"from that sentence is it fair for me to assume drug related crime will decrease if drugs are legalized and therefore made more available?" That is the logical conclusion. Experience has taught us this is true. You are ignoring the lessons of history. The reason that I pointed to that time is because it was legal, widely available, and the crime rates in this country were lower. Alcohol prohibition also has been pointed to as a time when alcohol was illegal, and 'alcohol related' crime was up, and much of the same disappeared upon repeal. Barb
