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.
