Prohibition and the black market that it creates do those things. Marijuana has never killed anyone. People kill themselves with alcohol and other dangerous drugs, but people are no longer shooting each other over alcohol sales territory since we made it legal, destroying the black market, and people aren't dieing from poorly-made bathtub gin since we made it legal and began regulating it.
I agree strongly with your statements about scope of searches and thank you for taking the time to add to the discussion.
