I think that to create a legalised scenario makes a lot of sense - it's pretty well documented that gang activity increases in conjunction with illegality of commodities that are in demand from the general populace (though last time, we call them "mobsters").

I'm curious, actually, now that I think about it, how much in tax revenues are received - and how much ISN'T spent on enforcement - since Prohibition was lifted.
