In the US, most legalization started with ballot initiatives initiated by activists. California's medical marijuana; and Colorado and Massachusetts 100% legalization, were all direct ballot initiatives.
The states control most of the policing anyway, so legalization at the state level basically makes federal drug laws difficult to enforce.
Are there popular ballot initiatives in the UK? (Ok, there was Brexit.) But, can you do something in your town like, "The town police shall treat marijuana laws as their lowest priority." or "The town police shall not enforce marijuana laws or cooperate with county police on marijuana enforcement?"
