Many Police Chiefs support decrim A new survey released by The National Association of Chiefs of Police says that 28 percent of them support decrim for "soft drugs" like marijuana.
There's a disconnect here, however, as only 22 percent of them see the drug war as successful. Maybe the other 72 percent who don't support decrim support broader legalization.
Here's the revelvant summary:
War on Drugs: Forty-one percent of police commanders surveyed said they believe marijuana should be available for medicinal purposes and 68.9 percent said they've seen an increase in the abuse of prescription drugs such as Oxycontin and other Schedule II drugs. Only 22 percent of police commanders believe the war on drugs has been successful, while 28 percent said they favored decriminalization of "soft drugs" such as marijuana.
