I think a good case can be made for managing the drug problem in society by treating it as a medical problem rather than a crime.
Making a drug illegal provides opportunity for criminals to make money and one could wonder how crimes committed to obtain money to fund a habit may become less.
Prison numbers would be down I expect and less may need to be spent on police.
Drug abuse is the problem be the drug legal or not...well consumption in excess is the problem.
I can have a drink but I don't need one every day...many do.
