What would likely happen to organized crime if drugs were legalized?

What will be an ideal response?


Many believe that traditional organized crime would be seriously affected by legalization. Some feel that the Mafia would not disappear, because organized crime would be able to survive on other criminal activities, such as loan sharking, gambling, prostitution, and child pornography. But drug legalization would basically remove the backbone of organized crime's profits, causing it to diminish in importance.
