No government is selling any drugs NOW.Purity doesn't equal safety. In fact you will more likely overdose from a pure product, particularly if you are talking about a substance like heroin where peoples tolerance means an average dose varies greatly between users.
No government is in the business of distributing drugs, just as they are not in the business of selling tobacco or alcohol. It is counter productive for them to try and balance a health budget while at the same time being responsible for placing pressures on it. Sick people don't work and therefore can't pay taxes.
You can talk about education all you want but there is a significant proportion of people who still don't wear their seat belts or attempt to do their own electrical work. I'd argue that it is probably the same percentage of people who get into serious trouble with their drug taking today. Legalising all drugs won't stop the idiots dying any more than than it will stop idiots killing themselves train surfing.

The government stance is always do not buy and use drugs.
Nothing but costs and a healthy brain...So whats stopping people using it every weekend?
I don't know any one of my friends who have been arrested for drugs and we are all in our 40's with at least half a life time of using drugs.The drug war does not focus or make a sliver of diffrence in demand.
Almost everyone gets popped eventually OTW.
