Good article. My state is considering legalization, so I am interested to know about the experiences of states that have already done so.
Here's a graph of Colorado traffic fatalities since 2002:

The graph shows a substantial increase in fatalities in 2015 and 2016; however, the total number of miles driven in those years also increased substantially. And, the fatalities in 2015 and 2016 were much lower than in 2002. So I'm not sure what to make of this data, but I will continue to investigate.
Thanks again for the article.
