I do know people who carefully avoid breaking the law.
These people would not try drugs: they are illegal.
If the drugs were legal, these people might be willing to “give it a taste”. Why not? It’s perfectly legal.
And some people who try drugs find that they they like them. A lot. It can become a problem.
I don’t mean to overstate the case, but the number of people who would find their lives messed up by access to legal drugs is greater than zero.

Agreed.

I doubt it's greater than the number of people whose lives are messed up by criminals' enrichment from drug criminalization - and I think it's wrong to mess up lives that way to prevent some from self-messing.
