WHAT?!? 😕
You think police would turn a blind eye to a bust?
You must be smoking some very strong stuff!
[list=1]Only time I've heard the Police turn a blind eye is (sometimes) when
they think it was an honest and simple mistake when the paperwork they'll have to do is worse than the offense no government body is willing to pay for the person to be in jail when that person is fairly politically connected[/list]

4) there are children involved
5) they simply want someone off the street
There are so many people in this country using pot for medicinal purposes alone that the police don't have the time or inclination to chase all these people down to make an insignificant bust for simple possession.
And then there are the millions of recreational users.
Just numbers wise turning a blind eye is pretty much essential or law enforcement would be doing a good impression of a dog chasing his tail.
Plus throw in the fact that most court systems don't want to be overloaded with simple possession cases.
