I doubt any drug-related violence reduction would be related to pot. Marijuana is not crack. People do not get addicted in one join, nor rob liquor stores to get that next hit.

I'd also say that pot, if legal, should be grown here, not by Mexican drug cartels getting rewarded for years of violence. Push them out of the market with locally-grown weed as a punishment.

Full agreement.

Has Cali seen a decrease in drug related violence since legalizing pot? If the evidence is out there I'm willing to concider it. So far all I've seen are arguments based on logic.

It's not exactly that legalized. The rules for it's use and sale are very specific, and they still have issues with being hassled by "the man."
