The vast majority of people who buy and use drugs are also usually not involved in large organized crime units. This argument doesn't hold water.

Many illegal drugs are not addictive, or significantly less addictive than nicotine or alcohol. While some drugs are highly addictive, the laws are simply not based upon addictive potential. Even some of the most highly propagandized super-scary-drugs (LSD, Mescaline, MDMA) are not physiologically addictive.

Neither of these arguments are cogent.
