In my country the police had huge issues with the legalization. When scientists analyzed their points, it came apparent that police officers do not like the policing work very much. They focused mostly on drug related crimes and specifically the bottom end. That enabled them to boast about their effectivity in such a crime riddled word.

It's easier to bully a stoner into a confession. That way you detect a crime AND solve it. That's one more point in their book.

The police is simply there for the everyday terror each citizen has to feel to be productive. I don't mind them, it's the system we all agreed on. But I don't have to like them one bit.
