http://abcnews.go.com/Health/colorado-marijuana-report-reveals-increase-hospital-visits-legalization/story?id=38514764

The woman from Colorado that made these observations agreed that the government was never going to make pot illegal again because they were too fond of the new found tax revenue.

“They clarified that these codes do not prove that cannabis exposure was the main reason a patient was treated at the hospital.
“Use of these codes does not mean that the visit is motivated by marijuana exposure but simply that it is a possibility,” the study authors said.”

MADD used to pull that crap, too. A man who has had one beer is rear-ended by a completely sober driver while waiting at a stop light. Bam, another “alcohol-related” accident.

Here, it looks like anyone who comes in with a detectable THC level is being counted as a “marijuana-related” case, even where the marijuana was totally unrelated.
