That same argument was made eighty years ago, when Prohibition ended. You don't see bootleggers hanging around street corners and school yards anymore, do you?

There are a certain number of people who would do nothing else than stay drunk or high. Guess what - they're doing that already. Relegalizing drugs is not going to increase their numbers.

Since drugs will be cheaper, people will have to steal less in order to buy them. I consider that a bonus, not a problem.
