        I would like to see corresponding stats for alcohol use in the same period.

        "traces of marijuana use from weeks earlier also can appear" So that could just indicate more people are using pot (unsurprising) rather than that people are driving high and crashing because of it. (Some studies indicate pot isn't as bad for driving as you'd think.)

        The homelessness Q is more interesting. This suggests homeless people might be coming in for pot. Meaning it didn't make them homeless, it just make them Coloradans.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/27/marijuana-legal-homeless-denver-colorado …

        Which would of course be somewhat ameliorated if pot were legalized everywhere

        This is what law enforcement agencies, etc. want you to believe. It's not causing people to become homeless. It's attracting homeless people. BIG difference. They didn't say there have been more fatal crashes, just that more people involved are testing positive. ➡

        I just thought they were interesting stats. Very aware of media’s slight of hand (or any statistician) for that matter. In one of Gladwell’s books it talks about taking care of the homeless. With all of that extra revenue this should be easy.

        I'm actually surprised you're capable of doing that, considering the number of brain cells you've likely killed by smoking pot.

        Quite an assumption pal, not a pot smoker. but also not interested in stats that can be skewed both ways.

        Further, the 40% rise for deaths from crashes is from a 10% incidence to a 14% incidence. Was there a decline in deaths as a percent from alcohol reasons?

        Turns out no, deaths related to alcohol rose from 15% to 17%, so increase related to pot not due to substitution of drug choice. But that is an important and easy point to make, which you didn't.

        No one said it had to be due to "substitution of drug of choice". The fact that it is an increased factor in these deaths is the point.

        It does matter though if its a substitution of deaths from another source or new deaths entirely. That has policy implications.

        Positive test results ... do not indicate whether a driver was high at the time of the crash. (from the article)

        So here is what Byron should have cited In 2016, 63% of drivers with positive results also had indications of use within hours, according to state data. Of these, 63% percent were over the state’s limit for driving.

        I had to read the article Byron cited to identify facts that definitely point to areas of concern.
