“Police in Tacoma, Wash., aren’t ready to retire their four-footed marijuana sniffers. ‘There are several instances where marijuana is still illegal,’ says officer Loretta Cool. ‘If you are under 21, you cannot possess marijuana. If you have more than an ounce, it’s illegal.’ But half an hour north in Seattle, police have stopped teaching drug dogs to recognize pot. ‘There’s constant training to make sure their sniffers are up to snuff, where we use real drugs from evidence and a dog is rewarded for sniffing it out,’ says Sergeant Sean Whitcomb, a spokesman for the Seattle Police Department. ‘Marijuana is not something they are training on—that skill is no longer being reinforced.'”
