You’d be forgiven for thinking that the vast majority of police officers would be against the decriminalisation of cannabis.

One of the things we’ve learned since various North American states like Massachusetts decided to take cannabis to the polls is the fact that legalization isn’t quite as quick and easy as it seems. Even in instances where recreational or medicinal cannabis romped home with a decisive victory in the vote, actually getting things up [...]
