Kate, if you'd clicked on the link in the article, you'd have been directed to the Colorado Department of Public Safety and its report, "Colorado Division of Criminal Justice Publishes Report on Impacts of Marijuana Legalization in Colorado", which gives the source of the info in this article. You won't hear about it from your local mainstream media, which explains your ignorance of the problem.

Hello Kate, UFI always strives to provide good data. The information you are looking for can be found in the hyperlink we provided in that paragraph. Here it is if your computer had difficulty opening the hyperlink: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/publicsafety/news/colorado-division-criminal-justice-publishes-report-impacts-marijuana-legalization-colorado It comes from the Colorado Department of Public Safety: "The number of fatalities where a driver tested positive for any cannabinoid (Delta 9 or any other metabolite) increased from 55 (11% of all fatalities) in 2013 to 139 (21% of all fatalities) in 2017." It may not be possible to test for cannabis intoxication at a traffic stop, but urine, hair and saliva tests can confirm the presence of cannabinoids.

I don't think it is as cut-and-dried as you claim, Kate. Here is an article from the Denver Post that indicates traffic stop testing and detrimental societal effects from marijuana are significant. https://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/25/marijuana-impairment-testing/

Interesting--I live in Colorado (have for years) and haven't heard about all the dire consequences of marijuana legalization reported by this article. One would think I would at least have heard a BIT about it, but nope, not at all. The only thing that I am aware of is that, despite the article's assertion to the contrary, it is not possible to test for marijuana intoxication (as it is for alcohol) at a traffic stop, which is a problem for law enforcement. There just is no way to do it, so I'm puzzled by the statistic of the high number of DUI-marijuana reported. Where did that data come from??
