Even with heroin being illegal, I&#x27;ve seen people get it without a problem. They have to resort to no crime to get it other than getting it itself being a crime. But this hurts no one.<p>What hurts people isn&#x27;t getting it, it&#x27;s what they do as addicts. Throw their lives away, resorting to crime to live day to day, get housing and food… They partly ruin the lives of those close to them too.<p>Legalization would do nothing to help this, it would just hurt a little. They&#x27;d get it a bit easier, but since they didn&#x27;t resort to violent crime to get it in the first place it would be meaningless.  The crime and disaster they cause <i>after</i> getting it and becoming addicted would remain.<p>But like you said in the other branch, we have seen different people and have had different experiences.
