When telling others they're fooled easily, do check your assertions first, otherwise you look like an ass!

7.8/100,000 -> 8.7/100,000 is an 11% uptick in the number of deaths by suicide. I'm not saying that that's even remotely related to weed.

There is a 20% drop in overdose - that's not -0.6% no matter how you shake it - that's -0.6 deaths per 100k - which in absolute terms means the OD rate per cap has shifted from 0.003% to 0.0024% - so actually a 0.0006% change in the overall rate - but a 20% delta. It's -23.3% for 2010 -> 2012.
