What would happen to the USA if we ended prohibition right now?

What ever drug you want sold by 13 yr old children, you keep that drug illegal and that's what they'll be selling.  I personally don't want 13 yr olds selling any drugs on any street corner.  Therefore we have to regulate and control all of them and take them out of the hands of the gangsters and thugs.

And regulating and controlling them will mean there will still be a black market for them.

If you want a drink of alcohol, would you rather go to a tavern/store? Or Billy Bob's shack in the back? I'm sure opium users would rather go to a legal opium den than a abandoned house in crack alley. Don't you think?
