Cops: Legalize Drugs to Save Our Lives

[quazz369]

i dont know why we want to make mexican drug lords rich wake up america if we legalize drugs we bring all that money back to the U.S.

[augsauce]

2:50 Alcohol and cigarettes are a gateway too are they not?

[MrHopkinsproductions]

hey nobody vote for obama.everyone elect ron john

[MHPSpokane]

There is no such thing as a "good" cop, only bad cops ex cops and dead cops. The job no longer attracts people of good character. Good people don't want to be associated with the thug reputation that police seem to be so proud of. They're NOT here to make the world any better for you and I. They exist only to make a pile of money protecting their masters FROM us.

[mds123able]

@MHPSpokane So, this makes no logical sense. No group is 100 percent 1 way or the other. There are people who want to protect and don't have such a curropt motive to be a cop. Not everyone sees most or all cops as the vilians. Thought I garante they would agree that the bad ones are really bad. But, in truth I have my probs with police, but I have a bigger prob with the drug war. Any enemy of drug prohibition is a friend of mine. I'm going to be strategic.

[mds123able]

@MHPSpokane If there is an organization made of law enforcement willing to end oppression by ending the war on drugs by legalizing all drugs, thus ending the targeting of drug users by law enforcement, so drug users can stop having their civil freedoms and human rights from being violated, then I, as a defender of human rights, will join with LEAP, the NAACP, and other groups to ending insanity. You can be angry and not help your situation by not be logical and strategic.

[mds123able]

@MHPSpokane I hope you start to see where it's counter productive to go against a group who is more likely to change the minds of proponents of the drug war who have the false impression that drug users are violent criminals by nature. Think about it, if there was a person who thinks that its a fact that drug users are a threat and must be locked up, don't you think a cop saying "legalize all drugs, these guys aren't a threat 2 u or me" will begin to open their eyes up to the truth.

[mds123able]

@MHPSpokane be strategic and logical, it's in your best interest to support LEAP. Now this is coming from someone who a year ago or to would say fuck the police completely. You could say I see the Federal war on drugs, to benifit buisness and U.S. empirial interest, as a greater evil to police. I would say I see people as people. No one regardless of their label is exactly like everyone else who shares their label. That's a fact.

[WiiLink89]

@Contressa you don't have to be a dick

[Contressa]

well, at least one good things comming from this drug war, dead bitch cops.

[ChristianWorldOrder2]

sorry typo error keep it illegal 

[ChristianWorldOrder2]

when cops say it is time to legalize drugs they should have the final say in the situation not the government people want to know why the government keeps it legal well follow the money and you will understand but lives being saved is more important than money

[MERCEDESO2]

@ChristianWorldOrder2 Amen! btw, Thanks for sharing. Much respect~

Drugs are everywhere.

[srsp0]

The people who are most affected by the drug war are civilians in mexico. 80% of the drug crime is based around marijuana. Gangs are violent and aggressive toward families who somehow get involved in the crime. If marijuana was legalized mexico would be a much safer place

[sparkloweb]

Marijuana isn't a gateway to other drugs, but it IS a gateway to the criminal world (which exposes people to other drugs), and that a direct consequence of prohibition. Moreover, the war on drugs has caused people to distrust police and avoid communicating with them, which makes it harder to catch real criminals.

[777aleon]

@sparkloweb I don't think that people distrust police due to the war on drugs as much as they distrust due to the brutality. With drugs, you play, you may pay... but that's seemingly taking a back burner to other issues. Ever been roughed up or beaten/tazed for little to no reason?

You'll never think of an officer the same. or get taken to jail over what would be an arbitrary decision based on personal choice?

... Not trying to be senseless, just saying ...

[JooblyJooblyIsCool]

I started smoking pot first, the only reason why Ive ever done any other drug is because I was invited.

[69salford69]

"...It's the corner-slinger who terrifies neighbours and invites rivals to attack..."

= In other words; corner-slingers are making too much money. The obvious reason this is on MSNBC is so they can corner the market on Cannabis.

They will grow it Corporate-style, with huge football-field size grows, and make it illegal to get weed from anywhere else.

[fuckedupcupcake]

@69salford69 and if they legalize it, the government will tax it to shit and overprice it

[69salford69]

@fuckedupcupcake exactly cupcake

[1UnitedProfessionals]

WE LOVE LEAP!!!

[UDraftDogr4Q]

Gateway Shmateway, I've done coke, shrooms, LSD, cigarettes, alcohol and Marijuana, and can honestly say that Cannabis is by far the least addictive, and harmful of them all. I don't do any other drug because I don't like the effects.

Quitting smoking is the hardest, and I can't stop drinking.

By the way, as far as gateway drugs, that theory is bunk. The first drug I used was tobacco, then alcohol, then LSD, then tried cocaine. I didn't try pot until later on in life and enjoyed it the most.

[40Rtruss]

Let the Government control it, tax it and have set places to use to drug of choice

[newtonmeters]

As a teenager i'll just say that it's easier to get marijuana than alcohol... the argument that drug use will go up is so wrong.

If it was legalized and taxed it puts money in the government's pocket instead of criminals, gets rid of violence and saves wasted tax money on marijuana drug busts.

Nealry 50% of 12th graders in 2007 had smoked pot...the other 50% didn't because they didn't want to...NOT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BUY IT.

Stupid government

[killyoubitch27]

good job cops your right.

[killyoubitch27]

goog job cops your right.

[NoShame86]

Legalize drugs and we can regulate them better. The prohibition period is a good lesson why war on drugs doesn't work.

[BALROGG111]

Yeah, really good idea, legalize drugs and the streets will become full of junkies ready to stab anyone for a $10

[magiccat12]

@BALROGG111

The street is already full of them, only they need $100, so they currently have to stab ten people. Use of the worst drugs like heroin and crack will not go up if they are legalized. I have never met someone who has said that the only reason he doesn't smoke crack is because it's illegal.

[thedirtynasty]

$40,000 annually to keep one "criminal" in prison.

We spend multi billions annually on the war on drugs, half of which go towards cannabis.

We could eliminate every gang in existence if prohibition didn't exist.

A crime without a victim isn't a crime and you need to mind your own fucking business.

[SirWinstonChurchill]

The Democraps have the votes in Congress and their fascist dupe in the White House... Why haven't they just legalized pot?

make cannibus legal.....fuck all those other drugs 

[tatomuck18]

if the drugs are legal, those dealers wouldnt have to worry about getting locked up for having and selling it. Having it illegal and criminalize is a small deterrent to this because they have to risk doing something like selling the stuff or going to jail for years.

If you wanna see those drugs GONE? EXECUTE ALL DRUG DEALERS like in CHINA!

THAT WILL STOP EM QUICK!

[ltdex400guitarist]

@tatomuck18 are you really that stupid or are you a troll. the drug cartel literally have there own army.

[davehutchinson67]

@ltdex400guitarist  I lived in Mexico for 3 years...and your 100% correct. I have stories I won't even share here that would pin your ears back.

[davehutchinson67]

@tatomuck18 Another crazy right wing idea. We put em away for years and for more years..has that helped? You could execute em..that won't change anything. As long as there is demand genius boy there will be supply. That is a universal law.

[revdraco]

These are the people who want to continue Prohibition - Police (who make money from Prohibition), the Courts (who make money from Prohibition), the Prison/Industrial Complex (who make money from Prohibition), the court-mandated "rehab" programs (who make money from Prohibition), and the Gangs & Cartels (who make money from Prohibition). Are we seeing a pattern here?

[The3rdPlateau]

@revdraco it's a scanner darkly on steroids!

[fudge1monkey]

if you give criminals a means to make money, they will, if you take away their market, drugs, then they will fuck off. i want me some fucking drugs.

[sadhouse]

See Dean Becker , Drug Truth Network Cultural Baggage and LEAP . First met Dean in '67 by 1969 we had a communal type house , we harmed nobody , even held open house for neighbors but only narc''s showed up ,it was our attempt to show that we were harmless .We had been raided countless times~they would raid us usually in the middle of night,always drawing blood~beat , bludgeoned and terrorized for what ?Our home called The Sadhouse , Nice to see Dean still fighting for Justice with brave Cops

[Scorpitarios]

"Is it time to legalize drugs?" well, it's long overdue!

[BRUMARTUBE]

@Scorpitarios You are so right. The real question is: how is it that something like prohibition has ever been possible?

I think it is just a tool by gangsters to generate opaque economies and corrupt and pervert democracies.

[ShaktipatSeer]

bang on the money .. great argument

[SpringChatty]

also what about drug screening for jobs, and other laws about intoxication while on the job, or in public, etc...how many other laws would changed and would a trial city give lawmakers an answer to the issues.................. ? (yes public is very weary, with good cause but I know very few people who don't do them, even though I can't and would it slow down the violence and killings ? )

[SpringChatty]

I wonder if it would help or make it worse? What would happened to charges for being intoxicated while driving, etc...? So many people I know do them that who knows what the answer is?

[803honda]

I dont know if things like cocaine and heroine should be legal. They are deadly and easy to overdose on. Then again its not the goverments job to protect me from myself. If I want to kill myself with some stupid drugs maby I should have the liberty to do so.

I do know that marijuana kills noone while marijuana prohibition causes countless violence and death. I dont know about the dangerous stuff but marijuana should definately be legal. otherwise we need to ban alcahol which is very dangerous.

[atraldreams]

uhm, but prohibition doesn't work. i can see history repeating itself. i won't do "hard drugs" but if you think for a little bit.. it won't stop an addict from being addicted just because you put him in a cage.

[LeftyAintright]

I understand your sentiments, Honda. But let me ask you this, who decides where drugs will be sold? Who decides to whom those drugs will be sold? Who decides what purity those drugs will be? Who decides when those drugs will be sold?

Bottom line, right now it's the criminals. If they want to sell a tainted bag of drugs on Sunday, in a church parking lot, to children they will.

Addicts shouldn't have to resort to crime and disease. Legalization will allow us to focus.

[luciferiexcelsil]

"I dont know if things like cocaine and heroine should be legal. They are deadly and easy to overdose on"

not true, you have as much chance of overdosing on Coke and smoked heroin as u have from drinking vodka and getting alcohol poisoning.

[bishopbutter]

@luciferiexcelsil I agree. An argument that LEAP uses for the cause of heroin and cocaine overdoses is that the user is often unaware of the potency of the drug they are purchasing, so they cannot know if one hit will kill them or not.

You can easily find the percentage of alcohol in a beverage right on the bottle. If heroin and cocaine were legalized, regulated, and controlled such as alcohol is, proper labeling could be enforced, and hopefully fewer overdoses will occur.

[davehutchinson67]

@bishopbutter That would sort of be cool....I used to smoke the crack...I can imagine strolling through the pharmacy...hmmm...good shit today or just the regular...lol...dangerous drug kiddies..knocked this guy on his ass but good. Still fighting the cravings on some days. I wish drugs would have been legal....I never really was into alcohol becoz I wasn't doing anything "secret" or against the law..like kids like to do...That was pretty much the reason for my 30 years of cocaine addiction

[jesamani75]

there´s a big beaurocracy that will never permit the legalization,the cia,dea,fbi,penitentiary system,etc.,and of course the mob bosses.

[legalizeganjanow420]

@jesamani75

that's the great thing about america, when something comes to vote everyone can use their voice to change things. big business doesn't want you to know that but we as a people combined are a much more stronger force than any army, any beurocracy, and agency. that's why they work so hard to keep us split up, right down to the charade of republicans vs democrats. it's all a big show to keep the american public under control. rise up stand up work together we can get what we want.

[edryan098]

marijuana is a gateway drug to jail. The law hurts the pot smokers and not the pot hurting the pot smokers.

[vedasisme]

If the Fed was smart, they legalize drugs and then subsidize the hell out of it. It'll make great money, and if you really want to, you can teach people to use responsibly more easily. Alcohol and tobacco are just as dangerous as some other drugs.

[clustro]

An idea worth trying would be to tax drugs at a level that would solve the social security crisis, border patrol/immgration enforcement efforts, or provide national health care.

[frizzzzzzal]

Ethically I want to beat the shit out of Niel Franklin, but politically I love him.

[Shakyleg13]

I agree with these guys for a couple of reasons. #1 reduction in crime.#2 drug companies would be able to reduce prices of medicines while still making a profit from harder drugs.#3 farmers would be able to use marijuana as a rotating crop for corn to help replenish the soil of minerals used up by corn and still have a cash crop that has multiple uses. #4 instead of using corn as a biofuel hemp(Henry Ford made a Model A entirely from hemp and it ran off of fuel made from hemp).

[iowneveryone30]

LEGALIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madichelp0]

Legalize it, have better education in the effects of drug use and help those who need help with drug problems...

[HrapovikPlush]

IMO, all drugs should be lagalized, but should be treated like tobacco and alcohol -- illegal to use under 21.

[kjhvhgd]

yes legalize it

[surlagachette2]

"the people most impacted are police officers"

Such utter bullshit

[arielrebelfan1]

pot is not going to be leagal because pot opens your mind and the last thing the government wants is people realizing how full of shit the goverment really is

[PolskaXD93]

Marijuana must be made legal! In fact, all drugs should be legalized! the politicians that support the prohibition on drugs support organized crime! If we would legalize drugs, sure it wouldn't make everything perfect, but gangs would lose a massif income! The other problem is the big companies that make paper, clothing etc, because in fact hemp is alot more resistant than cotton. Its fiber also makes 4 times more paper than wood fiber and it grow in a matter of months, not years.. LEGALIZE! =)

[mullsen]

Right. But don't forget the Banks making Billions of Dollars from washing drug money.. They don't want to lose that..

[GunOwnerDan]

Proof prohibition has FAILED:

Marijuana has already been illegal for over 70 years yet today it is America's #1 cash crop. It's easier to get than ever before while drug gangs and cartels are richer and more powerful than ever before!

[t666pax]

Instead of a war on poverty they've got a war on drugs so the police can bother me... Tupac said

[ssmooerr]

I'd say legalize cannabis and see how it goes, and continue to have stuff like heroin, lsd, crystal etc illegal.

Cause the majority of the "drug war" is caused by cannabis, and ppl get to try out heroin, lsd crystal and such THROUGH the guy they buy canabis from, without that middleperson many many ppl would never have come in contact with the heavy drugs.

[alistairproductions]

yeah and maybe the cocaine user would have wanted coke had he not had coffee and maybe he wouldnt have wanted coffe had he not had tea, maybe he wouldnt have wanted tea if he didnt have water. the gateway drug hypothesis is irrelevant

[CannabisCorporation]

@alistairproductions

I like your style

[MissippiHippy]

In 1999 the Institute of Medicine debunked the gateway theory as has many studies since, including a recent 2006 study at the University of Pittsburgh, which found that teens who used marijuana prior to using other drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, were no more likely to develop a substance abuse disorder than other subjects in the study.

[woodrowpimp]

All the LEAP videos are good viewings. I am 100% agreeing with everything they say. It makes sense. It would work. Just like alcohol prohibition....it would work. LEGALIZE!

[cdltpx]

Herb was fraduently illegalized as a dangerous drug to control the immigrant's they are here to work and rather smoke but since they can't get herb they drink and another american family is ruined bc jerks will not pay righteously for their McMansions. I say let them smoke. All they want todo is get high and get to work on time in the AM like they always do unless they smashed into another family and are encarcerated for vehicular manslaughter. There are many dead over this bunk law. End prohibi

[royer004]

Does anyone else realize that he said "...a lot of the LOWER level drugs like marijuana..." (2:40) when Federal Law has Marijuana under a Schedule 1 drug along with Heroin, PCP, and Methampetamine (the HIGHEST schedule for a drug)? PEOPLE, JOIN TOGETHER AND RISE UP! LET'S START A REVOLUTION!

[SiCoFgOvErNmEnT]

5/5 stars!!

For the people against legalizing drugs, you need to look at alcohol prohibition and realize this is nothing different. Yes, more people may partake in these actives if they were legalized, but only for a little while. Look at European stats, that's what they show. It's cool at first, people get over it, and we need to educate, educate, educate, that's how you get through to people. Don't hold them back with a life time conviction, because that's what ends up happening!

Maryland really needs to get its shit together. We are a Medical Marijuana state (just like California) but we have no system to make it readily, and safely, available.

[BipolarStoner420]

Its hard for me not to immediately hate all police for the terrorism Ive endured because of the injustice of prohibition. If all cops were like these cops then I'd feel safer and I wouldn't have a fear induced prejudice against them. Cops wouldn't have to be hated anymore. Imagine that.  Weed needs to be legal so the good guys can be good again. I don't care what law exists about other drugs, I don't think much organized crime could exist if weed was out of the picture.

[MMMMM5555512345]

The cartels and dealers depend on the laws we choose to keep in place in order to exist. Let's fire them and get to the realities of illegal drugs, the biggest reality being, alcohol is more dangerous than anything.

Prohibition only makes everything worse. The only benefit is that drugs are driven out of sight, but the price of this small comfort is huge.

These guys are brave and I'm glad they're out there now. I admire them all. I'm a criminal justice student and so far in my classes dealing with the major I haven't had any classmates who are for the current situation and they think pot should be legalized. Don't forget our prisons and what happens there and the continuations. As far as gate-way drugs people are going to use their own common sense.

[123JDB789]

"dealing creates an eniornment where disputes about money and respect are settled with guns."

Take out the money equasion - Allow them to grow their own!! No money changes hands and you don't need the guy on the corner. Ta Da!

Legalize pot, offer it for sale, tax it, and use the revenue for health care and treating the really sick screwed up puppies like crack-heads and other such junkies.

I need a TWINKIE FIX !!!

[mlkkkkkkk]

Since drugs are not mentioned ANYWHERE in the constitution, That makes it the responsibilty of the state.

In this case Federal law is irrelevant. and unconstitutional.

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Legalisation is not the answer

Decriminilisation and proper control is the answer take the control out of the criminal money makers hands and

just give it to those who want it

[LibertyDude]

Decriminalization provides for NO control of the supply chain, keeping it in the hands of criminals and sustaining the black market, which also keeps the price high.

Legalization allows for regulation of the supply chain as we have for alcohol today. This promotes competion which reduces price, so addicts do not need to rob and steam to support their habit.

As an example, when was the last time someone had to committ crimes to afford a beer?

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Criminals still sell tobacco at a lower price than legitamate sources.

Crimes surround the use and sale of alcohol.

does it really become immune from criminal activity because its legal? No I think not. Marajuana is decriminalised and regulated in Holland not legal and this works fine but there is a problem with other drugs and street crime

[LibertyDude]

>Theres a black market for tobacco.

True, but the black market exists *only* because of the high taxes that imposed by some states. The criminals profit from the difference in tax rates between where they buy and sell. Leveling tax rates would eliminate this black market entirely.

The black market for cigarettes is also comparatively small and essentially harmless, generating insufficient profit to incite wars between the various participants.

Continued

[LibertyDude]

>Crimes surround the sale of alcohol.

The only crime I can think of associated with the *sale* of alcohol is sale to underage customers.

This is a very small problem because liquor store owners risk the loss of their very expensive license when they get caught. And getting caught is pretty easy because alcohol is legal and thus can be regulated the cops know where to find the sellers, and sting operations are safe and cheap.

Continued

[LibertyDude]

>Crimes surround the use of alcohol.

The crimes which surround the *use* of alcohol are behavioral crimes, caused by the nature of alcohol. This is why alcohol is a much more dangerous drug than most of those that are currently illegal.

When alcohol was prohibited, use didnt drop much and we were still plagued with the behavior issues. But prohibition did away with the regulation of sales, leaving that to the criminals.

Continued

[LibertyDude]

Since criminals had no legal way of resolving conflict, they turned to violence, killing each other (and innocent bystanders) in droves. And since all sales were illegal it was no more risky to sell to children that to adults; as a result underage use increased. Additionally, there was no incentive to control the quality or safety of the product if you were blinded, paralyzed or killed by the booze, as many were, what recourse did you have?

Continued

[LibertyDude]

> Marijuana is decriminalized and regulated in Holland

Holland has not decriminalized marijuana it is still illegal, as are the coffee shops where it is sold. Hollands approach has been to ignore the situation which has led to problems.

The problem with decrim is that, while small amounts are legal for personal use, production and sales remain illegal (if they werent, how would decrim differ from legalization?).

Continued

[LibertyDude]

Drug prohibition has led to the same problems as alcohol prohibition, but on a much larger scale. Prohibition makes drugs much more profitable than alcohol, and it is nearly world-wide.

The scope of drug prohibition has resulted in international drug cartels with immense amounts of money and power they buy cops and judges and politicians and weapons and vehicles and planes and vessels including submarines.

Decriminalization does nothing to solve this problem.

[savedbytheShroom]

it's true that Holland have problems with other drugs like heroin and cocaine, because they are still illegal there. stopping the prohibition won't give you instant heaven on earth, but it will stop a lot of suffering and is a big step in the direction of a more just and caring society.

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Let them eat cake then yeah? Problem solved. I think that drugs should be legal and free.

I just don't agree with the wider picture and the structure of society as a whole. Drugs are not the problem the reasons they are used is, and the cause of these reasons....?

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Thats real cleaver

did you think that up for yourself,

or did you just drink a beer and

thought you'd be funny

[MSNBCFAN]

That is the issue... people would rather allow assholes to buy, sell, and use drugs and allow innocent to be harmed. I myself have been a victim of drug users... a drugged up nigger kicked my down in at 7:40 in the morning and I had to fight him out of the house and luckily he did not have a weapon!!!! Drugs do not kick the door in and have the intent to harm but users do. Get rid of the user and no one will buy, sell, or use drugs... problem solved!!!!

[LittlePinky82]

People are always going to be using drugs. Making it legal will help keep people in the light and not have to hide and do crazy shit.

[MSNBCFAN]

First, I understand your viewpoint... but that is not how things happen in the streets (Where drug usage and distribution happens...). The only positive for people using drugs are that their chances of dieing go through the roof and this helps to clean the morons and the weak from the gene pool. I happen to be someone who is surrounded by drug users and dealers and so the sooner they are removed from my area of the Earth (aka they die) the sooner I and my family are safe. Period... end of story.

[MSNBCFAN]

Also,I understand that the jails are filling up with people who get caught with a little weed but those same people who other people (families & such) want to protect so much would rather allow them to more easily acquire the thing that they are obviously hooked on (Not like hooked on watching a tv show but hooked on as in using your paycheck on drugs rather than feed your family and then cry for the gov. to help). This is a foolish idea that will fail but shit like this is what makes life,life.

[LibertyDude]

Your use of the N-word shows a lack of character. Enough said on that.

Why do you think he kicked down your door? Was he perhaps looking for cash to feed his habit?

The only reason drugs are expensive (and addicts need so much cash) is because of prohibition, which artifically inflates the price of drugs by a large factor. If an addict could purchase drugs for what they were worth, he woud not need to commit crimes to support his habit.

[jeditesgirl1]

These cops are right. People just want to be left alone and get high. Just legalize it already and put the police on matters that really need help like rape and murder and other big crimes. We waist so much money and man power, and lives, by trying to fight "The War on Drugs." Legalize!!!!!

[SirWinstonChurchill]

@jeditesgirl1

Just like they have done with other agricultural products, companies like Monsanto or ADM will fund the research for mapping of genomes, patent them and then sue other farmers for damages... Genetic splicing will have deleterious affects on honey bees (sudden hive collapse disorder) and other crops. Couple that with this "regulation," it gives pharmaceutical companies a virtual monopoly on medical marijuana.

Erase the marijuana laws, don't make new regulations and taxes...

[tatomuck18]

so you want METH, CRACK, HEROINE and all kids of DEADLY drugs, that ruin lives and kill its users legal?

Your kidding? You want your local 7-11 to have crackpipes crack for sale and heroin addicts sticking needings in public? You want more crazy white trash fucked up on METH to keep smoking it? Is that what you want? Why should they be legal? Dont you realize the damage it does?

@tatomuck18 no one is saying have crack or heroin at the 7-11...another alarmist right winger no doubt. These are cops with YEARS on the job in Baltimore MD, my hometown...let me tell you..it is not a joke..The dealers are very heavy and serious. THEY DON"T PLAY. Simply put, regulate, tax and let's start making sense of this.

@davehutchinson67

"Regulate" means that only certain people who pay off the politicians will be allowed to sell it... "Tax" means more money for more regulators...

You are willing to feed the police state even more?

How about just getting out a big eraser and simply rubbing out all the laws on marijuana?

Noooo, you want your nanny state telling everyone what kind, how much and who is allowed to have it for sale... It should be something you can freely cover your whole yard with...

@tatomuck18 Actually all of those drugs where decriminalized in Portugal. Yes Meth, Crack, Heroine, and the lesser of all of them (Including many legal substances) Weed.

Studies show, and is repeated in a Time Article (Google if you'd like) that the uses of Drugs in general has dropped. That old ghettos where people would go to get drugs have become more of a community and town and began to become a less dangerous place.

You want to protect everyone? remove guns, sharp corners, cars too.
