I just solved all the world's problems in one post

The problem with legalizing drugs is everyone gets addicted to certain things. You never know what you're going to be addicted to or when it happens until it is far too late. Once that happens you can't go back to something "you're not addicted to" or even alcohol because it's just going to become a substitute and soon enough a substitute addiction.
Stopping drug enforcement will just put that many more addicts on the streets and who can't support their habit, not even by dealing now, so they're going to rob more people & property so they can buy more of this one thing they must have at all costs.

A system could be devised that prevents addiction. Say, you wanted to use opiates recreationally. First, you'd have to take a class on safe use. Then, you'd have to go to a designated recreational drug center where they keep tabs on how much you're taking, and give you fair warning when they think you're approaching "addiction".
A person with the right willpower can use opiates recreationally only once a week or a few times a month, and not feel addicted. "Addiction" happens when people use drugs to fill in the broken parts of their real life.
When I first started using opiates, I had a bottle of tylenol 3 with codeine. I was 13, and loving life. I didn't find it difficult to only take it once in a while; in fact that bottle of 30 t3s lasted me 3-4 months

I used opium infrequently in college, then stopped for years. Then went back on, a few times a month, a few times a week, etc.
