Because 80% of them are directly related to drug dealers. (Or at least that's what the news keeps saying here.)

Have you compared that number with countries where drug usage is legal?

You are working hard to find a problem with it, aren't you?
80% of the crimes being linked to drug use means that most people will only care about the remaining 20%.
But, anyway, AFAIK, drug usage is not a crime in Brazil. Dealing is. And for dealing related crimes to go away, one has to legalize the entire production and distribution.
