"In addition, there is a strong link between drug use and unsafe sex and the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS."

Why do they switch from talking about "marijuana" to talking about "drug use"? They're trying to equate marijuana with all the other drugs, as if all the illegal (that is to say, untaxed) drugs can all be lumped into a single category called "drugs (the bad kind)", and use of drugs (the bad kind) can be linked to AIDS.

Well, duh. Heroin users often share unsanitary needles because their habit is illegal, and AIDS gets spread that way. Everybody knows that. But what the fuck does that have to do with marijuana? Nothing. And would marijuana be linked to dangerous activities if the market wasn't controlled by outlaws? Probably not.
