“The crime rate in Denver, Colorado’s largest city, has gone down by 2.4%, with property crime falling by 14.6%, in the past year — all while enough ganja is being sold in the state to make Cheech and Chong blush. The fear mongering that we always hear about marijuana is being exposed for exactly what it is. ‘If voters [legalize marijuana], I believe there will be many harmful consequences,’ said Sheriff David A. Weaver before the amendment was passed. ‘Expect more crime … I think our entire state will pay the price.’ Meanwhile, three months into the legalization experiment, consumers are buying over $14 million worth of product a month. That works out to approximately 1,683 pounds of pot.”
