"The problem seems to be that they aren’t. Weed is being stolen. Big surprise."

I said that a very long time ago. Legalizing it wouldn't lower crime, because people would still rob to get what they don't want to have to pay for. Marijuana is not a "victimless crime." It never was.

Everything gets stolen in NYC.

Every State has a different scheme of legalization. Some are worse than others. NY would benefit from shooting a number of thieves.

So you are also against legalizing automobiles - because people would still steal cars they don't want to have to pay for? I guess that the same would also apply to cigars, espresso, or Tic-Tacs.

That's your logic.

Marijuana [Cultivation?! Possession?! Consumption?! Please be specific!] is not a "victimless crime."

That bold assertion came out of nowhere - i.e., it is a non sequitur (= "logical fallacy").

Take CA, for instance.

Mexican cartels and Chinese Triads have huge grow operations, all over the state.

Illegal weed production and sales have skyrocketed.

Just need to undercut the very high "legal" price.
