>Criminalizing drugs greatly reduces the incidence of drug use
no it fucking doesn't

see:
>Prohibition
>CIA-funded crack epidemic in which the government explicitly disobeyed its own laws in order to sell more drugs
>opioids/fent
>dude weed lmao

the only thing that makes less criminals is solving the problems that cause people to become criminals
with drugs it's getting rid of the source or getting rid of the profit, not masking more useless bullshit legislation a drug dealer or a drug doer will never pay attention to.
