After reading a Jacob Sullum article in Reason (link) I used the linked data for States that had repealed marijuana prohibition(link) and added the year of repeal. Whether you sort by repeal year or direction of percentage change, the results show that for the 17 states that repealed pot prohibition all but 3 repealed starting the year the LP’s 4.3 million votes redealt 127 electoral vote outcomes in 13 states. The largest drops in poisonings occurred in the states that most recently repealed prohibition. This is evidence of pent-up demand for harmless drugs like weed and psychedelics. It is also evidence that the Dems copied LP weed policy after being beaten with the help of LP spoiler votes in 2016. Learning from experience saves lives.(link)

The only two Republican States to achieve repeal were Alaska, worst with a 42% increase in drug poisoning deaths, and Missouri, near the opposite end of the spectrum with a 17.5% decrease. *-*-*
