This means what? you kinda have to look at more than a 6 month comparison. What are the long term trends for crime in Colorado? where they already declining?

i.e. there were 87 murders in Denver in 2004, 39 in 2012. 1442 robberies in 2004, 1165 n 2012, 7322 burglaries in 2004, 5129 in 2012. crime already showed a downward trend. all b4 MMJ, so maybe there are other issues involved...

I am very interested to see the financial haul that Colorado takes in by the taxes on weed, the reduction in spending for enforcement/ prosecution/ and incarceration, along with the crime data. I really think that if they can show where the state is now going to be at a major profit, it will open up law makers eyes...


Honestly, even if there was no tax at all and people could just buy from black market dealers with no consequences, legalization would save money from the lowered enforcement/incarceration costs.
