So, even stuff like Meth that is instantly addicting to some people? If it weren't harder to get and illegal, I'd hate to think of how many 18-21 year old kids would decide just to "give it a try" only to have it ruin their life. Then when something is that addicting and you can't afford it anymore... then what? Wouldn't it create more crime, more robberies, thefts, possibly murders in the process? I think we have a pretty good balance, and some drugs are slowly becoming legal as we learn more about them and we can setup systems to control their distribution.

Yes, everything. Adults 18-21 already have access to meth and other drugs. Regarding your other speculation about decriminalizing drugs, we don't have to speculate. Other countries have already done it and seen improvements in their society. Crime and addiction rates go down. We have a horrible balance. Every single day we have prohibition, drug convictions ruin more people's lives and it makes it harder for them to get help for their addictions. Every day we have prohibition, SWAT teams have another chance to run wild with lies https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/10/14/little-rocks-dangerous-and-illegal-drug-war/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/10/14/l...
