People already take those drugs. Drugs are everywhere and have been for a long, long time. When I was a teenager, it was easier for me to get marijuana than alcohol. Why because one was regulated.

Why do you think the world will flock to drugs if they were simply made legal?

Drug addicts (people who need to get high) will find an alternate high if they can't get illegal drugs.

I agree with this. I don't think legality dissuades but a tiny number of people. I think most people who aren't going to do it don't take drugs because they've seen the results of the harder drugs and don't want anything to do with it.
