"legalizing drugs will stop that number of deaths instantaneously" - really? As long as there is a profit margin and desperate impoverished people, this sort of activity will always exist - it will just shift to smuggling or dealing some other contraband.
And yes, I'd argue removing barriers and facilitating access would likely create a few more users.

And your arguments aren't? And yes legalizing drugs will stop the murder rate. When cartels are fighting for territory over something that generates $50+ billion a year, I'd imagine they'll kill anything and anyone. But legalize drugs and all of a sudden their fighting for...nothing. Drug prices and profits are astronomical because they are illegal, so why charge less than what people will pay?
