Feds will probably expand enforcement. New crack down by perhaps limiting highway funds to those states that have passed said legislation

The only thing definitive about this study is that auto insurance rates are going to go up in pot legal states.

A lot
And when employees cant pass drugs tests, and EVERYONE see their insurance rates double, guess what law gets repealed with the quickness?

I can't wait for them to start doing piss tests on the side of the highway.

Auto Ins is already high as hell in New Orleans. We might as well be too.

I see what you did there.

Why would the insurance rates go up significantly when the data clearly reflects an insignificant increase, if any, when factoring the population growth roughly being the same?

You know what else has probably increased since legalization: smart phone usage rates and the ability to do pretty much anything on a phone.
We better start lobbying Congress to push for regulations on phones and not allow phones to have internet capability. We need to cut down on those phone distractions as it will save the children!

but DUI's and alcohol related deaths have decreased.

I'm not being serious. I ran into a snow bank around Leadville while baked but it was going to happen either way with the patch of ice I hit. No cops involved so I didn't contribute to those stats in any way

Because they want to make more money. The entire point of this study, by using insurance claims rather than police accident reports is setting up an excuse to raise rates.

I still can't find this study, but I did find a 2017 study that had the following results.
quote:
Objectives. To determine the association of medical marijuana laws (MMLs) with traffic fatality rates.
Methods. Using data from the 1985–2014 Fatality Analysis Reporting System, we examined the association between MMLs and traffic fatalities in multilevel regression models while controlling for contemporaneous secular trends. We examined this association separately for each state enacting MMLs. We also evaluated the association between marijuana dispensaries and traffic fatalities.
Results. On average, MML states had lower traffic fatality rates than non-MML states. Medical marijuana laws were associated with immediate reductions in traffic fatalities in those aged 15 to 24 and 25 to 44 years, and with additional yearly gradual reductions in those aged 25 to 44 years. However, state-specific results showed that only 7 states experienced post-MML reductions. Dispensaries were also associated with traffic fatality reductions in those aged 25 to 44 years.
Conclusions. Both MMLs and dispensaries were associated with reductions in traffic fatalities, especially among those aged 25 to 44 years. State-specific analysis showed heterogeneity of the MML–traffic fatalities association, suggesting moderation by other local factors. These findings could influence policy decisions on the enactment or repealing of MMLs and how they are implemented.

auto rates are going up drastically the next few years across the country.

Correlation =/= causation.
For instance:
The murder rate in Nola has skyrocketed since marijuana was made legal in Colorado.

Should also read - great states to own an auto body shop.

What a disingenous article

No doubt. When I was smoking a little pot years ago, I couldn't drive worth a _hit. Talk about distractions!
