Decriminalization is hardly any better than it being altogether illegal, in a decriminalized system (meaning no penalties for consumers) the people responsible for the production of the product is still the criminal organisations, where as in a free-market regulated system or a state controlled system none of the profit is exclusively for criminals.
We need to set a standard for drug use, make people pay money for a state license to consume drugs the same way we do cards, each drug needs a different test which is added to your record, then when you present your card at the pharmacy they can see if you have the prerequisite knowledge. From that point on businesses can get contracts to supply pharmacies and the state can tax it.
This will achieve the following:
1. Remove massive sources of income from the criminal syndicates importing/growing it.
2. Stop billions in lost revenue persecuting stupid drug crimes.
3. Collect billions in tax revenue that will not only fund drug education and certification, but will also provide more state capital to be distributed as best seen fit.
4. Make sure that the only people getting access (apart from home grown) necessarily have proof of having a sufficient understanding of the substance in question.
