The numbers I used went to 2019 which was before cities decided to not enforce laws, so no. And it was a short journey from "legalizing marijuana lowers crime rates" to "those increases in crime rates haven't been proven to be connected to marijuana being legalized. it's been debooonked!"
Yes it has, weed is not magic, weed does not make you less violent, making it legal did not make the drug dealers toss up their hands and quit selling it because a store opened up to also sell it, because they sell more than just weed. Weed is just as addictive as cigarettes and smoking anything is damaging to your lung. Cheap and easy access to drugs is just an excuse for people to let out their inner addict and addicts are violent idiots.
Weed is not as addictive as cigarettes. That's a proven fact.
And nothing else you said has anything to do with legalizing weed. Drug dealers who sell more than weed will keep selling those other drugs? Nothing to do with legalizing weed.
Addicts are violent idiots? Nothing to do with legalizing weed.
weed does not make you less violent

People who smoke weed aren't running wild assaulting people or anything like that lol wtf are you even talking about??
Violent crime is up in almost every major metropolitan area in the country. Claiming that has anything to do with legalizing weed is ridiculous.

You still haven't answers my question. Are you saying that legalizing weed led to an increase in crime?

Maybe. There's more support for it increasing crime than for it lowering crime (excluding the crime that was reduced by making it not crime).
