Yes, let's be thankful drugs are illegal otherwise lots of people would be taking them.

Good question & thank you for asking it.
Seek out & download a book called "The Emporer Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. Google is not your friend here, but if you seek hard enuff it can be downloaded & read for free. Original copies of the print version sell for many $100's.
It explains, in simple language, why lots of narcotic drugs have been made illegal.
This book, it can be said, is just a starting point in your path to enlightenment. Many will tell you it contains "nowt' but lies", yet they fail to explain how no one has EVER claimed the £100,000 dollar bounty to prove any one of its many facts wrong.
Do you think a material should be banned if it causes the deaths of millions of its users?
Do you think a material should be banned if it is a major contributor to crime, disorder and vioence?
Do you think a material should be banned if it causes lifelong addiction, damages the health of users and bystanders, and is harder to escape than heroin?
Do you think a material should be banned if it causes its users to sit around giggling and talking nonsense?
Do you think a material should be banned if the people and businesses profiting from addiction, ill health and death, donate millions to the ruling political party?
Do you think a material should be banned if the act of banning it causes vast amounts of money to flow into unregulated supply, enriching organised crime and fostering a culture of lawbreaking and tax evasion?
Ban web forums?
There's very little reason for some illegal drugs being illegal (cannabis). Some are hideously dangerous and banned for good reason (fentanyl). Some are banned for no obvious reason (nitrogen oxide). Some are legal even though they're far more dangerous than any illegal drug around (alcohol). Some are banned because no one wants to be the ones to allow a new mind altering drug even if they're less damaging than traditional ones (synthetic alcohol).
Drug laws are a mess.

You are going to need to build dozens of new prisons to accommodate all these extra long term prisoners,
which we all know is never going to happen. Also if you plan on banging petty twoca's away for life willy nilly be prepared for the crimimals to start arming themselves and using deadly force to evade capture. It wouldn't end well!
You need to try to takle the cause of this seemingly increasing anti-social behaviour. Which is poverty and disillusion. Do you think brexit has helped?

Cannabis, supposedly harmless and peace-inducing, is actually incredibly dangerous and drives some to unbelievable acts of violence.

All the illegal drugs are dangerous; I don't differentiate between "soft and hard" drugs. Fentanyl is relatively new to the drug abuse world and its ill effects have had much media exposure - which is good - but I suspect you're only citing the danger of fentanyl because it is fashionable to do so. The harm that fentanyl does is no different to that of cannabis, heroin, cocaine etc.
Is this illegal? I don't know. The fact that it's an explosive substance is one reason why you wouldn't want intoxicated people in possession of it.
Alcohol is very dangerous when taken to excess and has caused violence, poverty, broken families etc., but its use is widespread and mostly harmless; the damage it causes is proportionately small. Although alcohol is a drug like the others most people do not drink it to become intoxicated, whereas cannabis, cocaine and the rest are only taken for intoxication. In this country, as in most, we have enjoyed alcoholic drinks for centuries and they are part of life. I'd hate to think what the world would be like if, say, cocaine were the most used drug, or cannabis or heroin. Would the harm caused be as proportionately small as that of alcohol?
I haven't a clue what you're on about here!
Our drug laws are adequate - their enforcement, or rather the lack of it, is a mess.
