Yet highways deaths rates are at record lows.

They were lower in the past. You are interpreting a dip in the "noise" level as a correlation with pot legalization. There hasn't been enough time or enough data to demonstrate such a correlation.

It sound more like you are just part of the "Yay Pot!" Cheerleading squad.
