Eli5 how decriminalization of drugs lowers rates
In: 2
A lot of the problems related to drugs come from the fact that by being illegal makes the entire process impossible to regulate and ensure its safe since there is nothing preventing violent crime surrounding it.
Making something illegal also means you need to spend resources enforcing this law(ie: this is why prohibition failed so badly, its was an unenforceable law at the time)
the places the chose to decriminalize it made it so under the added bonus of also placing regulations and faith that their citizens will be safe if they have to go that route._AKA doing this DEMANDS that a proper Care Network also comes into existence if its not up already, otherwise you are effectively sanctioning drug abuse.
