Except that hasn’t really happened anywhere else weed has been legalized, so not sure why you’d think that when there’s demonstrable evidence to the contrary.
I don’t smoke pot, I don’t like the smell, I had edibles like twice in my life, and don’t plan on repeating the experience.
I still think that there is little logical reason to forbid people from consuming, and that it is especially hypocritical to do so while alcohol and tobacco are legal, and freely available.
As has been stated already, past prohibitions didn’t really work out that well.
I’d also add that ‘mind-altering substances’ is casting a really wide net, and could be argued to include stuff like caffeine.
I personally like Portugals approach of decriminalisation, because I think criminalising these substances usually hurts people addicted to them most, while helping those wanting to profit of addiction.
And during the prohibition, black market flourished. The business will always be there. The question is do you support organized crime or do you support taxing to cover harm reduction and safety for people (buying from non-criminal sources, tested product etc)
Currently your stance is to provide money for organized crime
Yay, Germany gets to smell like skunk and be full of mentally fried idiots. Whoop-dee-frickin-doo.

keep assuming legalization will lead to disaster no matter how many times it doesn’t
Still better than smelling of alcohol and piss, the mentally fried idiots you already have.
You obviously aren’t fun.

For the record, I hate alcohol and tobacco just as much and think we should have stuck with Prohibition. No mind-altering substances should be legal.

Have you been watching “Reefer Madness” and thinking it’s a documentary? Spoiler: it isn’t.

Man I love the smell of fresh cannabis in the morning. Never gets old.
How is this different from today.
Potheads getting triggered because people don’t support their disgusting habit never gets old.
