and now we've opened the gate for literal opium, among anything and everything else that can f*** you up forever and/or kill you.

That's not what decriminalizing means. It's still illegal to sell, transport, or otherwise distribute the drugs that were previously illegal. Decriminalizing just means people aren't going to jail for using it, which is unambiguously a good idea because that paradigm has never worked. Punishing addicts for their addiction just makes it worse and makes overdosing more likely.
