While this is an ostensibly neutral collection of data, it reads to me very favorably about effects of legalization. Surprisingly even vehicle fatalities decreased significantly over the measured time period.

"violent crime increased 20% from 2012 to 2017"
If you graph the data presented in table 46, the increasing trend – specifically in violent crime since 2012 – becomes very clear.
I'm also not seeing any significant increase in insurance rates after my state ended prohibition, and the traffic fatalities and collisions haven't been significantly impacted.
What explanation do you propose for why cannabis legalization would lead to an increase in violent crime?
Anecdotally, the people I know who use marijuana drive high regularly and don’t think that doing so is dangerous, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
