If drugs were suddenly made legal, what is the reasoning behind the idea that there would be an increase in violence?

If you peddled illegal drugs at $100 and ounce and suddenly could only make $10 an ounce, wouldn't you be pissed? The drug cartel is already prone to violence. Now they're going to take a 90% haircut. Should be interesting.
