Study finds traffic fatalities decline in states with medical marijuana laws
States that enacted medical marijuana laws, on average, experienced reductions in traffic fatalities, according to a study by researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. Overall, states that passed medical marijuana laws saw an 11 percent reduction in traffic fatalities, on average, after enacting the laws, and had 26 percent lower rates of traffic fatalities compared with states without the laws. The findings are published online in the American Journal of Public Health.
Reductions in traffic fatalities greatly impacted those between the ages of 15 and 44 and were especially striking among those aged 25 to 44 years, a group representing a high percentage of those registered patients for medical marijuana use.
Specifically, the researchers observed an 11 percent reduction of among those aged 15 to 24 years, 12 percent for ages 25 to 44, and 9 percent for those 45 years and older. Operational dispensaries were also associated with a significant reduction in traffic fatalities in those aged 25 to 44 years at 5 percent.
Lacking was strong evidence suggesting reductions among those aged 45 years and older, which is also a group overrepresented in the population of patients registered in state medical marijuana programs. “This finding suggests that the mechanisms by which medical marijuana laws reduce traffic fatalities mostly operate in those younger adults, a group also frequently involved in alcohol-related traffic fatalities,” said Julian Santaella-Tenorio, a doctoral student in Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health. In 2004 and 2013, 47 percent of fatally injured drivers with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater were 25 to 44 years old.
The researchers based their findings on data for 1985-2014 from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, a nationwide census of traffic fatalities information maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The association between medical marijuana laws and traffic fatalities for drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians was examined for each state enacting the laws. They also evaluated the link between marijuana dispensaries and traffic fatalities. Overall, a total of 1.22 million deaths were attributed to traffic crashes occurring in the 50 states during the study period.
Not all states with medical marijuana laws experienced reductions in traffic fatality rates, and a few states actually experienced increases. In California, after an initial immediate reduction of 16 percent in traffic fatalities and in New Mexico, after an immediate post-law reduction of 17.5 percent, the laws were actually associated with gradual increases in fatality rates. “These findings provide evidence of the heterogeneity of medical marijuana laws and indicate the need for further research on the particularities of implementing the laws at the local level. It also indicates an interaction of medical marijuana laws with other aspects, such as stronger police enforcement, that may influence traffic fatality rates,” noted Santaella-Tenorio.
“It is also possible that states with medical marijuana laws and lower traffic fatality rates may be related to lower levels of alcohol-impaired driving behavior in these states,” noted Silvia Martins, MD, PhD, associate professor at the Mailman School and senior author. “We found evidence that states with the marijuana laws in place compared with those which did not, reported, on average, lower rates of drivers endorsing driving after having too many drinks. We can also point to other characteristics such as the strength of public health laws related to driving, infrastructure characteristics, or the quality of health care systems, as a partial explanation for these findings.”
“The evidence linking medical marijuana laws and traffic fatalities lays the groundwork for future studies on specific mechanisms,” said Santaella-Tenorio. “We also expect another area of study will be the association between the laws and nonfatal traffic injuries.”

Traffic fatalities are still under 600 in Colorado for this year.
That's pretty dang awesome, especially considering the population growth the last few years. Rock on Colorado!

I've read too many horror stories here to trust commercial clones at all. I just grow our 12/6 A64 quota from seeds. Clones have obvious advantages for continuous commercial growers but that doesn't mean clones from the outside are the way to go. Some of the pests that travel with clones are highly adapted to cannabis farms, I suspect, and they're highly resistant to most of what we can throw at them because their ancestors lived through it.
I suppose seeds can carry fungus & bacterial problems, but I have yet to experience anything like that. Using organic soil I have greater risk of introducing pests than hydro guys but I only had thrips once a couple of years ago & fungus gnats off & on continuously. They're not very destructive & gnatrol whips their bug junkie asses big time. I hang the sticky traps that pull out of a little tube to tell me if they're around. I think gnats come in with worm castings sometimes.
No root aphids, no spider mites, no hard to figure out microscopic pests, no horror stories. I'm sure I've been more lucky than good & I figure growing from seed helps keep me that way.
If I wanted to expand beyond that, I'd use my own clones.

Hey y'all, checking in and saying hi. Relatively new grower in CO, I'm on my second grow using 25 gallon no tills, 1 plant per. Couple cuts from kind love and a few from somebody I met, I'm running DJ Short blueberry, sour kush, GG4 and blue dream. Man blue dream can be so good in organic soil, high is nice and pyschadelic. I also work as a full time farmer for one year of the big CO grows...learning a ton in a short amount of time.
Random question, is it cool to start a grow journal at the flip to flower or should I wait till my next run? I'm flipping on the first

ya it's cool to start up whenever u want
most peeps only show bloom anyhow for the most part
In Colorado the humidity is always very low, except when a storm roll through. Most of what you read is coming from people who live in coastal area's or place where there is humidity 24/7/365 days a year.
The plants adapt the their environment. The ones that adapt thrive, and those that don't, don't thrive.
i've been wanting to pickup a hydro fogger for a long time....

Thanks guys for the wisdom I am planning a grow in Co. Currently and it will be a big change for me going I to the dry weather. We're just tired of being g In. A red state I read about issues with the stomata closing g up but I don't see problems in winter indoor humidity in 30s or don't recognize it.
So some strains do ok and some don't ?
I would like to do mothers now and transport my cuts .
I have seen my CC818 do well in low humidity but I wonder about no humidity.
any strain suggestions would greatly appreciated. I have some desert diesel going. It sounded good. And it grows like crazy .

so that's attatched to a forced air heater?
my home has no forced air, and i'm really not trying to raise humidity in my house ( we, the humans, don't mind the dry air)
i'm focused more on concentrating the humidity in the grow room (bloom particularly) at the desired levels (50-70% ) and have some level of control over it.

Hydro foggers are dumb as fuck.
They get clogged and don't last long at all.
I use 2 whole house humidifiers that cost $99 each and hold 6 gallons of water a piece. I can keep the humidity at a steady 50% easily. I am tinkering with higher humidity soon, but wanted to start on the lower side.

I put a couple of ounces of vinegar in it, and clean it once per month. I also change out the filters once per month. If you clean more often you can make the filters go longer, but my time is worth more than a $10 filter.
This is the best thing for smaller grows of 8 lights or less. If you are bigger then I would just plumb in a swamp cooler. I have done that and god damn it works very well.
thansk MHG!
so you are using 2 of those... for how large of a space to maintain that 50% roughly
in your opinion this is a worthwhile venture - to raise humidity and control it?
And to the water supply as well w/ 1/4" tubing.
I'd think that a larger home grow would raise humidity in the house. Refrigerated air conditioning would tend to lower it. I haven't noticed any difference in the plants keeping RH at 35% but the wife likes it. It'd feel like living in a swamp at anything above 50%.
The best I've found for adding humidity is boiling a pot of water on the stove. But I would need several pots of boiling water through out the house to affect the humidity of the whole house. I like to use RO to boil down instead of tap water, then I don't have the left overs from the tap water in the bottom of the pot.
I use a humidifier called a minifogger by hydrofogger. It puts out .4 gal per hour. They reccomend ro water for them along with a dust filter. Ran mine on tap, not smart, scale all over humidifier, walls, had to spend 70$ to have a sensor fixed.
300. for the mini, then you need come sort of humidistat, around 100 dollars. Been trying to achieve ideal vpd.
