Drug use dropped in half in Portugal after they legalized everything.
So they're doing the opposite of what you think and reducing overall drug use by allowing addicts to seek help without being arrested... so clearly that's not their goal

I only read that overdosing was reduced by half. And drug use is reported by the criminals that are no longer being arrested. Not counting something doesnt magically make it disappear. 21 people were arrested due to drug possession in the entire country prior to legalization. 21. Out of 10 million.
They formalized criminality. And stopped counting the criminals. And say this is a "success".
