I think that's how the concept of supply and demand works.

Ok,please show me the reports and statistics on the amount of Murders,Armed Robberies,Thefts and other assorted crime that can be linked to the supply/distribution of alcohol and tobacco or the procurement of it.
Will there be a black market still? Absolutely,but nowhere near of today's size and scope.Why would u buy XTC or Cocaine from a dealer when you can buy the ICI produced merchandise from Boots that has guaranteed quality.... Very few people will,just as most people in NL buy from the coffee shops and most people here buy legal fags.
