Legaliseing hash/weed did alot of good.

Its the most sold illegal drug, so it represents the biggest income for all those drug pushers.
You remove that, and you end up with less pushers in general.

Also by haveing "legal" places people can buy it, you dont have people pushing people to try the next harder drug.
You end up with less people takeing much much more serious and worse drugs.

Also by legaliseing hash, you have a controlled enviroment.
You wont have synthetic drugs, that give people psycosis and drive them mad.

Theres alot of money in this, by the state allowing it to be sold, they have nice big source of income, that isnt going to go to some shady place.

The probelm is, those dealers and cartells are not going to decide to just retire if Pot is legalized-   The profit margins are much higher re harder drugs and  harder drugs are much smaller/lighter per $ tha pot-    So you will just have a lot more dealers pushing other harder drugs -
