> we have some people who think drug use is immoral
Sure. But that's a big aspect of the argument, at least for me - lots of things are immoral, many of which are legal.
It is entirely possible to concede the point and still, for either public health or cost reasons, want to stop doing destructive, expensive things that don't actually reduce drug use, decrease property crime or violence, or dampen business for the cartels. (My views are different, just saying these are logical views people hold.)
