Illinois police’s dog-killing argument against legalizing pot

Illinois police have a novel threat against legalizing pot:

The training director of a police K-9 academy in Illinois claims that if the state legalizes recreational marijuana, it will likely have to euthanize "a number" of its pot-sniffing dogs, The Pantagraph reports.

My thought is that it would give them a break from killing civilian dogs. But then, all dogs should be kept safe from the police.
