That type of logic can be used for any sort of "criminal activity" one wishes to engage in (or has associates who do) - basically, an over-reaction.

Your quote divides the domain into two groups when one can easily add the third essentially link in the chain of violence: the smugglers/dealers/producers. They make the entire scenario into a violent one as they're the ones fighting over the money and power.

Legalization is a good goal but do remember that the real crime is really done by criminals, not nice people. Both the enforcers and the users are, in a way, the victims here:   the users because they're Elephant | [mastadon] ed by everyone and the enforcers because they never know if that kid with a join has another 30 lids on him to sell and a gun to back it up.
