He needs to get with the times. If Federal Law is changing and so is local and State laws, than the pd needs to enforce the laws as they are. Marijuana is just not a big deal to people. It is helping a lot of people with illness and deal with life. I forsee some day it becomes entirely legal, any amount and taxed like cigarettes and alcohol. The U.S. has pretty much poured billions of dollars into this fight against it and for what ? Now they are legalizing it. The big thing is for it to be managed and taxed. The war must continue for the more destructive drugs that cause people to become violent and ruin their lives. Alcohol arguably is much more destructive to society than marijuana. But, you're right he just wants to lock up as many people not thinking that the courts are just going to release them anyways. People aren't staying in jail. They get out on probation due to it being too costly to jail people. Even people who do serious crimes are getting out early. That I don't agree with.
