The problem I see with criminalizing drugs (including sell, posses and transport) is that drug addicts and abuse is mainly a health issue. There's an underlying reason why those people start consuming that shit. Same as with sugar/obesity/diabetes here in Mexico. Once you make it ilegal, suddenly you created a criminal issue. You've created another problem for yourself and split your resources to fight both problems now. I would rather prefer government/society focus only in the underlying health issue. And disappear the criminal issue by making it 100% legal. Imagine if suddenly refined sugar became illegal in Mexico, suddenly the government would have to fight not only the obesity epidemic, but also the sugar trafficking criminals.
