my point is why cant countries, nations, providences, states, cities, towns etc come to the conclusion that decriminalizing all drugs, medically regulating most drugs, and recreationally regulating light drugs like shrooms and weed(also medically regulating light ones) can and does work with sufficient harm reduction?

i mean its been made fairly clear by places like Switzerland and Portugal that decriminalizing works really well with good harm prevention and reduction policies but no one seems to care or want to fund helping these people and allowing non problem people their freedoms.

Switzerland Since then, the number of new heroin users in Switzerland has declined. Drug overdose deaths dropped by 64 percent. HIV infections dropped by 84 percent. Home thefts dropped by 98 percent. And the Swiss prosecute 75 percent fewer opioid-related drug cases each year. which also put 50 million CHF(58 Million USD) into harm reduction which put drug us and abuse at an all time low. not to mention Switzerland is a prime example of people wanting to be better but still use, the country has nearly eradicated tobacco/nicotine inhalation in turn of a much healthier alternative "nicotine pouches".

Portugal By 2018, Portugal’s number of heroin addicts had dropped from 100,000 to 25,000. Portugal had the lowest drug-related death rate in Western Europe, one-tenth of Britain and one-fiftieth of the U.S. HIV infections from drug use injection had declined 90%. The cost per citizen of the program amounted to less than $10/citizen/year while the U.S. had spent over $1 trillion over the same amount of time. Over the first decade, total societal cost savings (e.g., health costs, legal costs, lost individual income) came to 12% and then to 18%. when it was at its best performance of reducing drug abuse Portugal had about 76million USD in harm reduction and it was working as intended but once funding started being reduced then drugs started to become a problem again.

but then you look at places like Portland Oregon and British Columbia Canada. oregon put less then $14 million while also only decriminalizing which simply isnt enough and people were shocked for some reason, same with BC Health Canada announces $11.78 million in funding to help support people who use substances in British Columbia.

the places that had this work have bigger populations and it still worked due to funding. why cant we just Decriminalize all substances, medically regulate nearly all substances, and both recreationally and medically regulated light substances like marijuana and shrooms? its clearly possible with the right regulations and creates a huge amount of jobs and tax revenue?
