[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2791187, member: 7629"] looks like legalization of pot in Colo is NOT going the way of naysayers ... ========== Since marijuana legalization, highway fatalities in Colorado are at near-historic lows August 5, 2014 Since Colorado voters legalized pot in 2012, prohibition supporters have warned that recreational marijuana will lead to a scourge of drugged drivers on the states roads. ~ It seems to me that the best way to gauge the effect legalization has had on the roadways is to look at what has happened on the roads since legalization took effect. Heres a month-by-month comparison of highway fatalities in Colorado through the first seven months of this year and last year. For a more thorough comparison, Ive also included the highest fatality figures for each month since 2002, the lowest for each month since 2002 and the average for each month since 2002.
