The Dutch government makes a difference between soft drugs (e.g. Cannabis) and hard drugs (e.g. Cocaine), and for good reason.
While most people don't get into trouble from using Cannabis, cocaine usage can wreck people's life. Unfortunately I have had to witness this a couple of times in my circle of friends.
While criminalising hard drugs is not ideal, legalising them and thereby making them more easily available will have a devastating impact and destroy too many lifes.
