The Cato report unfortunately did not go into arrests. It may seem like stating the obvious, but from what I see, that's one area where there legalization has been significant impact. Even in states like Colorado which are less racially diverse than some, arrests have decreased a lot and court filings have plummeted. (See: http://cdpsdocs.state.co.us/ors/docs/reports/2016-SB13-283-Rpt.pdf http://cdpsdocs.state.co.us/ors/docs/reports/2016-SB13-283-R...) A policy which has no significant impact, except to stop law enforcement from wasting time on trivialities, is fine by me.
