I'm only curious to hear how it is going there?
Have crime rates gone up? gone down? DUIs or DWIs a big deal now? (not that they weren't before?)
I was pretty surprised when it became legal. And I did(and still do) support it, but i never heard if it actually went threw. I heard they are still trying to get rid of the dispensaries and what not.
It being the practice state, I'm also curious to know if it is going to pave its way to other states.
I'm also still curious to hear what you guys think of it, weather it be opinions or views. but some actual research behind you're personal opinion would be appreciated! Thank You
PS I would like to apologize for my terrible spelling/grammar science and math were always my better subjects. And I know my question may not be clear. I'm just wondering if Colorado is in fact proving marijuana is not the demonized drug we showed in high school health films...
Update:See I keep hearing things... it will most likely, its been about a year now hasnt it? Has anything changed or is it all just the same?

Crime rates likely will drop. And so will drug abuse of harder more dangerous drugs. After all, if you go buy a beer at a store, how often do they try to sell you crack? Likewise eventually marijuana could be sold in a similar way, limiting people's exposure to hard street drugs.
Crime is only one aspect, public health is absolutely improved by marijuana legalization.
The people who sat on the porch and smoked weed still sit on the porch and smoke weed. That sums it up quite nicely.
