I'm not sure about the crime argument to be honest.

If drugs became legal, do you think all the organised crime would suddenly disapear? Will all the people who were willing to ignore the law, just suddenly think stuff it, I'll go and work at McDonalds?

I don't think so. They will just shift their activities into another arena. So I don't think you can say it will cut drime, just shift it.
