I think this needs to be addressed on a drug by drug basis. I think it is silly that weed and shrooms are illegal. Marijuana is medicinal and no real harm seems to come of the two. However, I don't think things would go over well if there were private companies peddling heroin, or meth. Cigarettes get enough flak for killing their customers, I could not imagine what a cocaine peddler would feel. Those drugs are also really harmful to people, there would be no logic to allow them while banning things like transfats.
Decriminalization has worked for other countries and when implemented, drug usage actually goes down. People are treated as if they are ill when caught instead of being thrown in jail were they can basically network with other criminals.
