What we need is less drugs, and more fixing the issues on what causes people to turn to drugs.

Humans have been using drugs as long as we've been human. From caffeine to advanced hallucinogens.

I agree with the sentiment but it seems far more reasonable to stop criminalizing something so human as a step towards the goal, rather than put the goal before the metaphorical horse.
