So how can making something that was illegal, then becomes legal, make the criminal aspects greater than before it was legal??? Look at prohibition. When alcohol became illegal then criminal organizations selling it illegally thrived. People are going to use cannabis whether its illegal or not. When it becomes legal and you can buy it legally if you are over 21 then how in the world is it gonna make criminals more involved in it?????? Where is the profit for them in it?? There are all kinds of legal products out there that can have bad effects on you if used unwisely. They dont have criminal organizations running them. Making something legal and more criminals getting involved just doesnt make sense.
