This is another crucial but obvious point that somehow gets glossed over -- we already have laws for criminal negligence, DUI, littering (for the syringes that everyone is complaining about), disorderly conduct, theft, etc. so there is no need to worry that the world will collapse into disorderly chaos. There is zero indication that someone will decide to just do heroin because it's suddenly legal, and Portugal's recent history indicates that it's possible to simultaneously lessen addiction rates while moving toward less criminalization.
