Hi koan; Re: "Despite dire predictions, Denver crime falls over 10 percent in wake of pot legalization";

Denver's crime rate goes up and down by amazing amounts:



city-data.com

With data that noisy, you'll have to wait decades to see a real 10% difference. Probably it's safe to say that legalizing marijuana didn't cause the crime rate to double, but with such a high variance, the confidence intervals are going to be huge.

I wonder why they change so much.
