Measured how? Overall harm is what we're interested in, not usage and not necessarily crime related to a specific drug.
In any case, I don't want to suggest that the alternative is some kind of anarchic free-for-all - so enforcement wasn't a well chosen word (sorry!). I mean prohibition specifically, not just any kind of regulation.
If anything, I think existing "legal" drugs like nicotine and especially alcohole could use more regulation, not less.
The saying perfect is the enemy of good pretty much sums up my stance here :-) - don't bother aiming for complete abolition despite the fact that that might be a "perfect" solution if achievable.
