Message: <blockquote data-quote="CatDaddy" data-source="post: 234150" data-attributes="member: 755">This article is full of facts spun to fit their ignorant agenda and scare tactics.  Below is the American Journal of Public Health's study on crashes in legalized states.  She added fixing problems in the measure, if passed, before it becomes effective on Dec. 6, would require a special session. A special session in 2016 was estimated to cost $58,000Hmm....How much do you think they've already spent in the 2 years of screwing the pooch on medical MJ?  Seems like a drop in the bucket comparatively speaking.  They likely wouldn't even be facing a potential special session had they done right by the people the first time.Do you have any personal experience or are you just blindly looking for news that fits your agenda?  I've lived in the addiction counseling world and seen so many people on opioids, alcohol, and MJ.  Not even a comparison.  Remember, not everything you read on the internet is true. However, it IS coming.  Lies or not.  <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanwaldrep/2018/06/27/marijuana-is-now-legal-in-canada-why-the-u-s-will-not-be-far-behind/#3dd7fdd2be56" target="_blank">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanwaldrep/2018/06/27/marijuana-is-now-legal-in-canada-why-the-u-s-will-not-be-far-behind/#3dd7fdd2be56</a>Crash Study:<a href="https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2017.303848" target="_blank">https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2017.303848</a>Objectives. To evaluate motor vehicle crash fatality rates in the first 2 states with recreational marijuana legalization and compare them with motor vehicle crash fatality rates in similar states without recreational marijuana legalization.Methods. We used the US Fatality Analysis Reporting System to determine the annual numbers of motor vehicle crash fatalities between 2009 and 2015 in Washington, Colorado, and 8 control states. We compared year-over-year changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates (per billion vehicle miles traveled) before and after recreational marijuana legalization with a difference-in-differences approach that controlled for underlying time trends and state-specific population, economic, and traffic characteristics.Results. Pre–recreational marijuana legalization annual changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates for Washington and Colorado were similar to those for the control states. Post–recreational marijuana legalization changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates for Washington and Colorado also did not significantly differ from those for the control states (adjusted difference-in-differences coefficient = +0.2 fatalities/billion vehicle miles traveled; 95% confidence interval = −0.4, +0.9).Conclusions. Three years after recreational marijuana legalization, changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates for Washington and Colorado were not statistically different from those in similar states without recreational marijuana legalization. Future studies over a longer time remain warranted.</blockquote>
