That link has already been posted on this thread - and it’s already been pointed out that the link says:

“Colorado transportation and public safety officials, however, say the rising number of pot-related traffic fatalities cannot be definitively linked to legalized marijuana.

“Positive test results reflected in the NHTSA data do not indicate whether a driver was high at the time of the crash since traces of marijuana use from weeks earlier also can appear as a positive result.”

“In 2016, of the 115 drivers in fatal wrecks who tested positive for marijuana use, 71 were found to have Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in their blood, indicating use within hours, according to state data. “

Deaths were going down before and going up AFTER legalization.

I hope you are not trying to say driving after smoking pot is safe?

I think their has been an increase in ILLEGAL pot use sine legalization.
