It is the human tendency to try everything which is considered illegal and unaccepted because breaking laws gives our mind a sense of thrill. Mind is a complex machine. It craves for the things that are difficult to get while it neglects things which comes to us easily, no matter how important they may be.
We like things which are rare or difficult to get. Rare and sensational things give us pleasure and breaking laws, gives thrills us. This behavior is manifested while someone uses drugs. As narcotics are very difficult to get and a sense of thrill is associated with their consumption, people, especially teenagers, attracted to them enormously. Narcotic substances are part of underworld business that earns a huge profit to drug dealers. Scarcity of narcotics makes them highly profitable. When these substances are legalized in all countries, their consumption will decrease as this business will not remain profitable, provided everyone is allowed to synthesize and make them. Once profit is disassociated with this business, the empire of drug cartels will collapse.
