If the USA took the time and money they spend on hunting a practically harmless drug like marijuana they could spend it on things that actually kill people like illegal guns and/or systems that would protect someone from getting 4 crazy guns, full body armor, etc. within a small period of time. Anyone who buys what this guy bought within 6 months time is up to no good 99% of the time.

Where do people get medical marijuana from? The same process could be used to supply everyone else who wanted to buy the drug. The fact that it is illegal gives the drug cartels a market to sell it, since they have access to the stuff, and the byproduct of that is drug crime, gun crime, etc, etc.
If the government regulated the buying and selling of marijuana, that problem would go away, because anyone could grow the stuff if they were approved. As in you wouldn't have to import drugs from Mexico, Colombia or any other South American countries that are prone to bring their violence to North America along with the drugs.
