But we don't want to increase the availability, promotion and commercialization that would absolutely come with this idea of legalization.

There's a very complex connection between crime and addiction, because a lot of people are committing crime to either fuel their drug habit, which they're going to do anyway, whether it's legal or not, or under the influence of drugs, which they're going to do more, if it's legal.
