Well, t_s, I hope you are right. I have lots of "expectations" as well, (i.e. that people know the laws and will stop breaking them....or that "criminals" will magically just stop being criminals, or that people will stop murdering, raping, robbing other people, etc) but those "expectations" don't seem to ever happen. Maybe they will, magically, if drugs are legalized, like alcohol, is. But then, maybe, the reality will be just like it is today, since alcohol is legalized. Lots of crime of all sorts, that didn't go away because alcohol was legalized. I would feel better about the situation if there was a couple of states that decided to be a "test model" to see what happens to their citizenry if drugs were legalized for a stated number of years. Maybe citizens of other States could come to the "test" states for their drugs of choice, and those States could pick up the pieces for whatever happens. We can always continue to dream, I guess.
