Quotation or sections for 2. Less people would overdose.
paraphrasing: 100 Americans die of overdose each day. This number doesn’t
have to be so high. Many people don’t even realize that overdose
is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S at around
38,000 people a year.
et me break this down for you real quick.
If you had a loved one who was doing drugs and you couldn’t stop
them no matter what, would you rather have them taking drugs of
a known strength and purity or have them play a guessing game of
how strong and pure their drugs are?
Would you rather them take drugs produced in accordance with
strict medial standards or drugs that were cut with dangerous
adulterants produced by organized criminals?
You can’t stop the people from doing drugs. You can only hope to
contain them.

3. Less people would go to jail.

Pretty simple. When all drugs are legal no one gets arrested for
selling or possessing them anymore.
From New York to California the jailed and torture of addicts is
routine. To pick one kind of torture: The Justice department
estimates that 216,000 people are raped in these prisons every
year. This is the number of rape victims not actual rapes — that
number is far higher.
As the writer Christopher Glazek has pointed out, this means the
United States is the first society in human history where more men
have been raped than women. Don’t tell a feminist that though.

4. Drugs would be held to a higher standard and produced at a

better quality.
 Supply and demand. The good stuff would reign supreme. Less
worry about the come down and more focus on the come up.
This would also decrease the number of accidental overdoses and
save human lives. That’s what we want people. To save humans.
