I don't know whether the public cost would go up---or down--- if drugs were legalized.

Just like Congress didn't know, or at least failed to consider, whether the cost of food would go up around the world as a result of their ethanol actions.

I do take your point about the cost of enforcement, though.
But that law of unintended consequences is a powerhouse.
