Hard drugs are bad for 3 reasons.

1. The users: a.) They are obviously ruining their health and future, destroying their family, etc. b.) And they often resort to crime to support their habits.

2. The dealers: They bring violence into the drug trade.

If you legalize hard drugs, you will eliminate the dealer violence, but the user issues will still be there.
