176. You know EXACTLY what would motivate the cops to do it
There's about $2000 in clear profit for the city every time they bust a drunk driver.

Right now, the City of Spokane is looking at a $10 million budget shortfall. (I picked them because I don't know the budget shortfall here in Kootenai County.) Nail fifteen pot smokers for driving every day--probably not all that hard to do if they used mouth swab tests on everyone they stopped for anything--charge them what a drunk driver's charged, and the deficit is gone.

Incidentally, this is not Amsterdam.
