Actually, no. There are plenty who use product that has not been dealt by anyone who has committed murder, nor has any cartel had their hands on it. The best weed is USA grown, not from Mexico.
Also, blame for any murders involved in the illegal drug trade can be laid partly on the US government, who continues to enforce prohibition regarding some drugs -- just like during prohibition of alcohol, murders were more common than directly before or after with lots of gang activity.
End the War on Some Drug Users, replaced with sane, health-based drug policy, and problems with drug gangs dry up and go away. Just like issues with gangs and alcohol did with the repeal of alcohol prohibition.
