TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, breaks down the real numbers behind cannabis and crime. Hosted by Shadd Dales, this episode explains the “four shocks” that upend years of assumptions: plummeting arrest rates, stable violent crime trends, improved clearance rates, and how closing dispensaries in some cities led to more neighborhood crime.The data come directly from peer-reviewed studies and government reports. Colorado recorded a 68% drop in marijuana arrests since 2012. Washington State saw adult possession convictions fall to near zero. Nationally, violent and property crime rates show no measurable increase tied to legalization, while low-level drug arrests have sharply declined.Overall, the evidence points to significant changes in enforcement priorities and criminal justice outcomes—but not the surge in crime many predicted. Arrests are down, conviction rates are minimal, and police resources are being redirected toward higher-level threats. The trend lines are consistent across multiple jurisdictions and time periods, showing that legalization reshaped enforcement patterns more than it changed community safety itself.#CannabisInFive #Dutchie #CannabisResearch #CrimeRates #CannabisLegalization #ShaddDales #CannabisPolicy #ColoradoCannabis #WashingtonState #CannabisNewsWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos? • Raj Grover’s Plan for Global Expansion | T... • Medical Cannabis Cuts Opioid Prescriptions... • Could Massachusetts Reverse Legal Cannabis... • Big Change Is Coming to Cannabis Over the ...
