2-"Crime and violence, both within the U.S. and at the U.S.-Mexico border, are greatly increased due to illegal selling and buying of marijuana. Legalization would logically end the need for such criminal behavior."

“Lower” (#1) and “decrease” (#3) are explicitly NOT “eliminate.” And #2 is merely one of several paraphrases of others’ alleged arguments - “Primary reasons in support of legalizing marijuana include: [...] Primary reasons against legalizing marijuana include: [...]” - and the one you quote is not sourced in any way.

So far you’re 0 for 3.
