Leads with two sensational stories that happened 3+ years ago and over a year apart. The voice of reason!
Seemingly normal people can do insane things even while sober. People do insane acts of violence daily while under influence of alcohol and legal pills. At a far higher rate than cannabis users. Most of the school shooters were under legal drugs. Yet these substances are still legal because, by far, most people consuming them are not violent.
The rate of increased violent crime is due to the synthetic opiod epidemic hitting all inner cities and gangs rising up from their profits. These are chinese synthetic drugs far cheaper than pot and dozens of times stronger than heroin. This issue has nothing to do with legalized pot.

Also, the traffic studies cited in this article are not correctly analyzing the data. Cannabis metabolite found in the blood from using it weeks ago does not indicate impairment now. Calling “cannabis related” is not science.
“CDOT spokesman Sam Cole said the department considers the number of deaths in which the driver was marijuana-impaired under state law to be the most reliable indicator of its impact on the highways.
By that measure, marijuana-related deaths are clearly down.”

You and your pesky facts.
Oh, please. Even Hickenlooper, the sitting leftist governor of Colorado who signed the marijuana bill into law, expressed regret for doing it. Why?
