I listened to a story on NPR a few months back on how a study came out reporting that accidents involving alcohol had decreased by like 20% in Colorado and Washington State and how it was one of the unrealized benefits of making pot legal and all. Then the reporter went on to reveal that they dug a little deeper and found out that while alcohol related accidents had fallen by 20%, the "High" driving accidents had soared by almost double what alcohol had dropped at 36% and even more digging turned up the source of the original report was linked to a group lobbying for the legalization of pot and had interests in the sale of medical and legal recreational pot. Just a big shite show and another example of how you can not trust anything you hear.
