Actually your bullshit statistics you used simply to prove your lies prompted me to actually look at crime statistics prior to the introduction of medical marijuana in 1996 in California and post introduction. There has been a consistent decrease in crime every year. So I don’t quite understand your point on crime is increasing due to medical marijuana.
Your argument about some people abusing the system to get their cards and smoke might be true, but these people would just buy from a dealer if it was illegal. Or do you actually think it being “illegal” would stop them from doing something they really want to do? Did it stop people drinking in the prohibition? No, it did not.

And doctors, do see value in marijuana. Are you a doctor? I don’t think you are, so please refrain from giving “doctors” opinions on marijuana. If anything, the problem is that it will be smoked, and that is what is bad for the health, the smoke. Which is why there are methods like vaporizing and eating that are less harmful than smoking.

May I ask where you went to medical school?

Correct. The murder rate in CA has fallen by better than half since 1995. See:

There has also been a substantial decline in the LA murder rate over the last decade or so. See:
