You've been downvoted but you're right. Banning drugs doesn't stop consumption.

However, drugs bans can shift people from safer drugs to borderline-legal but unsafer drugs. It also prevents people getting purer drugs, leading to unsafe mixtures. And there is a chilling affect on safe consumption information, as well as accessing medical treatment.

It also leads to people seeking drugs illegally, which in turn can result in people taking more dangerous drugs because illegal drug dealers have a profit motive without being constrained by the legality of the drugs they're selling.

In that case, user are going to use Butane instead. It's far worst for the body, but easily accessible and cheap.
