You assume there will be an increased supply of idiots if drugs were legalized. That is far from obvious. With alcohol and tobacco legal, hardly everyone smokes or drinks.

And there is quite difference between teenagers stealing fags from the local 7-11 and gang members gunning each other down in the streets.

What? You LIKE spending billions every year on an unsuccessful "War On Drugs" that has been going on longer than the Vietnam War and with no more success? You like putting lots of people in jail on minor drug offenses at $30K-$60K per?
