So you expect me to do hours of research, find old copies of the local papers and type out articles for you since they aren’t online? And go call up the Fire Chief and ask him about the increased crime so I can record and transcribe? Maybe contact the County Sheriff who I have never spoken with and get his sworn statement?

If you don’t how are we to believe you? Surely there is a county newspaper or some local news source to validate your claims. Even a local blogger’s complaining similarly might give your claims some credibility.

Truth is, there are scores of articles that debunk the “sky is falling” BS you’ve been peddling.

“Our conclusion is that state-level marijuana legalizations to date have been associated with, at most, modest changes in marijuana use and related outcomes. Our estimates cannot rule out small changes, and related literature finds some effects from earlier marijuana policy changes such as medicalization. But the strong claims about legalization made by both opponents and supporters are not apparent in the data. The absence of significant adverse consequences is especially striking given the sometimes dire predictions made by legalization opponents.”

All research in this internet age requires just a few minutes & a bit of “want to”.

I don't know what those sources said, and I don't know how well you're summarizing them.

So you expect me to

I expect little if anything from you. But be aware that you don't persuade fence sitters with unverifiable statements, even if you know them to be true.
