War on drugs?

Ok, so everybody knows how this dance goes. Drugs are made illegal, people use them, some die, some get messed up, some get away, some new people get introduced to it, rinse and repeat. I myself feel Weed should be legalized, but in this conversation I'd like to avoid Weed discussion. Instead I have a spitball idea of the hardcore stuff. Instead of outlawing it, put age restrictions on it and sell it to people. However to purchase all you need do is register. Now the thing is, it is your choice. If you are messed up on these drugs or you do something illegal to acquire more, then that is where punishment comes in. I haven't come up with exact levels or ideas of what would be appropriate, but to get an idea of how much trouble you would be in, say level 1 is least and 5 is worst. 1. Using without registration 2. Committing a crime while on one of the drugs 3. Allowing or supplying minors with said narcotics 4. Committing unspeakable acts against another person while on drugs So basically this is in a world where we do have the funding for this sort of thing. If you want out of the drugs you are offered free rehab or if you go to jail you would get a form of rehab. Now there are pros and cons to this. Some are heavy, some are light. What I'm looking for is a discussion. Is this a good idea, is it terrible? Do you have something to add or is there something you would remove from this idea. The floor is open
