Drug prohibition is the source of much crime, not drugs themselves.

People rape and kill even without drugs. Should we confine everyone in prison because some people hurt others?

Drugs do not make you rape and kill. Drug addiction is an evil, but outlawing drugs hasn't stopped people from becoming addicts, has it? In fact, more people are being raped and robbed and killed because drugs are illegal, and therefore more expensive, and more lucrative to trade in. If you really want to decrease the amount of human suffering, decriminalize drugs. Anything else is just moralistic posturing.
