Yeah, my apologies. Most days it's closer to 100% in the local police reports.
Would it matter to the argument if the number was only 40%? Would that number be ok with you? How about 60%? It's normal here to see every single police report full of drug related offenses. Sorry if that's not good enough for you. If you're looking for an argument, there's your in, but it doesn't change the drug culture and it's effect on the rest of society.
From 40% to 90% is a huge difference in the degree of the problem and the level of associated intervention, expense, and number of people who we choose to incarcerate as a result. We also need to understand how imposing penalties as it related to drugs changes people behavior in negative ways, such as allowing corruption in government and creating incentives to commit murder.
It's not sufficient to say something is bad, the better question is bad in relation to what alternative, and that requires an accurate assessment of the degree of problem.
