I can't wait to see the statistics for Colorado and Washington. Not only for reduced traffic accidents, but for overall crime reduction, tax revenue, and money save by not arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating people for marijuana. It's going to make it pretty hard for politicians in other states to argue against it.
