From the article:
More to the point, Colorado traffic fatalities between 2007 and 2012 involving operators testing positive for marijuana use increased 100 percent over that periodfrom 39 in 2007 up to 78 in 2012.

Typically, this kind of statistic means the total number went from 1 to 2, and that it was a passenger that tested positive.
First, it was still illegal in 2012. Second, if the pot-positive fatalities went up from 39 to 78, but the *overall* traffic fatalities dropped from 555 to 474, then where is your case against pot? http://www.coloradodot.info/library/traffic/traffic-manuals-guidelines/safety-crash-data/fatal-crash-data-city-county/Colorado_Historical_Fatalities_Graphs.pdf/view
