It is our mind's tendency to try everything which is considered illegal and unaccepted because breaking laws gives it a sense of thrill. Mind is a complex thing. It runs towards things which are difficult to get but it also happens that when a thing become easy to get, our mind begins to ignore it. I think the same thing happens with drugs. As narcotics are very difficult to get and a sense of thrill is associated with their consumption, people, especially teenagers easily attract toward them. Also, narcotic drugs are part of a big underworld business which earns a huge profit every year worldwide because the scarcity of narcotics make them highly profitable. When this thing become legal people won't be attract to it easily and also this will not remain a profitable business. Once profit is disassociated with this business, the empire of drug cartels will collapse. I may be wrong but the governments don't have any alternative either.
