Seat belts aren't there to protect you from yourself: They are there to make a possibly deadly activity less deadly. And in some drug classes (like heroin), this is what legalisation does. We already have experience with heroin and other opiods because of the medical uses. With legalisation, we can make sure the strength is correct. We can get rid of some impurities. We can make meth in a proper science lab instead of blowing up a neighborhood house. We can be sure of clean needles, clean products, and things like that. If someone starts to come into clinics often, we can suggest treatment early on. We can educate people on signs of addiction and a slew of other things. It won't stop a subset of problems, just makes them a little better.
