There would always be some small-scale bootlegging operations, the lack of government taxes providing a small profit for the smugglers. Larger scale operations have a larger overhead, though, and far more risk of detection. They wouldn't be able to compete. However, you would still have drug producers developing different drugs, designer type drugs. But with ready, and legal, access to drugs, I would think the demand would be relatively small.
