How in the hell do I know? If they are homeless in Colorado, then they would probably be homeless in another state. Marijuana has nothing to do with their situation other than the fact they won’t get arrested for using it. Which is what probably brought them to Colorado in the first place. Legalize marijuana nationwide and the homeless population in Colorado will return to normal.
John Hickenlooper won't be banning anything in CO, because he vacated the seat of the governor, and is now running for president. The new guy is a raving liberal, pro-gay (he is gay himself), pro-drugs and pro-everything.
“How Does Cannabis Help Depression?” is the topic of an article on Leafly, the largest cannabis website. But a mountain of peer-reviewed research in top medical journals shows that marijuana can cause or worsen severe mental illness, especially psychosis, the medical term for a break from reality. Teenagers who smoke marijuana regularly are about three times as likely to develop schizophrenia, the most devastating psychotic disorder.
After an exhaustive review, the National Academy of Medicine found in 2017 that “cannabis use is likely to increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychoses; the higher the use, the greater the risk.” Also that “regular cannabis use is likely to increase the risk for developing social anxiety disorder.”
As an independent thinker, all one needs to do is follow the money. The article should be considered nothing more than a perfect example of "fake news", that we hear about so much today. The article should be taken no more seriously than a grain of salt. Hillsdale College is about as conservative as it gets. That school advertised on Rush Limbaugh's show when Rush was still releavent. You know they will do anything they can to stop legalization of marijuana. The fact is alcohol has a much worse effect on society than marijuana ever will have.

So, independent thinkers reject medical studies and just "follow the money"?
No, independent thinkers look at the evidence and form their opinion based on that. There is overwhelming evidence that the psycho-toxins in marijuana cause/trigger mental illness is some users, and the legal status has nothing to do with it.

There isn't overwhelming evidence, that it is an overwhelming problem though.
Not putting things into perspective, is a form of propaganda that uses truth, in a similar fashion to omission of facts.

Nah I absolutely believe in drawing conclusions based on the best available data, not only that but I believe most likely the studies are accurate. I am saying it is not a large enough problem to justify the problems caused by it being illegal.
A marginal increase of the chances of an already tiny subset of the population to develop additional mental problems. So a small percentage increase of an already tiny group that results in... still a tiny group rate. The wide ranging damage to peoples lives from issues related to the punitive actions of the government triggered by it being illegal cause vastly more harm than a small increase in the mental health problems resulting from its use.
In short, if 1 person in a million has a chance to go crazy, and legalizing some thing increase the odds of that by 400% (so now 4 more people in a million go crazy), but you are currently locking up 1000 people in a million to stop it, your priorities are out of whack.

Sounds good for the country.......most of us are pro everything. That's called freedom.

I have found that freedom combined with personal responsibility seems to work much better than nanny-state government.
