    I never really heard of police/crime incidents in my hometown involving weed before or after weed became legal in Washington. So I’d assume there really hasn’t been a noticable change, which is still better than the fear mongering that crime will increase upon legalizing weed.

      In illegal times and places, getting busted for weed is/was so common it only made the news when celebrities are/were caught. Can’t much speak to the here and now, but I grew up in (suffice to say) an earlier decade of the illegal era, and dope busts were incredibly common.
