This is, in my opinion, the only real issue with legalization. Where to draw the line on what is/isn't legal and deciding what criteria should be used in considering the legal status of a substance.

Yeah, so it should be possible to solve.
But it don't matter if it can be done. It wont be legalized because there's such a huge interest from many actors to keep the drug business illegal, and all these actors (police, lawyers, politicians, druglords, social workers, rehab institutions, custom control etc) will oppose legalization. :/

Wouldn't the police benefit from not having to spend so many resources on tackling drugs? Rehab centers would certainly do better business (particularly under my model), and my mum works in the social-working arena, and has been on many drug training programs, etc - the social care people are a lot more liberal about drug use than most (because they know the actual facts).

Or they want to drive up demand for their services!
