The drug market currently is completely unregulated. It‘s easier for a teenager to buy weed, than alcohol. If we make it legal, we can actually regulate it, like alcohol.

This exact mentality, applied to guns, led to the school shooting situation in the US.

Also

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, it is estimated that about 1 in 3 women (or approximately 33%) have experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lives

Shall we legalize groping? Legalize it (it’s unavoidable) and then regulate it (applies rules to how long you can touch, where you can touch, etc)

No, missing regulation led to the school shooting situation in the US. Just legalizing won‘t solve any issues, without any proper regulations.

Consuming drugs is your choice, it only affects your body, life and mind. Sexual assault and drugs can not even be remotely compared.

It affects everyone nearby, many children have developed respiratory issues due to their parent’s usage of tobacco, drugs make it even worse, you lose control of yourself and ruins the lives of everyone nearby.

Where are you from, by the way? You certainly don’t seem to be from a country that suffers from drug addicts, I live in Brazil.
