If you're pretty sure the whole thing is a massive mental health crisis then you should have stronger evidence than just the number of states and your expectations of a resulting crisis. This happened quite some time ago in a lot of these places, where is the crisis?
One consideration is that an awful lot of the people who are inclined to smoke weed were smoking it anyway when it was illegal. Prohibition was never particularly effective at preventing anyone from smoking it.

"I think everyone who smokes weed is schizophrenic..."
Saying something absolute like that automatically destroyed your argument.
It is also ironic that the statement sounds like something a schizophrenic would say.

It was the drinkin' that made me crazy, son, not the smoking weed thang.
Probably not a big deal to most of you, but I finally got my doc to approve me for MMJ. 
It's still not legal in NJ, but I'll be getting my card soon.

They've got everyone in their pocket, there's allegations the last president (Enrique Peña Nieto) received a bribe from el Chapo. Not super unbelievable.
That being said, I think because of legalization in the US, most of their profits will start coming from meth and fentanyl.

Virginia is decriminalizing it, not legalizing. They are "studying" legalization at the end of the year.
The reason it becomes in possession of gangs is because it's a commodity and a black market item. That's the only reason the 2 have a strong link. Smuggling and peddling.
Legalization actually strips a great deal of power away from gangs. It forces them to focus on harder black market drugs and there's just less of a market for them.
Now any drug effects your judgement. Being stoned off your ass absolutely effects your decision making. But these people are in serious unstable often traumatizing environments and are already mentally unsound.
It's not the pot it's that their lives are just kinda shitty. The pot might exasperate or reveal symptoms but it isn't the catalyst.

To be clear, I am entirely in favor of legal weed. I'm in favor of legal anything, what you choose to put in your body is your own business.
That said a lot of people downplay the risks of weed and tout benefits that are unproven or not real at all.
CBD probably does have some beneficial effects in regards to cancer, that doesn't mean it cures cancer. THC helps a lot of folks relax, it makes others more anxious. Smoking is not good for your lungs and THC absolutely can be a catalyst for schizophrenia. People that get stoned all the time tend to eat in unhealthy ways and many of them have a very hard time getting anything accomplished because they are unfocused and unmotivated.
I think weed is considerably safer than alcohol, and I am certainly not against folks getting drunk, stoned, or whatever. However the idea that weed is not harmful at all is foolish.
Resin and tar are two different words for the same class of chemical compounds, they are literally the same thing.
