This is what they did in some European countries. They stopped enforcing and keeping records on drug related deaths, crimes, and usage. So now all the Western liberal media can report their skewed statistics showing their drug addiction, crime, and mortality rates are down...Well, of course they are, you stopped keeping accurate records of it.

Also, these places just made a demographic of life long drug addicts that are now dependent upon the government to support their habit. Sounds like a solid plan. What happens when the government can't supply the needs of their growing numbers of addicts? Well, it doesn't matter because when those addicts lie, cheat, rob and steal to get their fix it isn't a criminal offense anymore.
