There is the Hell's Angels and other biker gangs involved in it now.
It is a social issue, so often we put band-aids on things instead of fixing the root of the problem. It is a lot deeper the legalization. There is social, economic, and most importantly spiritual reasons for it.
Address those issues, and you will be on your way to solving the problem.
