Do it like my country did

Economic advise from portugal?

Well, I'll just let RationalWiki explain:

Portugal has taken the war on drugs to a new level - by decriminalising all personal use. Although the law was passed by the socialist government in 2001, the conservatives kept the law when they gained power the following year, and transferred the country's drug and addiction institute from the justice ministry to the health ministry.[3]

The effect of the law has been a reduction in teenage use of the drugs, and a reduction in HIV cases caused by sharing needles.[4] The country has also saved money - originally part of the law's intention - as treatment of drug takers costs less than imprisonment.

Simply put, decriminalising drugs has worked in Portugal; drug use is down, money has been saved by the government, and I'll just let Bill Hicks talk some more:
