Oregon trialed full drug decriminalization "to end the drug war". The flaw is the alternative solution (treatment outside of jail/prison) isn't happening for enough people who fall into substance abuse. How many of these drug problems would exist if recreational drugs were handled like any other risky drug, i.e. get it from a doctor or pharmacist in a therapeutic setting and standards on dosage, formulation, inactive ingredients, and any use cases?
