19. Most murers are alcohol related, actually
And are usually domestic.

The problem with hard drugs (crack, meth, sherm, heroin) is that they're bad for the user -- they DESTROY families, children, and whole communities.

Most murders are not drug-related, but most street level crime is. Legalizing it won't help solve that problem, nor will our insane "war on drugs." Only a controlled decriminaliztion, with active law enforcement and mandatory rehabilitation, can come close to helping prevent the destruction wrought by both drugs and our "war" on them.
