Stupid people will abuse illegal drugs regardless, and the consequences will likely be far more dire. The way I see it, if it has any potential for drug harm reduction at all, it should be a go.
So many current 'illegal' substances are only harmful because they are illegal and therefore unregulated and uncontrolled. Alcohol is far more harmful than most (not all) illegal substances. The illegal status of mdma for example is the reason there have been "overdoses" (when really it wasn't mdma at all) in the past.
If you want evidence of decriminalized drugs being beneficial, just take a look at Portugal.
Couldn't agree more.
