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.

Which doesn't make sense, as Nevada, California, and Oregon have higher rates of homelessness, despite it still being recently legal in Nevada, recently legal in California, and legal since 2014 in Oregon. I won't deny that homeless might migrate to Denver because metropolitan areas might have more services available to the homeless, but suggesting marijuana as solely a cause for that homelessness is an odd suggestion.

Bet a bunch of deadbeats moved up there hoping to get one of the jobs that the industry created. Stupid people probably moved up there with no knowledge of the actual job market. They saw Krishna Andavolu on WEEDIQUETTE on VICE, and thought they could move to Colorado, get a job in the industry, and become millionaires in a couple of months.

That's their American dream. It's Trump's fault they haven't reached it.
