As someone in Canada it has been almost impossible to notice the difference since legalization, one thing that has been apparant though is that cops now have one less reason to "harass" kids and low-income people. Now that they don't need to waste time over small possession, not only does it free up their time but it also improves the view of police for these social groups because that negative interaction is no longer necessary. Between that and a fairly young drinking age there are very few reasons for a teenager to develop a fear of police.
