"so we are proposing putting drug dealers in the unemployment lines, "

No what we are proposing, or at least what I am proposing, is putting them out of business. What happens to them after that is their problem. As far as them committing violent crime, they are already committing violent crime. We’re just helping to keep them doing such with our illogical drug policies.

There is data somewhere, but I can't recall right now that shows after prohibition ended violent crime went down. The same thing would happen if we ended the war on drugs if for no other reason than that police officers could be using their time to apprehend violent offenders as opposed to chasing pot users.
