Strongly agree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy, which includes the freedom to make choices about one's own body. Therefore, individualists would generally support the decriminalization of drug use as it allows individuals to make their own choices. However, the score is not a full 5 because individualism also values personal responsibility, and drug use can sometimes be seen as an abdication of that responsibility.
