Rubbish. You cannot legalise such drugs.
It may work for a few rich rock stars and city brokers who can afford it, but for the average junky, the adverse effects of the drugs and the ever increasing dose needed to acheive the same high soon make it impossible from them to earn a sufficient living to support the habit other than by criminal means.
This would be true even if legalisation made the drugs cheaper. If you do make them legal and cheaper then far more will become addicted.
Only answers in the UK, more rehab centres coupled with a very harsh choice, either take rehab seriously and stop offending to feed the habit, or face a long jail sentence, not for the habit (if people want to kill themselves it's a matter of choice) but for crimes committed to feed it. We also need a prison system where drugs are not easier to get inside than they are outside.
Addiction should be considered an aggravating factor in crime, not an excuse, for the simple reason that an addict is far more likely to reoffend and is a greater threat to the public.
As for the suppliers - except for those licenced to supply for actual medical use - provide aid and support for alternative crops and burn the fields out wherever found.
