Police Chief, Citing Joke Site: ‘Legal Pot Killed 37 People On First Day’

“Testifying against marijuana legalization before the Maryland legislature today, Annapolis Police Chief Michael Pristoop warned of the potentially lethal consequences. ‘The first day of legalization, that’s when Colorado experienced 37 deaths that day from overdose on marijuana,’ Pristoop told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. ‘I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths.’  As Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery) quickly pointed out, what Pristoop actually remembered was a joke story at The Daily Currant.”
