If drugs became legal the why won't others try to produce drugs? The way
they are made is not a secret. And if you don't have to hide what you are
doing they are easy to make.
Criminal operations are the only ones providing drugs now as they are
illegal to provide.

And here I thought you had to grow them. Anyways, you are missing the
point. The criminal operations are the only ones capable of providing
the drugs to the legal market. They will continue to make money and do
whatever nefarious things with it that they do now. Again, legalizing
drugs will do nothing to remove the criminal element.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say some new companies will be
created or existing companies will expand to produce them.
I'm also going to make this wild assumption that people will rather
get their drugs cheaper at the store then pay more to someone sneaking
around a street corner.

Big difference, there was already a thriving legal business for alcohol
prior to prohibition. So we make drugs legal, where are they going to
come from?

That is one of the most ludicrous arguments being tossed about by the
legalizing drugs crowd. What in God's name makes you think that
organized crime will walk away from their BILLION dollar empires? Tax
the drugs?? LOL.
