I’m always perplexed about legalization of drugs. Does that mean street dealers playing doctor and pharmacists would have state licenses for distribution? Does this mean all are innocent when people die of drug abuse from addicts getting drugs by these people/ Where is the dividing line if everything is legalized?
No, it means that, as in the several states that have legalized marijuana, store owners would be licensed and regulated - and would (absent excessive taxation) take many customers away from street dealers.

The seller of the legal drug alcohol is not generally held liable when someone fatally overdoses on the drug they sold. Do you think they should be?
Why perplexed? History will tell you. Illegal drugs are a modern phenomenon.
