There are only two things that keep the balance.
1 - Strict law
2 - Education about the after facts if misused.
You need one out of these for a healthy society.
I would personally go for the second choice as if that is applied properly then does not matter where the drugs are no one would misuse them.

Huge sections of the population dependent on hard drugs, a decline in work attendance and consequent economic problems, a decline in education standards, children being brought up in drug-dependent home environments, a rise in workplace (and traffic) accidents, a rise in debt for many families and households, a strain on the health service and social services. Generally, not a happy picture. As 123everton points out, 19th century China is a good example of what happens when hard drugs are made legal and wholesale.

Being someone who took recreational drugs regularly when younger if it had been legal wouldnt have made any difference to me and my friends also, we would still have done it. On the other hand those of my friends who never touched any drugs would still not have done them had they been legal. The difference would be that as others have said the government would be making the money as well as the dealers.
It would reduce a lot of drug related crime if addicts were able to get what they needed for free, as in being given heroin in a hospital, instead of methadone where they still take herion and dont get off it. If you give addicts heroin they can lead a normal life and then start to reduce the amount they take until after a couple of years they can be clean. this is what they do in Sweden, and it works, plus they have a much lower uptake of heroin among teenagers.
