this is a very convoluted topic, on one hand the Govermnet could tax the income of the drugs if it's legal and thus make money out of other people's suffering, but again that's been the case since the dawn of civilization. Does it matter if it's a 9 to 5 job or Heroin?
At the other hand, people with addiction issues can seek medical help without fear of persecution, as more people talk openingly about this issue the stigma with drug addiction will also disappear, meaning people can be open about their sobriety and raise awareness about it and encourage people to get help without stigma.
In northern Europe and in Belgium in particular we have a huge issue with Cocaine, it's much more popular than weed. but since it's illegal it's a hush hush situation and nothing is changing about it.
