The end of Prohibition ended the gang wars of the Roaring Twenties, and forced the mobsters to find new sources of illicit income. Illegal drugs, gambling and prostitution provided the new sources. We keep these things illegal because we have a patina of morality involved. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it, and we'll end 90% of the violence.
