A study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University confirms what many criminologists have long known: alcohol is associated with more violent crime than any illegal drug, including crack, cocaine, and heroin. Twenty-one percent of violent felons in state prisons committed their crimes while under the influence of alcohol alone. Only 3% were high on crack or powder cocaine alone and only 1% were using heroin alone.

Pot doesn't even make a blip on the violent criminal radar screen.

Uh pot does make a large blip on the drug culture screen, though.

Oh that's right that can be "explained" away with such blast fax idioms such as, "Well all criminals drank milk, so there", never mind, it is useless trying to talk to the pot fixated, IMO.
