Yeah, if you make it illegal and don’t enforce the law that’s what you get.
But if you enforce it like, say, Singapore does, believe me, it makes a huge difference.

That said, I can remember back in the 1960's when people went to prison for the possession of a single joint. I personally am glad I never went to prison for such an infraction.
