Legalizing weed hurts kids but it's great for making money: Colorado edition

After legalizing weed Colorado saw an explosion of weed related illness in children.  The number of kids treated went from 161  a year prior to legalization to 777 a year after legalization.

But the state made $266 million from taxes, fees, etc on the weed industry so in the minds of Democrats it's all fine.

Study after study have shown that moderate weed usage by adults isn't a big issue but that usage by kids can lead to serious mental health issues.  The problem is exacerbated by the fact that weed growers have managed to produce plants that have much much higher levels of THC--the chemical that gets people high--than the plants that people smoked in the last century had access to.

Once again Democrats support hedonism no matter what the cost.
