I think the difference is that alcohol (tho I do not agree with it being legal) was a well established and widely accepted legal industry that most people partook in that they just took away. Drugs are not a well established legal industry most of the population do not do drugs.
Yes it would make it so they people with heroin on them wouldn’t get arrested but rather than making heroin legal if instead on a case by case basis you could be sent to a rehab facility instead of prison. If heroin is legal these people will have one less incentive to quit .
