That may be the case. But even if it is, we could 1) use the money we currently spend on drug enforcement and 2) use the money we could get from tax revenue from selling drugs to instead spend it to enforce the laws on those criminal exercises.
You're probably not going to see much revenue even if you did legalize it, the underground sources would still provide it and people would still buy it or grow their own. Plus the fact, even if you did have more money to spend, the government would just waste it, like they do with most things today, I can't imagine you'd see much, if any, overall improvement.
