So where do you suggest diverting the limited financial resources? Towards illicit drug programs (minimisation/education/prevention/enforcement) for a relatively small population of users and relative costs, or towards cigarettes/alcohol which have massive social costs and a huge population of users. Dont make me find the graph. I'll track one down that says "per capita" for you if that helps.
There is no way that decriminalising (as distinct from legalising) heroin would result in an impact greater than cigarettes.
NB: I drink and smoke, often in irresponsible quantites. I can assure you, legal or otherwise, heroin will never enter my body.
