Dealing with addicts is proof that all people who use drugs will become addicts?

I said "significant risks". I also explicitly mentioned opioids. I assumed that's what was meant by "hard drugs" since I don't think there's anything harder than opioids.
Yes. Claiming people can use these things without consequences is just wrong. Anyone who thinks otherwise has clearly never dealt with addicts. The only possible argument for drug decriminalization is getting rid of all the violent crime surrounding it. That's a worthy reason but must certainly be weighed against the significant risks presented by drugs. Lots of people out there have literally never witnessed the extent an opioid addict's drug seeking behavior.
