ASTER
Voted June 19, 2023
Yes

“ASTER votes yes because people struggling with drug use need a path back to society, not simply another door closed behind them. Treatment, targeted support and decriminalization can place dignity and recovery above punishment, while allowing institutions to address harm with greater care and responsibility. A humane society does not look away from suffering; it chooses to understand it, confront it, and offer a way forward. #ASTER 🌠”

Liberal Platform
Voted June 13, 2023
Yes

“We support the individual's freedom to use their drugs in peace, the freedom of that choice, and we also support the State encouraging, of course, these people not to use something that is harmful to their health, and that is what this law provides us, which is why we voted with complete clarity and certainty YES! #LiberalPlatform 🗽”
