You confuse 3 concepts: drug use, drug abuse, and drug trade violence.
Not all drug use is drug abuse.
The vast majority of drug trade violence would end if the stuff were legalized, because legitimate companies with access to police protection and court enforcement of property rights and contractual obligations would sell the stuff.
Ever wonder why, since the end of Prohibition, you never see turf battles between Miller Brewing Co. and Anheuser-Busch?
Ever wonder why tobacco-selling stores don't want to sell to minors? Because they will lose their license. Where are the restrictions for drug dealers today?
