One of the consequences of decriminalization is that people who would have had to make a hard choice of rehab or jail, and would have a chance to get out of that cycle, don't have to make that that hard choice. I've heard this from the old Sac Co Sheriff and numerous officers. They were not talking about increasing prison numbers but rather getting someone to change the poor direction of their life. I suppose this "gigging" to turn a junkie's life around is a bad thing?
So now CA has likely 100K plus feral junkies running free range, stealing, robbing, etc., without consequence making life shitty for the rest.
That said, CA voted for this stupidity and that says something about democracy vs republic.
A LEO can pull you over while driving down the road and, if you are drunk, has the tools to gather the evidence to show you F'd up. Those tools are not in place yet for weed. Accordingly, with today's everyone is racist climate, I understand why CA cops are hesitant on stops without the tools. That said I'll wager more than 50% of this board has been behind some jackass or jackasses driving like GTA with a trail of weed smoke behind. Anyone who thinks that this is good is nuts.
