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.

For sure.
Its intellectually dishonest.
A majority of the reason is probably why so many homeless people flocked to the Pacific Northwest pre-legalization. The culture is far more inviting for homeless people. They take care of them more.

Homeless that wanted easy access to weed? Makes sense to me. Struggling person in Kansas moves to Colorado....

Complete agree.
I bet if you plot housing costs and cost of living vs # of homeless in Denver, you'd see a pretty damn strong correlation. SF would show a similar spike in the homeless numbers before weed being legalized there too.
