This logic does not work. Were drugs legal, your simple rule of suply & demands would lead to... you guessed it... more drug use! Alcohol use decreased by 50% during Prohibition professor.

Seriously, you're not making any sense. Demand drives supply. Demand would not increase (as it has been proven in the Netherlands) when drugs are made legal. The market would be flooded with drugs, which would cause the prices to drop, causing the dealers to go out of business. It's simple really. The government doesn't want the WOD to end, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Your argument that access leads to drug use just can't be proven. In fact, the opposite has been proven in Europe already.

Nonsense. People did it where it couldn't be counted. Just like drugs.
