An increase in drug usage is the one drawback to the legalization of drugs. It is simple economic theory. If drugs become legalized, the cost of production decreases and consumption subsequently increases. Regardless, this drawback should not prohibit the myriad benefits of legalizing drugs.

Even if it had only negative side effects the legalization of drugs should not be stopped.

It's a pure freedom of choice issue.
