Getting rid of the black market, which is basically all illegal non- violent services/contraband would solve three things.
Less impurities in drugs since they would have to be regulated. No more rat poison in heroin, no more laxative in cocaine etc....
Second no more money going to criminals who support human trafficking, weapon trafficking, and out right murders. Also to add to point two, if prostitution is legal you get rid of the majority of human trafficking most likely.
Third you free up numerous people who are non-violent criminals, who may contribute to society in some way; instead of living off of our tax dollars watching their youth dwindle.
So I would argue having drugs illegal actually effects more people than having all drugs be legal.
