Super small sample size, and correlation is not causation, and also a great many other factors to consider, but thus far Denver society hasn't collapsed.

I guess you didn't actually read the article. It's talking about violent crime and property crime.

Even If I didn't. So just because weed became legal violent crime and property crime went down solely because of weed? I seriously doubt it.

The article was written in response to the predictions of all of the terrible things that would happen if marijuana was legalized, and to show that isn't happening.

And while it would certainly be premature to credit weed for Denver's falling crime rate, the sky's not falling, either. In fact, a recent study in PLOS One suggested that not only is there no evidence medical marijuana increases crime, and in fact it's associated with slightly lower rates of violent crime.

As the OP inked "Super small sample size, and correlation is not causation" but it does refute the supposed crime increase legalization of marijuana would cause.

Wait, wait, wait, anybody seen or heard from josh lately? Think he may be in Colorado "Livin La Vida Loca?"

It's difficult to measure whether there has been an increase in pot-related crimes beyond anecdotal reports because no one at either the federal or state levels is keeping track of the numbers of killings, robberies and other crimes linked directly to marijuana.
