The Wild Caucus, like most other organizations within the Libertarian Party, advocates for the decriminalization of all substances for use by adults. It is the belief of the caucus that drug use is a cultural issue and therefore must be dealt with organically, and not by the State. Founder and Chair of the Wild Caucus, Elijah Mack, has personally expressed support on social media for the Portuguese system, holding that such a system, if implemented in the United States, would lead to decreased overdose rates, higher addiction recovery rates, and safer use of drugs in the country. | |||
