There's also what happens when people switch from harder stuff to just weed. Some time in the late 80s early 90s, the cities switched from crack to weed, and crime actually dropped.

I talked about this with a cop associate recently and he said, yeah, that turn of events is actually studied in Criminal Justice textbooks now.
