Why are you entitled to your drug of choice and want to deny others theirs which has a better track record? It’s about equal rights to me.

Do you smoke marijuana? Why? How do you feel about 13-17 year-olds smoking it? Or eating it, whatever they're doing with it now.

How about booze?

I use both for different reasons. I do not use either to escape reality or alter my perception of it.

Colorado's crime wave and marijuana policies

Coloradans' concerns about public safety are growing, and for good reason. Former District Attorneys George Brauchler and Mitch Morrissey recently pointed out startling increases in crime from 2011-2020: a 35% jump in violent crime, and a historic rise in property crimes.


A 2019 study of Colorado medical and recreational dispensaries found that both types of marijuana storefronts were associated with statistically significant increases in rates of neighborhood crime and disorder.



Another report estimated last year’s black market haul to be nearly $2 billion, compared to legal sales of approximately the same amount. Therefore, criminal elements are roughly half our entire state’s marijuana market.

More cartels and illegal growing operations have fueled the increases in violent crime.

The link with crime is not only on a societal level. Though our image of marijuana users may be associated with peace and love, we now know today’s highly potent marijuana—sometimes up to 99% potent versus the 5% THC of yesteryear — is increasingly linked to psychosis.

Other studies suggest marijuana use beginning earlier in life can, “…play a role in the emergence of violent behaviors.” While most individuals who consume marijuana will not become violent, these are scientific facts that must be considered by decision makers.

Opinion piece only. From SAM, a political group opposing mj legalization. It really said nothing.

Marijuana should have the same restrictions as alcohol, adults only.

The author of the article is stupid. Conway never said ANYTHING about marijuana ODs and She said the drug ODs has doubled and it has . Since 2015 gone from 48,000 OD deaths to 108,000 ODs deaths. The problem with encouraging the use of marijuana is it can lead to the use of more dangerous drugs. With Fentanyl that is made to look like legal pharmaceuticals now is not the time for anyone to encourage the recreational use of any kind of drugs. From the CDC
