I wouldn't worry about it.
If drugs were legal and hence cheaper, the govt could collect tax on them and save money on police.prisons; and people would have more money to spend on other things, so while wealth would be distributed slightly differently, we would be richer rather than poorer, ditto banks.
"we would be richer rather than poorer"
Sure but wouldn't our assets by less liquid though?
