But then he loses the +Police vote

Does the +Police vote even care that much about marijuana anymore? I feel that marijuana won the cultural war forever ago, it's just that it takes a long time for political change to follow.

I think on deeper levels it does, because it is going to mean a drastic slash of municipal personnel currently involved with bureaucratic processes, meaning fewer jobs and less money for a whole division of government spending. What's your take?

A double digit bump would be, at worst, 10%. 160 million people voted in 2020, so 16 million. There are just under 1 million police sworn officers in the US, so I’m gonna take a guess that this is a worthwhile electoral trade-off for Biden.
