Arizona is voting whether or not to legalize marijuana this election and they are using "alleged" things that are happening in Colorado as a result of your state legalizing.
Is this true?
- none of the profits are going to your schools? - youth use of pot has increased 40%? - vehicle accidents due to driver use of pot has increased substantially?
I heard it on an ad this morning while watching my local news.

There were supposed to be hundreds of millions going to school's infrastructures. I have read several places that less than 40 million has gone to schools. I do wonder how much extra $ is spent on law enforcement with the homelessness it has brought into the state. I have several friends who are principals and the junior high kids are bringing it into the schools in large quantities by way of chewables and other hard to detect goodies. I do believe that it needs to be readily available to those who need it for pain relief, but it is out of control how many businesses sell it.

The amount of fatal accidents each year over the last four years hasn't fluctuated significantly. There has been an increase in accident victims who have tested positive for THC, but this doesn't mean the accidents are occurring due to TCH consumption since you can still test positive 2-4 weeks after using. It really only means that more people are consuming cannabis, which would be expected now that it's legal. Does that make sense? It doesn't even make sense when I read through my own response, and I don't know if I'm explaining this the right way.
