True, I doubt dispute that, but there are far less instances of people killing because they can't get their perscription drugs as opposed to the illegal drugs.

Once again, I'm not disputing that and I am under no illusions that legalizing illegal drugs will "make the world a better place", it WILL however sharply decrease the violence related to drug gangs fighting over territory and enforcing their markets. Making proxy drugs available that don't have the addictive qualities of the current street drugs, while still allowing for a high is one spinoff of this plan.

That would be nice, everyone just getting along, drug free, violence free. Its a pipe dream though.
