Taken to an extreme:
"Why forbid selling drugs when you can just put a warning label on them? And you could clarify that an overdose is lethal."
It doesn't solve any problems and just pushes enforcement actions into a hopelessly diffuse space. Meanwhile the cartel continues to profit and small time users are temporarily incarcerated.

It doesn't follow. The reverse is more likely: If you end prohibition, you end the mafia.
