"Alcohol companies flourished and propogated once prohibition was lifted."

Lets assume you are correct. That would mean Alcohol company's no longer used thugs and criminals to move their product. Same holds true with drugs and terrorist organizations. Either way we win if drugs are legalized.

Oh, you mean decriminalizing theft would stop people getting killed in robberies? Wow, perhaps we should decriminalize theft. Maybe we should decriminalize every crime in which people have tended to get killed so we can say that society is safer. I'm sure that would work (/sarcasm). You noteably dodged the rest - as expected.
