Researchers came to this conclusion after comparing monthly crime rates in Colorado and Washington to those of 21 states that haven't legalized pot for medical or recreational use.
A study analyzing crime rates in Colorado and Washington suggests legalizing recreational marijuana has a minimal effect on crime rates, if any.
However, if a new study is anything to go by, this drop in crime is not consistent. In Colorado and Washington, legalizing recreational use of the drug appeared to have little to no effect on the number of violent and property crimes. The state of Colorado was one of the first to legalize marijuana. Citizens took to the polls on November 6 2012 to vote on a ballot initiative that would permit possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for those 21 and older. The two states were chosen as subjects because they were the first to legalize the recreational use of marijuana and the industry that supports it, passing laws to that effect in 2012.
