I’d rather have cops fighting real criminals than going after potheads who are otherwise committing no real crimes.

Which really isn't the case. Pot arrests usually come after someone is stopped for breaking some other law.

So as long as they are prosecuted for breaking the other law, what's the problem?

As I said before, someone who is getting high but breaking no other laws isn't a danger to anyone else and should not be prosecuted simply for getting high.

Civil forfeiture is a nightmare, and there are more than plenty of examples. A violation of the 4th Amendment in my opinion.
