And you know the names of those killed after stumbling into marijuana patches?

No, but I can find you newspaper articles if you wish. Can you do the same for people being killed for stumbling into bomb-factories?

I thought drug use was a "victimless crime."

It is, but murder isn't - which is at issue. (They died from being shot, not from doing drugs.) Go peddle your straw man arguments elsewhere.

People who grow and distribute the drug MURDER people. So how can drug use that supports murderers not be a victimless crime?

Drugs do cause victims. My sister's grandchildren are victimized all the time by her druggie son and daughter-in-law.

You are in extreme denial about the reality of what this drug does. It robs one of ambition, and distorts perception, and harms unborn children, as well as harming the care of living children. It also causes reckless behavior that kills and maims other people.

And finally it and other drugs destroy society by decreasing the number of people who remain responsible enough to continue to support the success of that society in maintaining itself.
