Seen any unmodified data out of Colorado since legalization?

200 million in tax revenue the first year to the state.

10% increase in traffic fatalities.

I’ll take safety over impairment any day.

But this gadget will never get wide use/distribution as the economic gain (i.e. - corruptocrat enrichment quotient) from taxing the stuff is too high.

I doubt that - have any evidence?

States make a lot in alcohol taxes, but breathalyzers are in wide use.

Correlation doesn’t equal causation.

Maybe it’s all the Mexicans and Cali transplants moving there.

But MORE than an increase of 10% in population. That I-70 and I-25 traffic is getting any less congested.

Long term trend wise it’s hard to tell
