Yes legalise all of them like Portugal did, but spend all of the enforcement budget on rehabilitation and re-integrating addicts into society.[1]
What makes a drug addictive is not the substance itself, but the environment which surrounds the 'addict'. An environment that is poor in social connections and purpose makes drugs more addictive to the users.

- GuB-42 8y agoThis is a common misconception that Portugal legalized all drugs. They decriminalized personal drug use and possession of low quantities. Drug use is still illegal. The difference is that you won't face justice and you won't go to prison. Instead, you will face a commission and they may send you to a rehabilitation center, or fine you for a reasonable amount. Drug trafficking is still a crime which carries heavy penalties.
