America Has a Marijuana Problem—Colorado Proved It

The New York Times just did the most shocking thing imaginable: they admitted America has a marijuana problem—and they’re walking back years of editorial-board cheerleading for legalization. And as someone who grew up in Colorado (ground zero for recreational weed), I’m sitting here like… where have you people been?

Today, we’re reading through the NYT’s own words, breaking down what they got right, what they still got wrong, and why this conversation matters right now in 2026—when THC isn’t 1–3% anymore, it’s 30%+ in joints and up to 90–95% in concentrates.

We’re talking cannabis-induced psychosis, schizophrenia risk, lung damage, addiction, and the real-world public policy fallout Colorado has lived through for more than a decade: traffic deaths, ER visits, increased use among youth, and laughable tax revenue that wasn’t remotely worth the cost.

If you’ve been told “it’s harmless” or “I can stop anytime,” this episode is your reality check.
