Homeless growth??? Lol.... I smoked heavily for years, never lost my home! Functioned at high level. Moved up in work place.
Alcohol is much worse of a drug! Physically and socially.
Remember, there are always more than one side to a story.

Opinion article from someone from the Springs.
Marijuana tax revenue hit $200 million in Colorado as sales pass $1 billion
So, what toll are we supposed to see?

Most of those "problems" are a result of being the only state where it's legal (for some of the five years) and then one of just a few.
This is not an unreasonable point, amongst many that are.

Amazingly stupid point.
Are they suggesting pot causes homelessness
Yeah, because I have never seen a drug addict who was homeless due to his addiction.

You do realize that isn't profit. From what most have seen it is a wash financially. Between regulating and the drug education requirements it's at most paying itself to be legal.
I can only imagine how Louisiana would frick it up if even Colorado hasn't figured out how to actually apply that to fixing roads or real education needs.

Thats one of my biggest qualms with legalizing it, its very hard to test to see if you are high, or were high last week.
Why do you care? Smokers actually have a better chance of a DUI because of how long it's in your system.
I'm not high currently but I promise I have more THC in my blood than the law allows.
I can't wait for better testing but it isn't a reason to hold back legalization on a federal level.

I have O&G clients that are having a hard time finding industrial real estate in Denver and surrounding areas because the pot growers are driving up prices
That sucks, I know I get pretty pissed when my property value increases.

This is such blatant propaganda. The United States average for homelessness is 195 per 100,000. Colorado has a homeless rate of 197 per 100,000. A state like Utah has a rate of 266 per 100,000, where weed is still illegal. And in general, the West Coast states have a much higher rate of homelessness. Ascribing an increased rate of homelessness to solely marijuana legalization alone is dishonest, and brazenly so.
In terms of fatal crashes, in 2016, 33% of those fatalities were directly caused by alcohol. In fact, the number of fatalities from traffic accidents in 2017 was lower than the numbers of fatalities from 2002 to 2004, and again ascribing the increase from a the lowest total fatalities, in 2011 with 447, to marijuana alone is again dishonest.
Certainly a roadblock to widespread legalization is a testing method for drivers who are high versus drivers who have marijuana in their system, but when more than a third of traffic fatalities are related to alcohol, it seems that solely describing the problem as related to marijuana legalization is an attempt to link a problem that has existed before marijuana legalization.

Why is that point so contentious?
Is it really so radical that the first state to legalize recreational marijuana use saw a major uptick in homelessness?

And, they are using the tax income to infrastructure and acquiring and keeping open space land.

It would be pretty despicable to pay for education with a drug that causes mental retardation

The article wasn't saying the pot causes more homelessness, it is saying the pot makes Denver a destination for the homeless to move to so they can buy weed.

Alcohol isn't a drug you dopehead they sell it at the grocery store

Given that property value and quality of living has sky rocketed in Denver, it's amazing that this hasnt driven the city to anarchy yet.
Posted on 2/12/18 at 11:40 am to hawgfaninc
It's substitutionary. Homeless transport from one area to another. Legalize everywhere and it evens out

You need to do more research.
