Jeff I'm am not speaking in the hypothetical. I've seen what I speak of.

Drugs are not used by irresponsible people only. Drug use creates irresponsible people. I was one of them.
I didn't abuse alcohol until drug use was injected into the equation.

Drugs change behavior. Some people to a greater existent but in my 20 years of drug culture I never met a single person who could tell me their life was improved by drug use.

The thought that the same people in the same numbers will use and abuse drugs whether legal or not is crazy.
Remember when pot prices really started to climb. I was there. The powers that be (politicians) thought if they decriminalized pot (made possession of a small amount) and increased the penalties for sales that the price increase would reduce use.
Price was not the issue penalty was.
The truth is that more people started using pot.
