Scary perhaps. Show me the violence.

I lived in way Northern California and it doesn’t seem like illegal grows are up from in the 80s. I will ask my old high school buddies. If you have amount of pot seized or number of bust numbers from pre-prohibition days vs. now that would be stronger than assertion.

I proved that crime is down a lot since legalization. A few isolated cases don’t prove anything. Whenever prohibition has been relaxed or removed, crime has dropped. The 19th Amendment is instructive here.

Which of course dealt with alcohol which is tolerated to be sold privately and used openly in restaurants and bars. This isn't really something even the most tolerant countries want with hard drugs.

There is no real difference between “hard” and “soft” drugs except their legal status and societal acceptance. Alcohol kills far more than fentanyl. Mushrooms and acid are mostly harmless but are considered “hard” drugs. In Amsterdam all drugs are tolerated.

Heroin is given to hard core addicts for free by the government. They don’t have the problems with public disorder, drug related crimes or overdoses that we have.

One drug that I put in a different category is caffeine. It appears to be mostly beneficial. The drug that should really be outlawed is nicotine.

Lol, so what's the logic behind only banning nicotine?

It kills far more people than any other drug and creates a huge societal cost in increased health care costs. TBH, it is impossible to stop the use of as well, especially given the huge number of addicts. Prohibiting it would lead to a drug cartel smuggling it.

So then we should also remove all restrictions because criminalization doesn't work?

Remove all restrictions on drug use or remove all laws?
