Полный красноречивой статистики #драгз_мастрид о последствиях легалайза в Колорадо.
"It has been almost four years since Colorado passed Amendment 64, legalizing cannabis for personal use, and 2 and a half years since the first shops opened. We are no longer completely in the dark about the effects that legalization has had and should start using this state's example when thinking about further legalization efforts. One of the major arguments used by the opponents of cannabis legalization is that widespread availability will — almost naturally — trigger increased use among the population, especially amongst youth. Looking at available data from Colorado, it would appear this is not the case. The 2015 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey indicates that use among teenagers has hardly changed since the first retail store for recreational cannabis opened in Colorado in January 2014. This is in line with the findings of a previous study conducted shortly after legalization occurred in Colorado.
...
The survey further indicates that, in 2015, youth use in Colorado was even below the national average (see bar graph).
From a public health perspective, the biggest concern — the increase in youth consumption — has apparently remained stable. So, can we say that legalization, two and a half years into the project, has been a success in other areas as well? From a financial perspective, it seems so. Colorado imposes a 2.9% sales tax on medical and recreational cannabis as well as an additional 10% sales tax as well as a 15% excise tax on recreational cannabis. According to the latest figures published by the Colorado Department of Revenue:
-In April 2016 alone, the revenue from cannabis taxation, licensing and fees amounted to USD 17,183.162 (of which only USD 1,145.069 was retrieved from the sales of medical cannabis), compared to USD 10,617.311 in April 2015.
-Between April 2015 and April 2016, the state earned USD 142.218,370, compared to USD 91,068,724 during the previous year. This marks an increase of 56.2%.

Ваш вечерний #секс_мастрид на тему "Является ли полиамория сознательным выбором человека?".
Мастрид о том, почему "Pokémon Go" - это не просто модная игрушка, а предвестник наступления будущего, в котором мы все будем жить в Augmented Reality.
"Augmented reality begins with Pokémon. It begins as a toy. But it won’t remain a toy. It’s going to become an industry, a constant, a coping mechanism, a way of life. It will change how we spend our time, how we compete for status, how we interact with our loved ones. It will change the behaviors we think of as normal — already we’re seeing Pokémon Go run into racism; it won’t be long until AR cuts across other fault lines in our society".
Кстати, кто-нибудь знает, где в Москве можно поймать Пикачу?)
