This will only increase the criminalisation of people who use drugs in the UK

If we legalise certain drugs and gather research, bit by bit we can realise how each one might benefit certain people with certain conditions and maybe even realise that one or two of them aren’t harmful. Plus being able to monitor the use of drugs provides the government with control whereas it feels like through increasing the amount or severity of laws on drugs use/possession the government are trying to gain control of something that they can’t. If they allow it to run its course they might find it easier not only to regulate but also gather research on.
