So instead of doing something mediocre like selling weed. They are now breaking into your house to steal your 48 inch TV. Or they are stealing your car. Or they are mugging you on the street for your wallet.
By that reasoning the Dutch ought to be living in fear and terror of robbers.
And crime should be spiking in every US state that has semi-legalised it.
I think all that will change is that people will switch from selling illegally to selling it legally. Someone still has to sell it and make money.
Was there a spike in crime after the end of prohibition in the United States? Not that I'm aware of.
