If you are interested in constructive discussion, it really doesn't help to just change commonly understood terminology without calling it out explicitly. The selling of drugs is considered a non-violent crime, regardless of how you feel about it.

It is of course an eminently reasonable thing to contend that some non-violent crime can have as much or more on the lives on its victims than violent crime. That's a different conversation though, than "we should change the classification of this act".
