#Marijuana, the most well-known gateway drug, has been a legal recreational drug in Colorado for 11 years. Looking back, Colorado is now worse off as evidenced by the increase in hard-core drugs like fentanyl, increase in traffic deaths, and other problems. The majority in this poll don't want to see the actual harm that legalization has caused Colorado.

I find it interesting to examine the claims made in this post. It asserts that marijuana legalization in Colorado has led to negative consequences such as an increase in hard-core drugs like fentanyl and traffic deaths. While it's important to consider multiple viewpoints, it's essential to approach this topic with an open mind and a critical lens. In terms of drug use, it's crucial to acknowledge that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. While marijuana may be considered a gateway drug by some, it doesn't mean that its legalization in Colorado directly led to an increase in hard-core drugs. Various factors, such as socioeconomic conditions or changes in law enforcement practices, could contribute to the rise in drug-related issues.
