Colorado's crime rate was declining... until they legalized marijuana

By Sierra Rayne

Despite what the Big Pot lobbyists claim, the evidence is starting to mount that Colorado's experiment with legalized marijuana has led to increased crime in the state.   According to the latest 2014 Crime in Colorado report by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the crime rate -- based on arrests statistics -- increased 9 percent from 2013 to 2014. But that is only part of the story. Looking back on the crime rate data over the preceding decade, the state's crime rate was rapidly declining (by 32 percent overall) from 2004 through 2012.

My Take - When will we learn if the left supports something - anything - then that's more than adequate reason to be against it? Truth is the sublime convergence of history and reality. Historically dystopia follows leftism - everywhere and in every arena. Reality demonstrates that basic fundamental truth. Why do we listen to their insanity? Because people in positions of power and responsibility in government, the media, academia and industry selfishly promote this clabber because they'll benefit in some way. 
 
They must be insane because history has shown they will pay the same penalty as the rest of society eventually. They must know that! But it's like those who kept investing in real estate as the housing bubble kept expanding beyond the ability to recover. They kept thinking they were smart enough to get out at the right time - and they knew the collapse was coming at some point. But greed kept getting in the way of wisdom! They just couldn't leave a nickel on the table and walk away. Unfortunately they always take the rest of society down with them. 
 
That's history - that's reality!
