If a certain vice doesn't need regulation, it didn't need to be illegal in the first place.

Most vices don't need to be illegal in the first place. That doesn't necessarily mean they aren't made illegal.

Also I said "heavily regulated" not just "regulated". If regulation places a high burden on some industry in some cases it will just eliminate the industry, in others it will create a black market. With most vices it will create a black market. You can have regulation like "no sales to kids", maybe a reasonable level of taxes, but get too strong on either and you lose some to most of the benefits of legalization.
