First, you have to establish that legalization of cannabis increased property crime, violent crime, homelessness, and prison populations.
You have not. Now I'm going to generalize, just like you.
Property crime in California kept on a downward trend after legalization until the pandemic. Violent crime dipped a bit as well.

Here's some info on homelessness in CA:

Jail and prison populations were on their way down before plummeting during the pandemic.

Can I claim cannabis legalization in California actually contributed to lower property crime, violent crime, and reduced jail and prison populations? Sure, but I'd be full of shit without proving that legalization was actually the driving factor behind the decreases.
oh me oh my the bad people are getting high
