If marijuana is legalized, it will be more widely available than it currently is. The dealers aren't going to simply look for legitimate jobs, but instead will target those groups who aren't able to purchase the newly-legalized drugs: children. Dealers will either buy the legalized marijuana from legal sources and sell it to children at a higher price, or grow/smuggle their own and sell it to children at a higher profit.

Umm again, this is already going on, I mean you're trying to blame legalizing weed for things that are already going and have been for years.
