There are too many types of drugs, illegal and otherwise to simply say "let's decriminalize them all". Removing prison from the equation for personal use is a start. Creating the "drugs" as legitimate businesses will lesson the criminal aspect of the problem. However, without a clear understanding of why drug use is so prevalent, any legislation will not help those whose lives are destroyed by drugs, legal or otherwise. Decriminalization needs to be coupled with treatment.
