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

The bureau of ATF exists for a reason: just because certain, easily abusable items (alcohol, tobacco, firearms) are legal does not mean that the black market has gone away, namely because these things are regulated still for public safety (fighting against moonshine made with engine coolant). While legalization will make strides against use by children and such, it will not vanish entirely.

And the ATF does a nice job at it (barring the exceptions like waco tx and ruby ridge and others). Don't you think the ATF can handle this?

That is true. While i could probably have some heroin on hand in 24 hours if I asked some shadier acquaintances of friends of mine, i wouldn't know where to begin to ask for white lightning around here.
