With marijuana legalized in Michigan, what can we expect?
The former U-S Attorney in Colorado offers a sobering view.
Robert Troyer has watched the marijuana industry in Colorado. Troyer tells U-S Attorney Matthew Schneider on WJR,
“The fast and prolific growth of marijuana will weave into the fabric of everyday life. Advertising, retail shops and dispensaries, you’ll smell it, people from other states will come in to get into the business or to smoke pot. It will also affect businesses and the workplace.”
Former U-S Attorney Troyer says tax revenue has not kept up with other expenses related to legal marijuana in Colorado, with increased demands on law enforcement and regulations.
Troyer says traffic fatalities connected to smoking pot have increased 151 percent. Marijuana became legal in Colorado in 2014.
