While drug use itself is largely a victimless crime, the type of people who do certain drugs are likely to be committing other crimes where there are victims.
When a drug user is locked up, they can't commit these other more serious crimes.
The system works fairly well now with judges giving millionaires caught with powdered cocaine a lenient sentence and locking up the street thug with rock cocaine. The left thinks that system is racist, but they never think more than one step ahead. They don't consider all of the other crimes the thug is behind and will continue doing if not locked up for the crack.
