There are several benefits. The first is that what was purchased would be what is received. No more dangerous mixing that has resulted in so many fentanyl deaths. The drugs would be out of the hands of criminal organizations and into the hands of controlled business. This would reduce crime. Once legalized, perhaps there would be more compassion for those that are addicted, maybe an addict wouldn't need to steal to support their habit because there are other options. Most importantly, the militias that exist in places like Honduras or Mexico would dry up, as they wouldn't have a product to sell anymore, as their customers now buy from more standard supply chains.
