Totally agree: Even if it doesn't intentionally target certain demographics, in effect some demographics do get checked more often and you cannot excuse that with "but that lot is more unsafe" unless you back it up with hard data, which I guess doesn't exist.
If somebody is a danger they really should be checked out, and the focus on weed is also probably leading to a lot of bias, driving while drunk/merely not paying any attention whatsoever/with expired license/insurance is probably a lot more common.

All I'm saying is that if our law makers friends, families and colleagues were targeted in proportion to drug intake rather than demographics of race or welfare things would be a lot fairer.... but there's a class of people who despite being rampant drug / drink drivers are not systemically pulled over. Which I'm aware is stating the obvious but it really pisses me off.
My port wine faced uncle habitually drives way over the limit - cos the law doesn't apply to him.
