Sure it might not change much if you legalize it, but you can never really say unless you actually go about and do it. Either way, people are going to try and down vote it because it has negative effects on their neighbor hoods. And people will always argue "Theres nothing wrong with weed, it doesn't kill anyone." Sure it doesn't directly kill anyone, but indirectly it does. Legalizing it wouldn't have a sudden change of murders dropping by like 60% in a week. Maybe in like 10-15 years it'll drop by 20%. My point (which seems kind of lost because I type most of this stuff when im half asleep) drugs and crime seem to come in pairs, but maybe your right, maybe legalizing it would remove one of these sets from the pair. All and all these are just theories until proven.
