Correlation is not causation.

My 'guess' is that since GAS is so high, once pot was legalized, people in CO decided to stay home and get high. I.E. they shifted their spending habits.

Less traffic, less accidents.

I really do not think that traffic fatalities are the only metric by which the effects of legalized pot can be determined. Nor, for that matter, do I think that six months' data is sufficient to project long term effects.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, and I for one, am content to await more information.
