I'm saying that crime derives from the illegalization of drugs, only if you do not crack down properly on it (ie. on crime).
In other words, when a crime against the public health is not met with an adequate law punishment, and the benefits derived from committing the crime (financial) greatly exceed the losses derived from it (legal).
How many long-term patients have they examined?
Ever seen the characteristical idiot's smile of a long-term cannabis consumer?

Far too many times. It is one of the most abused arguments in favour of legalization.
But again, it is a problem with not cracking down on crime as it should be done.
