Now perhaps you will see why I find the logic of "if we make it illegal criminals could be in danger" silly.

That's exactly what reformers and some doctors say should happen. Legalize all drugs. Sell them at a pharmacy. If a person has an addiction problem, send them to rehab, not prison. No more street corners dealers with guns. No more meth labs that explode. And there is absolutely no proof that doing this leads to more drug users, that is a myth and scare tactic. I also believe the only people that should be in prison are violent criminals. All non-violent offenses should be punished with fines and community service.

"Nearly three-fourths (72.1%) of the population are non-violent offenders with no history of violence"

I know, off topic.
