Cops must not be very bright because this had been obvious for 30 years in recent times and was proved equally as obvious when the Temperence Movement (M.A.D.D.) demanded criminalization of alcohol, another collossal failure. I'm not pro drugs but you don't criminalize the possession and use, you criminalize with severe penalties any other behavior/crime in conjunction with it's use.

Delaware medical marijuana bill ready for Gov. Jack Markell By Doug Denison, Staff Writer Dover Post Posted May 11, 2011 @ 06:08 PM communitypub.com Dover, Del. — The Senate today lent final approval to legislation that would allow Delawareans suffering from serious medical conditions to posess up to six ounces of marijuana for theraputic use. Gov. Jack Markell said he will sign the bill into law. Senate Bill 17 passed the chamber last month with a vote of 18-3. The House also passed the legislation, but tacked on two amendments, triggering a second Senate vote. When the act becomes law, the state's Department of Health and Social Services will have 18 months to solicit applications and decide who will operate each of the three nonprofit marijuana dispensaries —one in each county—called for in the legislation. The dispensaries, called "compassionate care centers," will be allowed to grow marijuana under the careful watch of state inspectors, and distribute it to authorized patients and caregivers. Patients who are at least 18 years old and who suffer from severe medical conditions like AIDS and cancer will be issued state identification cards that will allow them to obtain marijuana from care centers and posess up to six ounces of the substance at a time. The marijuana must be prescribed by a doctor who has treated the patient for at least three months and who certifies that other treatment methods have been attempted unsucessfully. According to the legislation, doctors would not be required to prescribe marijuana to patients who requst it, nor would insurance companies be required to pay for the treatment. The legislation also creates an authorized caregiver designation, whereby a person could be allowed to obtain marijuana from dispensaries for as many as five patients who are unable to pick up thier mairjuana themselves.
