This libertarian trope has gotten more annoying as I get older. No matter what you want legalized/deregulated, there is something that even you can't stomach. And organized crime can focus their business on that something. They probably already have.
You say legalize everything and then you say there will be "quality and proper labeling". Well duh, you have to enforce that; that means drugs that don't meet the standards are illegal. And your organized criminals will deal in them. There's no way out.
Current drug laws can be framed as a matter of "quality and proper labeling", we're just quibbling about the details.
Even legalizing some drugs would reduce organized crime. Would it completely destroy it? Probably not, but it would mean that there's less money to be made in it, and that means fewer people involved, less violence, less corruption.
