Would it be cheaper for C.R. to legalize drugs?

I believe that part of the lack of impetous by the U.S. Government in particular to address the issue of illegal drug marketing and use, is based on the number of people employed in,or feed-off the Criminal Justice System that would be out of work, if some regulated use framework were established, for what are now deemed to be illegal drugs. The DEA would largely cease to exist and many prosecutors, defence attorneys, and judges would not be be required. Likewise, there would be a lower prison population with a reduced requirement for prison facilities and prison guards. The list goes on. There are other considerations in the equation of legalizing and regulating illegal drug use, but this consideration is certainly a factor.
