Of course. It's so fucking simple. Take cannabis out of the hands of gangs, dealers, cartels, etc, and put it in legit stores and violent crime goes down.

It's not like dispensaries are going to get in a shoot out over turf wars. It's not like a dispensary is going to shoot someone for a deal gone wrong.

People against cannabis legalization either profit from it's illegal status (private prisons, police budgets dedicated to fighting weed, illegal dealers, cartels) or are absolutely retarded.
