Legalization eliminates the gangs and cartels. The problem is that it makes abuse and misuse into a public health crisis. There are no more gangs of liquor runners - instead we have InBev. People don't go blind from bad bathtub brews anymore, but they kill themselves with overconsumption or even kill others with driving drunk. So legal opioids would presumably mean the same: more abuse, more misuse, but safer and without the cartels.
