The graph is pretty cleverly constructed. It has a high, a low, and an average over an arbitrary period of time (2002-2014, 12 years?). And then it specifically lacks a baseline number (2012) or reference numbers (what about just individual data plotted on a line graph by year?)
Basically, we don't know what the trend is. Was it already decreasing before legalization?
Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-legalization. The data in this article is just being very carefully presented, which leads me to be suspicious of its "findings" and associations.
