More evidence just in that Marijuana is Safer. On March 3, 2012 an article in the Wall Street Journal tells us that states which have legal medical marijuana (just medical!) saw an overall 8.7 percent drop in car accident fatalities between 1990 and 2009. This was in direct relation to a decrease in deaths that could be attributed to alcohol consumption. Proving once again, that if people have legal access to marijuana they will make safer, better decisions.

Great, good for them for compiling more scientific evidence of something marijuana advocates have been saying, with plenty of science to back them up, for decades! Marijuana provides many direct health benefits for people as well as many more externalized benefits (such as decreases in alcohol related fatalities) which society could enjoy if it would just get its head out of its ass long enough to legalize. There is overwhelming evidence, how much more do we need? Its time to do the right thing now and legalize.
