Lets see, a German court let off a cannibal on a murder charge because the eaten person "asked for it"...and how many elderly folk died of heat exposure in France last summer?
You can't point to one thing in any legal/social system and demean a whole society by it. That's ignorant and unfair. The same thing here, with COPS (which is bullshit...you should be watching something better, imho).
The theory (with the street busts) is that (as somebody else pointed out) the pushers all group in areas where people buy. If they bust the pushers, they're out on the streets in 24 hours (they have a lot of money to buy lawyers). If they arrest the buyers, it dries up the money for the pushers and the dealers move on to other locales. These aren't national police, they're local police, and their job is to get rid of the pushers from THEIR neighborhoods, not a whole country.
Grass should be legal, of course. In fact, I think all drugs should be legal (or at least handled like Europe handles it), however those street cops are just doing their jobs. And they don't get paid shit for doing it.
Okay, end of diatribe.
