The author of the articld doesn't. From the article:

Of course, the continuing drop in roadway fatalities, in Colorado and elsewhere, is due to a variety of factors, such as better-built cars and trucks, improved safety features and better road engineering. These figures in and of themselves only indicate that the roads are getting safer; they don’t suggest that pot had anything to do with it. We’re also only seven months in. Maybe these figures will change. Finally, it’s also possible that if it weren’t for legal pot, the 2014 figures would be even lower.

This is simply a propaganda article with a propaganda headline posted by pro-pot people who want to spread propaganda about how great pot is. Anyone in their right mind KNOWS that MORE potheads on the road equals MORE traffic accidents.

Who says they're on the road?

Well, FWIW, out of all the stoners I do know, they usually smoked their weed at home, and either daze or nap the time following, so driving after getting stoned is not the same kind of issue as getting drunk before driving. The reason how I know is that they admitted after the fact that the reason why they were unresponsive or in obscurity the whole weekend was because they got stoned.
