Yes, this is correct. I also don’t want my children to take drugs, and when you make things widely available, people use them more. You don’t have to look further than the opioid crisis to see that.

So perhaps you should teach them not to use drugs instead of trying to control what other people are allowed to put into their own bodies.

It really should be both.

Disregarding the fact that opioids are still illegal without a prescription (much like meth, and marijuana) there's plenty of articles that show that legalizing marijuana has lowered opioid use in those states.

That's the opposite of what studies on drugs use/availability say.
People in the Netherlands don't get stoned everyday just because they can.
In our society, we look out for each other, if somebody is in distress, e.g. hurt on the side of the road, we help him, call an ambulance, he gets medical help.
The fact that society makes huge efforts to save and cure people requiring medical attention, is at the root of the taboo on substances (or behaviors) that are unhealthy. Otherwise that would be a pure waste of resources for the society.
At least that was the theory. In practice, you are free to drink booze until you pass out...
