Not QUITE that simple. You'd get a lot of problems too. You've got to expect some increase in drug use if they are legalized. And we're not talking pot here; this stuff (morphine, heroin, LSD, speed, crack, etc.) is dangerous. The next problem you face is the screaming of the loved ones of those who killed themselves with the drugs. And their efforts to get anti-drug laws re-instated.

AND you've got the problem of more people driving while drugging.

But the war on drugs is like Vietnam. It's lost. It's time to declare victory and go home.

This is like Prohibition. I have trouble convincing myself the results of legalization would be any worse than the war.
