Walters said. "They're getting the marijuana from some of the same criminal mafias in Mexico that are killing people daily."

And the only reason that criminals are the source of marijuana is that lying filth like John Walters have fought mightily to keep marijuana illegal.

And of course, if we simply legalize pot, all pot-related crime will go away?

No, it won’t.

The reason?

People deal in pot (and all drugs) illegally not because pot is illegal, but because those people are first-and-foremost criminals. They choose crime because of the high-risk:high-profit ratio.

If you legalize pot, guess what. They will still deal pot illegally for the profit. Why? Because they are criminals.

Legalizing drugs will not eliminate drug-related crime. There will always be a black market for cheaper drugs or those that are still illegal.
