I think most importantly, addiction wouldn't be under the carpet. I think the main problem with addicts is that they can't get help for their addiction, without exposing criminal acts. I think if help were legal, and available, we would see more people avail themselves of help. I would be 100% for spending a big chunk of what we spend now on prisons, to help addicts of all substances get off their drug of choice- or at the very least, find ways to maintain them so they function well. That would be a humane and HUGE step in the correct direction, imo.
