(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 29, 2015 ) Denver, CO -- It's been 17 months since Colorado legalized marijuana for legal consumption, and the data trickling in to account for marijuana related hospitalizations has increased by 50-70 percent, according to Gazette Net on June 13th. There has also been an increase of drivers operating a vehicle while under the influence of marijuana. Andrew Freedman, Colorado's director of marijuana coordination attests the rise of marijuana related hospitalizations to medical professional's willingness to ask about marijuana, as patients would be more willing to admit to its use in light of legalization. Freedman proposes increased hospitalization does not necessarily correlate to marijuana usage. The statistics gleaned for marijuana hospitalizations also include any patients who admitted to using marijuana- even if the drug was not the cause of admittance. Drug and Alcohol Rehab Denver is an addiction treatment facility catering to the entire state of Colorado. The treatment center asserts the need for continual education and prevention efforts to remain paramount for marijuana awareness.
In 2014 taxes from marijuana sales totaled $63 million. Freeman is quoted by Gazette Net, "The reason to tax is to create a solid regulatory system- it's not to pay for fun things you want to pay for," Thus far, Colorado reports having major success with regulating marijuana and restricting sales to persons under the age of 21. An associate from Drug and Alcohol rehab Denver comments, "Akin to any addictive substance, like alcohol, proper prevention and education efforts must be made, especially in states where marijuana is legal for recreational use. Marijuana use disorders are not reported as frequently as they manifest. 17% of marijuana smokers become addicted to the substance physically and mentally, requiring drug rehabilitation and treatment.
"Although it's not typically revered as such, marijuana is an addictive substance with the potential for health complications should over-consumption and subsequent addiction occur."
