To: Criminal Number 18F
Most people committing property crimes -- the vast majority, 90+% -- are doing it to feed their drugs habit. Your "harmless" street dealer is recruiting and motivating hundreds of burglars, shoplifters, and armed robbers.

That's because criminalizing drugs makes them expensive.

Nooooo, it's because druggies are incapable of honest employment and instead rob, rape, and murder to get their "high." The same would be true under any legalization scheme short of government handouts of unlimited amounts of drugs.
