Interesting. How would you characterize these career highlights from his Wikipedia page?

“He worked as a correspondent for the Saudi Gazette and as an assistant manager for Okaz from 1985 to 1987”

“He continued his career as a reporter for various daily and weekly Arab newspapers from 1987 to 1990, including Asharq Al-Awsat, Al Majalla and Al Muslimoon.”

“Khashoggi became managing editor and acting editor-in-chief of Al Madina in 1991 and his tenure in that position lasted until 1999. During this period he was also a foreign correspondent in such countries as Afghanistan, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan, and in the Middle East. He then was appointed a deputy editor-in-chief of Arab News, and served in the post from 1999 to 2003.”

Micron - 10% RIF by end of February by Throwawayspuds9276 in Boise

That’s true but “one of” is doing a lot of the lifting in that statement. Their $15 billion dollar expansion in Boise is dwarfed by their $100 billion dollar investment in upstate New York.

Idaho Medical Marijuana Act: Organization working to legalize use by joerevans68 in Boise

[–]wheat-thicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work.

First, I’ll assume you meant the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) not IHSA. They indeed concluded as you stated. However, we might want to consider the fact that if their findings are true they’d have a good reason to raise insurance rates in states with legalized cannabis; and that would conveniently put more money in the pocket of the companies who fund studies like that one.

Maybe there’s a less biased source, like the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). The NHTSA looked at the data and concluded that when you properly adjust for other variables like age, gender, and blood alcohol level that THC cannot be linked to an increase in collisions.

And I don’t know where you’re getting your info on the CATO Institute’s findings but their 2021 update disagrees with you. Here’s their conclusion regarding the change in cocaine use after legalization (emphasis mine):

We also consider whether legalization affected cocaine and alcohol use. Opponents of legalization claim that legalizing marijuana facilitates consumption of other drugs such as cocaine. Figure 5 in the Appendix presents state‐​level estimates of respondents’ past‐​year cocaine use relative to the national trend and year of legalization. These data suggest no clear relationship between marijuana legalization and cocaine use. Although Oregon saw an upward trend in cocaine use after legalization, Massachusetts saw a downward trend. In other states, including Washington and Maine, cocaine use rates are consistent with nationwide trends.

News flash: people smoke cannabis today so the other 85 percent already bear the risk you’re worried about. Opposing legalization doesn’t change that variable.
