This is untrue. The vast majority of the US drug trade is done without violence.
There’s violence in the powder/pill drug game because the profit margins are so high, creating an immense amount of competition. Sometimes you can 5-10x your money off powder, that isn’t really possible with marijuana or lsd, unless you are the grower or chemist.
There’s very little violence in the marijuana and hallucinogen markets.
