"According to a study from The Texas Law Dog, states that have legalized recreational marijuana are seeing a clear uptick in car crash fatalities, highlighting the urgent need for effective regulations."
"A 6% increase in crash rates and a 4% jump in fatal collisions have been observed in states where marijuana is legal, with Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, and California experiencing even higher increases."

The Texas Law Dog study reveals that a significant portion of cannabis users drive soon after consumption, exacerbating road safety issues amid ineffective regulations.
