Is alcohol and gambling safer or more dangerous because they're legalised?

The too much money argument is also wrong. Their will be less money, but more in the hands of large corporations, taxed and accounted for.

Crime flourishes when the people demand something the government denies. We all know that and can prove it. Pornography, Prostitution, Alcohol, Gambling and even drugs are safer in the hands of government rather than criminals.

The deaths in making drugs illegal is higher that the deaths from over doses.
