Hahahahahahaha. You made a joke about "getting the munchies" and pot. Thats pretty funny..... I heard the 7-11s in Colorado can't keep Doritos in stock!!! ROFL!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!

Anyway, causation on that stat is weak to non existent. Because' you know, people who were fixin to commit major crimes before weren't smoking pot because it was illegal.

Seriously though, I do think legalized drugs would reduce gang related murders over drug sales. But I'm not sure that's the case here.

I think violent prisoners should smoke weed. Will permanently mellow them out. High strung gang members are drawn to weed - mellows them out. I grew up in T-town, so I know what is best for prisoners and gang members.

I'm for legalizing most drugs, but not meth or crack. Any drug that causes toothlessness is probably a bad idea.

All drugs are "a bad idea" and all should be legal.
