For sure. Its intellectually dishonest.
Nah, it's just a symptom of being the first mover. I've got little doubt that legalization is the culprit, but it's a problem that would disappear if it was legal everywhere.

Man, its a cultural thing. These hip, Northwestern cities filled with progressive young people are all filled with homeless people because the cities take care of them far more than anywhere else in the country.
Portland is a prime example.

I'm sure a small portion move there for pot, but a majority I don't think do.

But again, why is the homeless rate in the surrounding Western states, where weed wasn't legal during the same period of Colorado's legalization, much greater than Colorado's? Colorado has a rate of 197 per 100,000, Nevada has a rate of 266 per 100,000, Oregon has a rate of 341 per 100,000, and California has a rate of 342 per 100,000.
Why isn't the 9 percent growth that Colorado experienced not the cause of an 8 percent (from what I can tell) increase in the homeless rate?
