Yes, as long as there are legal drugs that possess a quality that can be abused, there will be people who abuse them.
When my wife was taking narcotics for her chronic pain due to a botched cervical surgery, I used to take her to the pain doctor every month (there were no call-in prescriptions. Ever.). She was not only one of the few regular patients who was actually disabled; but she was also the only patient (and I spoke to many) who wasn't also getting narcotics from one or two other doctors, which was strictly prohibited. So there's abuse - but at least these people aren't out committing crimes to buy heroin.
But go ahead and legalize pot - the money we spend fighting its use and the cost to our prison system is ridiculous. Maybe it would free up some resources to catch some violent criminals.
