So crime dropped near pot shots after marijuana was legalized. Am I to believe that crime near pot shops was higher before it was legalized? IOW when pot was a crime more reports were entered than when it wasn’t. You got be high to write stories like this, but then it is a Coloradical story.
From the article: “In Denver, researchers found the sharpest decrease in nonviolent crimes, like criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, simple assault and public-order crimes.”
