It's comparing the numbers to those of the bordering states. That's a terrible way to assess this. Anyone have a link to the actual study, I can't find it in any of the news articles and I would like to look at the methodology.

If it proves the dangers of drugs like marijuana and saves lives by getting the word out, then it's the perfect way to assess it.

And likely the only one that had "significance."

I like how they throw in the line that the actual difference is 3% "but thats still significant." You can't use the word "significant" when talking about a study unless you provide the statistical details to explain how it is actually statistically significant.

Really? I mean really...do you need to look at the methodology to conclude that legalizing MJ is going to lead to more instances of driving under the influence?

You know that people is Colorado are smoking more, thus driving stoned more, and you just don't want to admit it.
