He’s sorta right. It’s the black market nature of this stuff that drives (almost) all the criminality. Both in his country and ours and all the others. If it were legalized and regulated the criminal part would get vastly better. Far better yet to quash the demand side of the equation. Then the whole industry, criminal or legit dries up, but that seems … unlikely … given human nature and our overall society. ---

It’s _exactly_ what the US states are doing with marijuana. And would do far more comprehensively if the Feds would get in board with MJ legalization. ---
