Six Months After Legalizing Marijuana, Two Big Things Have Happened in Colorado
The second point seems like it is a stretch.  Of course, crime rate of illegal marijuana dropped when it was legalized.<p>What I'd really like to see if related crime has dropped or increased - such as DUI, Theft, Assault, etc.<p>--Edit-- Thanks all for pointing out the piece I skimmed over :)  ...However I am still very curious to smaller offenses and misdemeanors.  It will be years before we see good statistics, but those elements will be politically crucial in pushing for wider adoption.
