That made no sense. When did I say anything about eliminating laws on murder? I simply said that the drug traffickers would no longer traffic in marijuana if it were legalized.
Thereby stopping the crime associated with it.

Same argument, make it legal and it's not a crime by definition.
Drug traffickers would no longer traffic in drugs without the partnerships of the users.

Count-your-change is pointing out the common fallacy in your thinking. You are saying that in order to eliminate a crime, all we have to do is make it legal.
If that were true, then in order to eliminate all crime, we have only to eliminate all laws. The syllogism is not true, so your argument is deeply flawed.
