Pot is also peddled on the streets. It's basically the starter kit for drug hustlers my out of touch friend.

Before you say I'm wrong perhaps you'd like to visit urban areas and ask the guys on the street corner what drug they started selling before they got into selling the harder shit. Also they will tell you that they started off smokin pot then got into things like crack. So yes, pot leads to harder shit. Selling pot is what rookie drug dealers sell to get their feet wet before selling crack and heroine. Younger kids in the inner city also sell pot for the big time hustlers for quick cash too. I know what I'm talking about because unlike 90% of the people who push for widespread ligalization of pot I've actually seen first hand what drugs of any kind can do to a community and it's people. Notice how its mostly old white burnouts and their suburbanized offspring that always bring up the pot legalization argument. Inner city folks don't want that shit to happen because it would cause even more damage and it would basically make it easier for young teens to push that shit. See legal pot means more wiggle room for dealers because the cops would have no authority to squeeze them because it would be legal to carry the stuff so dealers would have more supply to sell and ship out. That causes more money being made and more lives being lost because of the dirty deeds that come along with selling drugs. Just because pot would be legal wouldn't erase drug dealers from existance. It would enhance them because they would basically have free will to sell it without being hassled by the law.

Let me give you an example:

Guns aren't illegal

But that doesn't stop people from selling guns on the street ok?

If pot was legal that wouldn't stop drug dealers from selling it

It would actually increase the amount of drug dealers because it would be easier to get and they would turn it for profit.
