Thank you for reading and criticizing my paper! I think you are talking about the part where I stated "Decriminalization of drugs would decrease crimes, decrease deaths, have less people in prisons, which would decrease the amount of prisons we would have, decrease diseases, create more jobs, help with schools, and bring in more revenue" has not happen yet in the US but has occurred in Portual. I included a website that gives you all the stats you are looking for and it shows you how the decriminalization of drugs decreased a lot of things in Portugal. In Colorodo, the legalization of marijuana decreased the crime rate and brings in around 35 million annully from not arresting people with marijuana. People abuse the use of cigarrettes and alcohol
