2. More people will be able to afford to use as it is cheaper
3. Some people who already use will use more now as it more affordable.
So how can this not increase use and cause more problems?

By taxing the drugs as tobacco and alcohol are currently being taxed the government can pay to EDUCATE and to help fund addiction clinics.
As for there being more people attracted to it well I suspect most of the present attraction/addiction to drug taking is down to the thrill of doing something forbidden and illicit.
