More precisely: cities like Detroit and Chicago are paying the price for America having even waged the inherently unwinnable War on Poverty and War on Drugs - which fostered dependency (WoP), and hyperinflated drug profits and channeled those profits into criminal hands (WoD).

Bull$hit! Make drugs legal and the dysfunctional idiots in Detoilet will find something else to kill each-other over.

Show me where I said legalization would end killing. What it will end is the hyperinflation of drug profits and channeling of those profits into criminal hands. I support taking resources away from criminals - maybe you feel differently.

All making drugs legal is make them legal.

Every single dime in the criminals pockets will still be there along with all the crime. They will just do something else to get money without working.

Legal drugs solves nothing and would likely just cost taxpayers more.
