Thanks to Fredamae for the idea and a start to the articles and SHRED for this thing of beauty, which I have stolen: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025303974 . At some point I will come back and try and put a description on each of these links, but...not going to lie, it may be a while.

These are the only relevant CO statistics I could find. They were put out by Denver city gov't as part of a general report & not by any pro-or anti-pot group.

I will let them speak for themselves. If it is of sufficient interest, it would be easy but time-consuming to determine which of the changes are statistically significance (a series of simple proportion tests, one for each comparison, would do it).
