Cowboy cop wants Drug War ended

[Lepiratepoulpe]

Yeeee Haaaa!

I smoke a big cone to his honnor.

[tenthousandyearsgoon]

wow these audience members look really serious LOL!

[Ozzyzzo76]

I dont do Drugs, but can you Walk the Walk instead of Talk the Talk?

[mega032]

Mr Woolridge our youth thanks you!! Continue doing what you're doing GREAT JOB!!

[TOXIC00L]

A few good reasons to keep it illegal.

the drug cartels will still sell it.A

re you people stupid enough to think they will just give up?

That gangs will stop selling once the cops can't bug them?

You "Retarded" people actually believe making one of their drugs legal will stop or even cripple them?

If you do then the bullets they use will lead back to you. blood on your hands not the govts.

[Dom24seven]

@TOXIC00L well legalizing drugs (all drugs) would mean that you can go to every pharmacy and get drugs much easier and cheaper than from a dealer. and its guaranteed to be the right amount and real stuff (no getting f**ked over) so no one would want to go to some broken down P.O.S. house and buy drugs from some one who they don't know or can't trust. this would END drug dealers... period

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven

indeed it would also mean that just like cigs and booze,

they would all be able to kill you at one point or another if they couldn't already.

besides nobody wants to see a crackhead getting a fix from the govt.

[Dom24seven]

@TOXIC00L why not? if it means that the world would be much safer for the children, and the govt. could tax these drugs! and marijuana alone would bring in BILLIONS of dollars every year in taxes. this would end the economic problems in the united states. also the legalization would allow hemp to be used for fuel in vehicles. (btw hemp oil is twice as strong as oil from corn) on top of that all these young people in jail for some drug whatever would be released, also saving the govt. a ton of $

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven no it wouldn't and you know as well as i,

that as long as america is a "super power" there will never be

a "safe place" or "world peace" for anyone.

school dealers sell their parents pharma drugs to other kids at school so it won't really be helping that situation.

[Dom24seven]

@TOXIC00L no i guess there not much you can do about that side of it but still there are sooo many pros of stopping this ridiculous waste of tax dollars that is getting NOWHERE  they completely out weigh any con of keeping the "war" going. and theres nothing you can say about that. you and i both know this "drug war" is completely useless!

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven

not really the govt and people of interest are profiting somewhere in the billions from the drug war. but thats tmi.

the war in the middle east is pointless but we already know america isn't balls enough to face the actual threat.

the ruler the homie the bro kim jong il.

americans went off the wall

over how the fake al queda supposedly had wmd's when

kji can fire off 12 nukes and america pretends like it didn't happen.

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven

then again it would be notice to have potheads finally stfu for a change.

yeah mainstream i love it the gop will love this idea just like with booze and cigs poison it to make it more addictive and sel it to the fools for double the price.

fyi no the prices won't go down because revenue would go down and it would just be another pointless govt experiment like lsd on troops.

[Dom24seven]

@TOXIC00L and if that crackhead is a working tax paying person of society who cares if he/shes a crack head???

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven

no because they never are.

a crackhead is one of the most self destructive subhuman minded things on the planet.

[Dom24seven]

@TOXIC00L what ever man in less the a few hours im gonna be sitting on the beach in turkey smoking a nice fat blunt. im not gonna waste my time trying to convince someone who is so blinded. and i disagree. a meth head would be the most self destructive person on the planet

[TOXIC00L]

@Dom24seven meth heads yeah those skinheads are on a different level more like genocidal+self destructive.

heroin addicts are the worst though.

[ghostdog7575]

@TOXIC00L in switzerland heroin addicts aro now not distinguishable from other common citizens. They just go to a clinic in the morning, get a shot (instead of methadone like in any other country) and don't bother anyone for moneys to get their fix! the result is that 1 year after they join the program 70% of them have a regular job and 50% of them pass spontaneously from maintenance terapy to gradual withdraw... Heroin is like other opioids, what makes it what it is is prohibition...

[TOXIC00L]

@ghostdog7575 hehe thats not really saying much.

ive seen other citizens there.

and 50 percent is still a fail in this whole test area so i think prohibition is the best situation here.

[ghostdog7575]

@TOXIC00L 50% is a fail... 0% plus thousands of deaths and million dollars in taxes is what???

[TOXIC00L]

@ghostdog7575 thats life pal,

or death but you know what i mean.

[TOXIC00L]

@ghostdog7575 well lets see thats to balance out the money the dealers are getting which say it with me now is somewhere in the billion region so piss off.

[capone6080]

@TOXIC00L ya your really smart hopefully some hero cop sets you up and you end up in the slammer for a couple years. Then report back and tell us how wonderful you think the drug laws are then moron.

[TOXIC00L]

@capone6080 lol imbecile.

if a cop ever crosses me its the day his badge gets shoved up his arse by his cellmates.

because the only reason a cop would deal with me is in the nazi occupation esque

phoenix"show me your papers" arizona.

as for ending up in jail not gonna happen but whatever you wish upon me will happen to you tenfold.

[TOXIC00L]

@capone6080 hero cop?(again with this)

oh yeah you cocksuckers need to stop defaming my name by overusing hero cops aren't heroes military aren't heroes drug dealers/cartels aren't heroes you aren't a fucking hero.

so you and your entire spectrum of fuck ups should stop it.

[TOXIC00L]

@capone6080 lets see drug laws are not affected by jail time hell id probably get off of jail time

if i do what they did to that fat dealer in the burbs a while back.

if you haven't heard of it then you too may share the same fate.

[howardwooldridge]

thank you all for your kind words. I now fight the dragons in Washington DC. riding across America was easier! howard

[samherf]

you are awesome!

thanx 4 fighting for the people of america not the government who obviously just wants our cash for "wars" on unkillable "monsters"!

[howardwooldridge]

you are welcome. From those who are given much, much is expected. that is my life...howard

[Domzdream]

5 Stars! I wholeheartedly agree on the legalisation of drugs. People should decide what they want to do with their spare time (within their own houses).

[mavraek]

Thank You for what You are doing.

[hmetalcowboy]

great speech!

[OctoBox]

More people die from aspirin then they do crack on a yearly basis -- more than heroine -- more than extacy -- more than crystal meth; actually more than all of these combined!!

His numbers on the costs are off it's closer to $9Trillion -- you have to factor in all opportunity costs (direct and indirect taxation and fiat spending), departmental costs, prisons, lost wages of those "users" who have been incarcerated, the entire yearly budget of DEA, and the cost of the Afgan Wars (poppi fields)

[presentview321]

Good point.

[renegade1179]

I agree with the last comment. Its the exact same thing that has gone on in the 30's with alcohol prohibition. I've seen a chart how murder rates sky rocketed in the 30's from prohibition. And since it was abolished until the 70's murder rates dropped. Now ever since the 70's with this war on drugs, homicide rate has jumped off the chart.

[Forgetful929]

the drug dealers are the ones who don't want drugs to be legal, if drgs became legal people wouldn't buy the drugs from the streets anymore, crime would end. so basically this prohibition is helping the dealers make major bucks.

[ZamatoElite]

Unfortunately, these street dealers have practically no influence in political matters. And they would actually prob do better if drugs were legalized.

The real people pushing for drug prohibition is the LEGAL drug dealers. It's the pharmaceutical, alcohol, and tobacco companies that are pushing to keep most drugs illegal. None of those companies want competition from the superior product. We call this a "Government Forced Monopoly." And you thought monopolies were dead in the early 90s!

[ddrfrk]

I would still buy from a dealer, due to if ti becomes legal then what you can buy would only be really expensive weed

[howardwooldridge]

You are mistaken. Legal weed would see the price drop close to 90% One can grow legal weed for 35/ounce in an indoor growops...why would you keep paying 400/ounce?

[ddrfrk]

Yeah I've figured that out by now. Heh decriminilization is happening soon in South Carolina.

[zerogod420]

wooot shit face and high homie end this fucking retard war im mean retard.

[SPACE3200]

Thats right "LEAP" or LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAINST PROHIBITION has formed I bet you ask why.

THIS JUST IN FROM THE AMERICAN MEDICAL MARIUANA ASSOCIATION....TOP STORY: PUTTING DRUG WAR CRIMINALS ON NOTICE: "JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS" IS NOT A VALID DEFENSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW.

[ChristianPeper]

I wish this "Cowboy" cop was the rule rather than the exception. The drug war will never end because it is the way the US government controls the population. America is already a classic police state. The American people like to lick the boots of "law enforcement". Being a slave is fun for Americans.

[Vikkoman]

Peper, if the U.S. was a police state, this "Cowboy" cop would not get to say what he wanted to say.

[DVincentW]

Marijuana is wholesome.

[clayLavl]

i like this guy alot. he totally makes sense! how refreshing. someone not afraid to tell the truth!

[JeyDrix]

have you heard of Ron Paul?

[ZamatoElite]

R'LOVE'LUTION

RON PAUL 2012!!!!

[edokyo]

hmm, he almost had me, till he said let the gov take care of it. secondly i can't even smoke a cigarette, and that's because of the wonderful gov this guy wants to let run every damn part of human life. yea, that's smart. i might be growing tobacco in the basement, till this guys friends come and shoot me. this is just more big gov swill, rolled up with notions of 'freedom', just like he said the gov is already doing. :/

[lowerself]

but the government regulates who can sell me tomatoes. noone's gonna let me talk to them about drug legalization without saying I will at least use the same form of regulation they use for alcohol.

[t666pax]

Ron Paul 2008!

[choomanfoo]

Join us on the world's longest running debate on drug prohibition!

"The Drug War Makes The Word Freedom Meaningless" at political crossfire

[thefakeyeti]

Did you get that quote from someone? Just googled it.. one result..

You guessed it.. Your comment.

[111oooo]

Check out the song "For Want of a High" here on YouTube.

[ReluctantRedneck]

Great common sense, great message.

[Sumduhmguy]

People have always and will always use drugs. This is a matter of government control over personal responsibility. If drugs are legalized, the drug culture will change. The government will benefit from the new tax income and the reduction in costs for "housing" people. There will be issues of course, there always are. No laws will ever end the human condition.

[xelalaw]

This guy is believable!  However, I can't believe I accidently pressed three stars instead of 6! That's what it deserves. Good quality production too. Simple.

[bubbathefelon]

i totally agree with you

[jabronyo]

right on omicronx9. CIA killed and tortured more people than Sadaam. USA is spending more money fighting drugs than poverty

[Nitrous909]

this fella speaks the truth

[zeuliani]

right on cowboy

[grayrobot]

It's a nice thought to put that money into more effective programs, I am all for it. But I wonder, what do we do with all the people we have already incarcerated for drug distribution?

Do we let them go? Say sorry? Pay Restitution? Face a century's worth of legal battles against the new program for all the people in prison for distribution *and* something else? The issue is very complicated and can't be sussed out in seven minutes.

[prsguru]

good points!

[folksisfolks]

Great job Bonnie!!!!

[sunnervillechoochoo]

This cowboy cop for President!

[omicronx9]

Lets fight a war on poverty, not a war on drugs. The DEA and CIA are responsible for more suffering than Saddam Hussein ever was.

[si13ntwarrior]

i never thought i would agree with a cop on a hourse in a cowboy hat, but here is the first time. thanks fo the post.

[Aaron518]

This is good but it could be better. He should also bring up that if we take the money thats spent on the "war on drugs" and instead put it into social programs and creat instead a War on Poverty then it would also have an astonishing impact. Whne people have good jobs and enough money to eat,can take care of their childern,clean respectable living conditions then you elimante the the need to sell drugs or commit crimes such as robery to take care of ones self.

[deabreu]

the worst thing is that USA enforces this stupidity towards weaker countries (just about the whole world), only making our conditions worse.

[blahinhawaii]

I don't use illegal drugs of any kind. But this drug war is obviously a war on the freedom of a minority. When one of us is persecuted by government, we have all lost much of our freedom. It's time to tell the truth. People who can't use alcohol or any other drug responsibly need hospitals not prisons. We let violent offenders out early to make room for hippies.

[imnotparanoiditstrue]

I could not have said it any better

[phatboyfromla]

The truth is out there. I'm thankful that we have these law enforcement folks out there spreading the word. Keep up the good fight. THANKS!!

[jacobody]

I hope people start listening before its too late

[realworldplayer]

It's already too late. The us government collpse is closer than you think.

[w0rldpeace]

It has nothing to do with "druggies" ... it has to do with a practical realistic sense of WTF is going on.

worldpeace,

ben

[GuineaPunk]

very nice. This guy says what millions of druggies have said for years, "legalize it"!
