MORE GRADE 12 STUDENTS IN COLORADO TRYING LEGALIZED POT

New data shows that there are regions in post-marijuana-legalization
Colorado that are in big trouble.

Regions that refused to allow pot shops experienced a decrease in use
or it stayed flat. Where commercial marijuana is plentiful, there has
been a great increase in use among students. The data showed that the
proportion of Grade 12 students who had used marijuana in the past
month was, on average, more than 50 per cent higher than the value
reported for their age group nationally.

For example: Students in Boulder and Broomfield area were 98 per cent
above the national average; Garfield, Pitkin, Eagle, Summit, Grand (79
per cent higher); Pueblo (70 per cent); and Denver (56 per cent).
