  To see the first point, consider the use of drugs. Criminalizing use may turn a drug into forbidden fruit that is more attractive to potential consumers, and place production in the hands of criminal gangs who make consumption ever more harmful. Users may become less willing to seek medical treatment for fear of exposing their criminality, and may end up with criminal records that lead to social exclusion, and damage their employment prospects for years to come (United Nations 2015). Where criminalization does have these effects, the harm it does is out of all proportion to any harm prevented. Even if (HCP) is satisfied, (HPP) is not.
