ELI5: How is the decriminalization of all drugs in a country beneficial?
gpt
1) It frees up police resources to better utilize their time. Fewer court dates, less paperwork, etc... Police departments are still free to take down dealers and distributors, but are no longer concerned with catching the average user.

2) Speaking of the average user, it frees them up to seek treatment without fearing jail time. This theoretically reduces the number of addicts by getting them help.

3) it reduces prison populations, which saves everyone a little money.
