if you took the time to study the example of Amsterdam mentioned, you would see that legalizing drugs does not necessarily lead to increases in consumption. certainly not in the grand scale that you're fantasizing.

People who are willing to try drugs are not people who worry about having to abide by the law.
Yeah, I agree. Especially with bolded part.

I mean, think on it, cigarettes which are legal are a type of drug if I ever heard of one. You get addicted, your body starts to feen if you don't have one, it does nothing for your body except destroy it, all that stuff. Hell, it even says it will kill you on the damn box. If after knowing all of that, you are still willing to smoke, I doubt if you heard it was illegal, that would stop you.
