I like facts rather than speculation:
Research priorities identified by Fischer and his colleagues (Fischer et al., 2021) call for more studies examining the potential legalization-related spillover effects on property crime and violent crime. Studies in the US documenting the effects of cannabis legalization over the last decade show that while there may have been immediate increases in crime observed in some states [Oregon and Colorado (Freisthler et al., 2017; Hughes et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2021)] and a significant decrease in others [e.g., Washington State (Dragone et al., 2019)], there have been no long-term shifts in crime rates overall [cf. (Lu et al., 2021; Maier et al., 2017)].
" The present study corroborates these findings with Canadian data demonstrating that there is no evidence of associations between cannabis legalization and changes in subsequent patterns of property or violent crimes among male or female youth."
I love my freedoms which is why I'm on this site instead of another one. I'm free, white and over 21 and I make my own choices . Fuck the government telling me what I can and can't do as long as I'm not hurting anyone.
