Alabama saw a similar increase in violent crime in the same period, sans legalization. I'm not seeing any evidence that this is more than a spurious correlation.
I'm also not seeing any significant increase in insurance rates after my state ended prohibition, and the traffic fatalities and collisions haven't been significantly impacted.
What explanation do you propose for why cannabis legalization would lead to an increase in violent crime?
- tatersolid 6y agoOur auto insurance rates went up significantly in Illinois recently, likely correlated with legalization. Anecdotally, the people I know who use marijuana drive high regularly and don’t think that doing so is dangerous, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
