A lobbyist for key police associations in the state called it "a bad idea whose time has not come."
"The last thing our society needs is yet more legal intoxicants," said John Lovell, who represents the California Peace Officers' Association, California Police Chiefs Association and California Narcotic Officers' Association. "We've got enough social problems now when people aren't in charge of all five of their senses."
That's bullshit. People are getting high whether it's legal or not.
Being under the influence of cannabis poses much less of a threat than being under the influence of alcohol.
But I'm not surprised cops are not backing this, some of them might be out of a job if this passes.
