No, there is no correlation to internal combustion engines... pick the felony of your choice. However, pot, alcolonism, heroin addiction can directly relate to rape, theft & murder [I’m originally from Detroit]

If you meant a correlation to commission of felonies it might have been better to say that than saying we need to have federal laws against "behaving in a manner that negatively affects the quality of life of others". When my neighbor mows his lawn while I'm listening to my stereo it negatively affects my quality of life.

As to whether there should actually be a prohibition on marijuana due to it correlating to felonies, I'd argue that the prohibition leads to more serious crime than does marijuana itself.

Alcohol prohibition is what led to the huge increase in organized crime in the early 20th century. Murders as the gangs fought over their share of the enormous profits now possible. Buying of police, judges, and politicians.

The same situation has resulted from the prohibition of marijuana. If it was legal to buy, sell, and grow in the US, we wouldn't have a narco state on our southern border and we wouldn't have illegal grow operations in our national parks and national forests. Because of the profits, there is undoubtedly more corruption in the US. And who can really blame the people being corrupted? If somebody offers to either pay you in silver or lead, either look the other way while we commit our crimes or don't, most people would choose the silver if they believe the threat of the lead to be real. Take away the profit incentive of the smuggling or illegal grow operations (whether on public land or private) and you not only stop the smuggling but stop the corrupting of government employees becoming complicit in the crime.

YES, LET THE THUGS TAKE EACH OTHER OUT ALONG WITH CORRUPT POLITICIANS

PROSECUTE. We have more than enough attorneys

NO, YOU WANT TO ALLOW WHAT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION & GANGSTERS THAT REFUSE TO HONOR AND OBEY THE RULE OF LAW? THEN, YOU NO LONGER HAVE A GOVERNMENT UNDER THE RULE OF LAWS BUT RATHER ABJECT CORRUPTION, DEBAUCHERY AND DEGENERACY. CONCEPTUAL COROLLARY: I DON’T WANT THERE TO BE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT SO I REJECT THE CONCEPT OF HELL.
