To those that think legalizing hard drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, will "solve" the crime associated with its use: Think again. Addicts will still be addicts. They will still steal to buy. The only difference is they will be buying from stores instead of dealers. Most of the crime associated with drug use is not violent in this county. These addicts instead steal metal, break into homes, and sell their bodies to get the money to feed the habit. Unless its free, the crime will not stop.
