OK Merc, look at it this way.

When alcohol was illegal, who did all the bootlegging and standovering?

The Mob. (mostly, in conjunction with the Irish)

When alcohol was legalized, what did The Mob get involved in?

Drugs.

It's a natural progression, but basically, violence over alcohol supply evaporated overnight almost.

If you legalize drugs, the same thing would happen.

Yes there'd still be people who try to undercut the drug companies or come up with some new and better drug, but mainstream users would go the legal route because it's easier, and less dangerous. Exactly the same thing that happened with alcohol.
