They are DEA talking points.

Crime and the need of ER care has dropped in Colorado, rather significantly since legalization. So have auto accidents, as people seem to prefer the healthier choice, pot over alcohol.

Given the positive impact on PTSD sufferers, people with chronic pain, and the general gentle disposition of people on pot, compared to the acts of violence and spousal abuse that is often connected to alcohol abuse, which would you prefer?

By the way, what on this flat earth constitutes as a Pot Addiction? It is not listed in the DSM-IV(R) , which is the hand book of all mental illnesses, addictions, etc. Again, you are hawking DEA talking points. I suggest you study real facts, instead of Reefer Madness crap.
