Good! It’s not a real crime like murder or whatever, mind your business!

Because drugs dealers and growers are well known to be law abiding citizens that break no other laws such as trafficking, abduction or murder. Those Mexican cartels are just misunderstood

Obviously, everyone on reddit gets their weed from an ethically sourced eco-hippy.

But that problem would be mostly solved by legalisation wouldn't it?

Yes, there will still be black market weed. There is still blackmarket booze. But mostly it's not the black market. The days of speak easys and Al Capone are over.

It's incredibly rare to come across illegal alcohol.

Legal alcohol is so cheap that the profits on illegal alcohol are virtually non-existent.
