Criminalizing something that is not a crime still makes real criminals. Decriminalizing marijuana will get rid of all of the real criminals it has created.

If cannabis were sold from a legitimate business that didn't have to risk punishment to purchase, stock, or sell the herb, purchasing weed would be safer. People actually kill other people because of bad deals (whether someone was shorted, money was stolen, or any other reason). If weed were legal, this would no longer happen.
