Chew more gum. A person doesn't resort to armed robbery because he uses drugs, he resorts to armed robbery to buy drugs that are very expensive as a result of their illegality. Most murders happen in a very few number of the total counties in the United States. A large percentage of these murders have to do with the illegal drug trade. The conditions that foster this type of ruthless competition (as well as violent armed robberies by crackheads to get money for crack) were created (in this case) by the federal government. It's either disingenuousness or lack of thought that leads someone to blame the consequence on the cause.
