Fewer people wouldn't be doing it.  However fewer people would be made destitute about it.

I'm pretty sure that, given the effects of heroin on an individual, most addicts would still be running themselves into the ground using it. How could an addict maintain a job? Without a job, how can they afford a house? Even if heroin was dirt cheap, we're back to square one. And don't give me any of that bs about common sense, you just said yourself that "fewer people wouldn't be doing it," a roundabout way of admitting that more people would become addicts, which would only make the problem much, much worse. That is what I was applying common sense to.

War on Drugs is the reason for around half the crime.

The War on Drugs, btw, is just further evidence that the Government cannot ban anything, they can only make the situation worse.

You're right! Let's end all of the government bans. Civilians should be allowed to own atomic warheads! And people should be allowed to carry guns into movie theaters and religious buildings too, right? Because if people in those places had had guns, those shootings would have ended real fast. Let's not stop there, everyone on airplanes should be equipped with an assault rifle! Surely this will reduce the possibility of further violence in the air.
