I doubt any MJ afficianado would take the time to actually read the evidence...
By every metric MJ has been a disaster for Colorado.. well other than drugs being consumed... those have skyrocketed
More accidents
More fatalities
More pollution from dope growing
Many more hash oil explosions
More children at risk
Please.. tell me all the input and all the agencies and people are lying
Hot off the press

POT ISNT SO INNOCENT ANYMORE
Marijuana Intoxication Blamed for More Deaths, Injuries:
CBS4 Investigates reporter Brian Maass,in May of 2015,did a report on marijuana intoxication and deaths.
One case cited was an 18 yearold former outstanding soccer player (Daniel Juarez)who was smoking marijuana with a friend and subsequently told the friend he did not want anymore because he was too high. According to witnesses, he began acting irrationally, running wild,stripping off his clothes and went into an apartment.
He then got a knife and stabbed himself 20 times, one of which pierced his heart. The
autopsy report showed 38.2 nanograms of THC in his blood at the time of death. The
level set for impaired driving by the state of Colorado is 5 nanograms.
A second case cited was a University of Wyoming 19 year old student (Levy Pongi)
who was visiting Denver. Apparently he and his friends were ingesting marijuana
edibles when the student began acting irrationally by upending furniture, tipping over
lamps then rushing out on the hotel balcony and jumping to his death. This student
had 7.2 nanograms of THC in his blood at time of death
A third case cited was a wife (Kristine Kirk) who called 911 to report her husband (Richard Kirk)
was acting erratically after eating marijuana edibles. While she was on the phone, her husband shot and killed her in front of their three children. The husband’s lawyer claimed he was not responsible for his actions due to “involuntary”
intoxication.
A fourth case cited was a 17year old Boulder high school student (Brant Clark) who committed suicide. According to his mother he had consumed a large amount of marijuana at a party and then suffered major psychotic episodes requiring emergency care at two hospitals over a threeday period. Three days later he took his own life
leaving behind a note that said, “Sorry for what I have done. I wasn’t thinking the night I smoked myself out.”
This case occurred in 2007 prior to the commercialization of medical marijuana.
A fifth case cited was an individual (Tron Doshe)who was returning home from a Colorado Rockies game and
had lost his keys. He attempted to climb the outside of the apartment building to reach his balcony when he fell to his
death. This death was ruled an accident. The autopsy report showed that this individual had 27.3 nanograms of
marijuana in his system, 5 times over Colorado’s legal limit and no other drugs were found in his system.
The last case cited was a college student (Luke Goodman) who was on a skiing vacation with his family in Keystone,
ingested marijuana edibles and subsequently shot himself to death. The autopsy report showed that he had 3.1 nanograms of THC in his system but that family members said he acted extremely irrational after ingesting the edibles
