Del - I don't know where you or the other posters (newbies at that) seem to be going with this, but there are large differences between:
medical marijuana - legal with limitations
adult personal use - illegal but sorta OK with the County, but not Feds
lowest law enforcement priority - illegal, but still small amounts not worth it to the County to go after and relates back to adult personal use
drug dealers - illegal with County, State and Feds
If I have read all the laws correctly, the lowest law enforcement priority deals with adult personal use and not people that grow large amounts for the primary purpose of resale, who would be true drug dealers and tend to have large amounts of cash and often have weapons.
I have not followed up (yet) on all arrests made by this former officer, but were all of them marijuana-related or other drugs such as ice, crack, cocaine, etc. as well?
