Anti-marijuana activists have warned that legalising weed would lead to increased drug addiction, mental problems and crime – but in Colorado, which legalised recreational use of marijuana, the opposite has happened.
Overall,
crime has fallen by 15% and murder has dropped by 50%.
Sexual
assaults and car crime have fallen, and violent crime is down 10% overall.
Sales
of legalised marijuana have boomed in the state – with more then £22 million
sold in August alone.
The
state puts 10% of that money towards building and maintaining schools, with
donations now at £2.2 million per month.
