All making drugs legal is make them legal.

Every single dime in the criminals pockets will still be there along with all the crime. They will just do something else to get money without working.

Legal drugs solves nothing and would likely just cost taxpayers more.

Show me where I said legalization would end killing. What it will end is the hyperinflation of drug profits and channeling of those profits into criminal hands. I support taking resources away from criminals - maybe you feel differently.

That's clearly wrong. If there was any other way to make as much money with as little work, they'd already be doing it. Legalization will take a bite out of crime just as ending Prohibition of the drug alcohol did:

"The lush traffic in alcohol beverages during the violent years of 1920 to 1933 had laid the base of organization for a number of criminal gangs. The termination of the ban on liquor deprived these gangs of their most lucrative source of money" - Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce
