What will be interesting over the next 20 years is how legal weed will impact addiction rates.

  Colorado's governor is having second thoughts about legalization.[1] [1] https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/20/us/colorado-marijuana-and-crime/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/20/us/colorado-marijuana-and-cri...

    Is this a propaganda piece pushed by entrenched alcohol industry interests?

      As someone who thinks marijuana should be legal, I thought it was a reasonable article.

        The video embedded in the article pretty much made the point that legal weed brought transients to the state, and they are in turn people that would have committed crimes regardless of what state they are in. Legalizing nationally would negate the issue.

    I don't think they can blame a slight increase in violent crime on marijuana. And the increase in homelessness is something every state in America will need to get used too. It's not due to legalizing marijuana. It's a complex problem that will just explode. Homelessness is Americas #1 problem, and is just going to get worse. (Sorry about the know it all attitude. I'm tired of politicians looking for easy targets, especially when it comes to homelessness. I don't like weed. I would have thought DUI's would have skyrocketed, but missed that in the article.)
