^ I disagree. That theory assumes that the demand for hard drugs would increase. The dealer may switch to dealing harder drugs if weed is legalized, but there may be no one to sell them too. Combining the legalization of weed with more drug education, while continuing the war against drug lords may be very effective. Some drug lords may quit and others would make less money, which would make them considerably easier to fight.
I wouldn't even consider legalizing coke, heroin, e, crystal meth and other hard drugs. The impact those drugs have goes way beyond destroying the person who takes them. Weed on the other hand... well I've seen a hell of a lot more alcohol related violence and death.
