Was the study paid by the pot industry. And notice how narrow their “study” is. Crime decreased near pot shops - what about the rest of the city?

No, by the Federal Reserve: https://philadelphiafed.org/-/media/research-and-data/publications/working-papers/2017/wp17-19.pdf

Some said pot shops would draw crime - this study addressed that idea.

Everyone was too high to commit any crimes :)

Actually, I’ve never met a stoner who was a criminal in any real sense of the word, except using pot, which is illegal.

Heroin junkies and meth heads and crack addicts will steal and worse to get money for their drugs.

Stoners might offer to mow the lawn for 30 bucks :)

Sounds like pot shops are all in bad areas.

Wonder how the black market is doing.

Something really bothers me about these pot houses. Like for every legal one, there's an illegal one.....two doors away.
