that could work, but how about "We could cut the murder rate in half overnight, also cut burglaries by druggies searching stuff to sell, if we cancelled the war on drugs, legalized all of them".
eg, see Portugal's experiment.
I've always been for that. Not sure it would stop the robberies though. Have you sen what "legal" pot goes for?
Damn. I used to buy pounds for what ounces cost now.
