Drugs merely alleviate some of the pain from unpleasant truths. Lies hide the truth, and hide the unpleasant consequences of the truth for a while. Hence, the War Against Reality waged by those on the business end of the War On Drugs. We don't need any more studies. What fuels the drug war is lies not studies.
Studies are a hindrance.

Yet, in all the studies archived on the National Criminal Justice Reference Service web site, none suggests a link between drugs and crime.
