More people OD on alcohol every year than all other drugs combined. Tobacco kills the most. There is no rhyme or reason why certain drugs are legal and others are not. It is mostly cultural, it has nothing to do with how dangerous they are.

In Amsterdam, they had an epidemic of heroin ODs in the 70s. They decriminalized usage, forced druggies into rehab, and if you failed rehab enough times you get free medical-grade heroin supplied by The State. Drug-related crime and ODs have dropped to almost zero.

Public-health experts in the Netherlands say free distribution is one reason that drug-related deaths are far less common than in the United States. The program also has reduced crime and improved the quality of life for many users, according to Ellen van den Hoogen, who runs it.

Drug use is decriminalized in The Netherlands, with no enforcement as a matter of official policy. Drug distribution is still a crime and enforced. Marijuana and mushrooms and other psychedelics are decriminalized well.
