I would agree with you that we need to be more progressive in prevention, education, and rehabilitation, rather than just terrible scare tactics that just don't work.
I still find the legal precedent and protection drug abusers would get if all drugs would be decriminalized would put a terrible strain on society. You would not be able to avoid Not to mention the slippery slope of such a thing.
