Changes in Traffic Crash Rates After Legalization of Marijuana: Results by Crash Severity 
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35838426/

Results: Legalization of the recreational use of marijuana was associated with a 6.5% increase in injury crash rates and a 2.3% increase in fatal crash rates, but the subsequent onset of retail marijuana sales did not elicit additional substantial changes. Thus, the combined effect of legalization and retail sales was a 5.8% increase in injury crash rates and a 4.1% increase in fatal crash rates. Across states, the effects on injury crash rates ranged from a 7% decrease to an 18% increase. The effects on fatal crash rates ranged from a 10% decrease to a 4% increase. [/quote]

There is absolutely no way to know if those drivers were high, or if drivers just plain old suck.

Half of the Uber drivers don’t know their left from right. The roads are more lawless than ever. Cops are pretty much worthless on the road. It’s normal to see accidents rise as cops are becoming less and less effective. [/quote]
