If pot is legalized and properly sold in stores, few people would ever come into contact with scumbag hard drug pushers on the street.
I can't speak to street dealers but the drug cartels cash cow is marijuana.

Nope. Heroin, cocaine and crystal meth. Not saying that cannabis isn't still a player in the cartel market, but as we relaxed our cannabis laws, they felt the effect.

Because until it's legalized, it's the perfect cash cow.

They have the monopoly on a substance that is so harmless, that plenty of people are happy to buy it.

Ironically, there are many GOP members who get caught up with porn/sex scandals. Perhaps it's that "family values" angle that puts some in the spotlight more than a highlighting a DNC member involved with the same type of scandal.

nah. Even without porn, they would be loser basement dwellers.
Video games exacerbate this more than porn does.

Whereas porn is only watched for minutes at a time until climax, video games are played for half days, whole days, really impeding their social skills and development.

The UK is having an epidemic of stabbings. Whether guns or knives or vehicles or bombs, society has devolved greatly in the last five decades. Why is that?

2 Timothy
Chapter 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

This isn't blaming music or books it is real violence.
