And if the USA go down that route the UK (and most likely a large chunk of the rest of the world) will do the same.

Portugal has decriminalized

"Judging by every metric, decriminalization in Portugal has been a resounding success," says Glenn Greenwald, an attorney, author and fluent Portuguese speaker, who conducted the research. "It has enabled the Portuguese government to manage and control the drug problem far better than virtually every other Western country does."

But there's a lot of money for some in keeping it illegal.

The only logical explanation for drugs being illegal is the usual combination of money & power.

The "it's for own good" argument is so vacuous as to be an insult to most people's intelligence.
