The number of drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado who tested positive for marijuana has risen sharply each year since 2013, more than doubling in that time, federal and state data show. A Denver Post analysis of the data and coroner reports provides the most comprehensive look yet into whether roads in the state have become more dangerous since the drug?s legalization.
Increasingly potent levels of marijuana were found in positive-testing drivers who died in crashes in Front Range counties, according to coroner data since 2013 compiled by The Denver Post. Nearly a dozen in 2016 had levels five times the amount allowed by law, and one was at 22 times the limit. Levels were not as elevated in earlier years.
Last year, all of the drivers who survived and tested positive for marijuana use had the drug at levels that indicated use within a few hours of being tested, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, which compiles information for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?s Fatality Analysis Reporting System.
It's about the money, it's always been about the money. Just another revenue stream for governments to tap and they could care less about the ramifications.
Probably not. But after 3 decades playing in the s***hole my study was complete.
Do I trust government? Their numbers? Over what I saw and treated?
No.
I worked for them, I know their MO:

And some folks are seriously invested in 1930's Prohibition rhetoric.
So true. Then restate what someone said again.Ie; Don't use if you are CDL or CWP or any other profession that will test you.
Do 30 yrs in EMS and the truth will be glaring obvious.
