Colorado did a horrible thing legalizing marijuana before it was able to eliminate 95% of the illegal distribution.

Eliminating 95% of the illegal distribution without legalization is a utopian pipe-dream; even the world's police states have drug problems. The way we eliminated the illegal distribution of alcohol was to end Prohibition.

Oh, I see. So let’s make everything legal to avoid having to enforce the laws.

No, prohibition was ended because government attempted to make drinking, an American pastime, illegal. I don’t recall the framing fathers ever heading over to their favorite pub to smoke a joint and get high.
