Since domestic Murder rates were said to falling until about the 6th year of the Obama regime, the laws against pot really can’t be blamed for domestic murder rate spikes. As for murder rates in drug Cartel nations such as Mexico...the trends are always up!

Have to admit...homicide rate is higher during prohibition...what about violent crime in general? And, abuse?
