Oxy isn't available to the public without a prescription, which is difficult to get. Start selling it at the corner store for $20 a bottle and people will stop buying it illegally.
The idea is to legalize marijuana and sell it like cigarettes or alchohol.
I, however, don't think it will make that big of a difference to organized crime. Like I said before, the money just isn't there. Weight/volume per dollar makes marijuana a non-profitable drug to sell.
