Thing is, legalizing those drugs would help to start treating the disease of addiction instead of criminalizing it and just recycling those people in and out of prison. And violence from the illegal drug trade would go down as it shifted into the hanRAB of regulated business. I agree with you hard drugs are bad news, but people make bad decisions and don't care if it's legal or not. I mean no one who wouldn't do it now is suddenly going to be like "you know I think I'm gonna give heroin a try" if it's legalized.
