More and more peaceful roads in Nevada

This data is exactly the same as that for Colorado, one year after legalization. In short, it is 10% less deaths on the roads. And this data is also similar for the state of Washington.
These unequivocal figures are, of course, the opposite of the warnings expressed by opponents of legalization. Those who justify their opposition to the regulation of the cannabis market by law are the same ones who say that cannabis is a danger to drivers.
