Frankly, anyone who thinks legalizing drugs would be good for society isn't playing with a full deck.

Anyone who thinks you can't get just about any drug you want in today's society isn't playing with a full deck.

The people who would abuse it if it was legal are the ones who are abusing it now, when it's illegal.

Wrong. Millions of people have never tried drugs or become regular users simply because there is a societal/legal sanction against it. Take that away, add in the fact that it will then be legal to advertise and make drugs easily available to everyone, and you've got a scenario for a societal breakdown like what existed in Opium War-era China.
