It appears it did not turn out to be the disaster that many predicted.

The emotional reaction may not have been warranted.

Now every statistic that goes down in CO will be because of POT.

PotHeads will never get any respect from me either way. Losers.
And I hope every one of them lose their jobs over the drug testing.

the key word here is “fatalities”

getting high relaxes you, being relaxed during a crash actually helps you survive it.

Traffic on some of the highways in CO has radically decreased because of the economic decline, fuel prices (still high on the Range), gun control, etc. Also, most of the traffic consists of small cars again, so more of the drivers are more cautious. Police are also watching potheads on the highways and keeping their ears open for word of pothead drivers from gas station/convenience store proprietors (big revenues from pothead car stops).

It is my understanding that the most prominent question that most young drives in Colorado have to ask is:

Dude, Where’s My Car?

As conservatives, we need to be consistent.

We are constantly quoting statistics that show crime rates as being higher in counties with the strictest gun control laws and lower in counties where it is much easier for citizens to own and bear guns.

I think those statistics are accurate and effectively make the argument that gun control actually increases crime because it restricts the law-abiding from defending themselves, giving the criminals a safe haven in which to operate.

Well, if it turns out that legalizing pot decreases highway fatalities (even if the true reason is that everybody is too stoned to go anywhere), then I say let them have their pot and let the rest of us have our guns.
