If it were so, Sweden would have a comparatively good record on t.ex. overdoses. Do we, really?

On that same premise, do you think we should outlaw sugar, alcohol and nicotine?

Current legislation is more realistically a huge cost, funneling money to black-market gangs and hopeless policing.

Weigh it against the cost for harm caused by narcotics, 40bn or so. I do think we should regulate sugar, alcohol and nicotine, but i don't think they're comparable since they're firmly part of our culture - at least sugar and alcohol. Overdoses are outliers, the bulk of this is sick leave/unemployment, therapy, quality of life, social difficulties.
