I think there's probably a substantial difference for harsh laws on drugs depending on the drug - ex. I would bet most people believe that heroin or meth should be illegal, but far fewer people would think that about marijuana. Pew study (link below) says 2/3rds of Americans think pot should be legal https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/11/14/americans-support-marijuana-legalization/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/11/14/americans-s...

What about the __thousands__ of actual drugs that exist, on a wide spectrum of potential harm in-between marijuana and meth/heroin? Trying to legislate this in some kind of fair manner is not a simple issue at all. If you just decriminalize everything for personal use... you still have a black market, you still ruin people's lives for being involved in the black market, and you still have a drug war.
