I would never advocate for the destruction of lives legalizing any more drugs would do and the harm it would cause to others who do not partake in drugs or alcohol suffer as a consequence.

There's no good evidence the drug criminalization significantly reduces use - but it does lead to harms and destruction of its own, by putting inflated profits in the hands of violent gangs and cartels.

LOL, you are kidding right? Some things don’t need historical evidence to understand. Legalizing drugs will of course result in higher usage one can discern this with reasoning. Where do you get evidence that illegal drugs made legal will not still be distributed by illegal means...last information I saw from Colorado is the illegal pot trade is still flourishing...
