Yet highways deaths rates are at record lows. State level data for 2013 is available at the link that follows. Note that Colorado, Washington, and Oregon were below the national average, which was 1.11 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. DC, which has medical marijuana and just voted 2 to 1 to legalize, had the lowest fatality rate in the country.

Cars are safer, thus fewer are dying in auto accidents.

Yet highways deaths rates are at record lows.Non Sequitur. What correlation, let alone causation, does that meaningless statistic of traffic deaths have to do with DUIs?
"You keep using that statistic. I don't think it means what you think it means."

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.
