...violent drug problems in inner cities thc451: so you think there's that many Americans that are out buying marijuana because they need it medically and are being denied that it's contributing to the drug trade problems in the inner cities?I wasn't really asking about what causes 'more' violence, merely does the weekend use of illegal drugs of the upper class and upper middle class, by proxy, contribute to a little black girl being shot by crossfire during a drug gangfare war?Anti-murder laws must contribute to all the murders in our society rather than the murderers themselves. Thanks for informing me.

i think that alcohol would be causing more violence than the other drugs. the main time that druggies commit crimes is just to pay there drug debts.
