This year, as Thomas Mitchell noted, both the DPD and Smart Colorado dialed down the scare tactics (in contrast to an agency in Florida).

Who knows? Maybe it was the anti-legalization crowd that passed out infused candy, trying to get the public pissed off. I would not put it past them. Conservatives will often do anything to win.
