Its not a drug induced crime spree and anyone who thinks it is, is quite ignorant of the facts. Sure our government has something negative to say about every drug, but at the same time I could say something negative about everything that's legal at this point. Cigarettes kill many more people than heroin does, alcohol is responsible for so many drunk driving accidents. Should they be legal? And why are they?
