Former narcotics officer: We terrorized families over a bag of pot.

A former Texas narcotics officer recently sat down with HuffPost Live to explain why he turned against the drug war.

“A couple of times I raided a home and there were two kids in the home, scared, we terrorized the family, and it’s for a bag of pot,” Barry Cooper said Tuesday. “Searching the house, I noticed the kids had straight ‘A’ report cards, the parent’s checkbook was balanced, and I realized that something was amiss, something was really bad.”

“I put it together years later, after I started smoking pot,” he confessed. “You know, a lot of people report that the use of that medication helps a person self-reflect. And, wow, the veil came off and then I started doing the real research for myself instead of believing the propaganda. And I cried for a year after I found out the truth and what I had been involved in.”

After abandoning his law enforcement career, Cooper produced the documentary Never Get Busted, which explained how to hide marijuana from police. The release of the film led to a highly accusatory Fox News interview, which has since been prominently featured on Never Get Busted‘s website.

More proof for why weed should be decriminalized and even made legal. Most people don't even know what its effects are and they're only against it because they are highly misinformed.

You've mistaken marijuana for alcohol.

Cannabis doesn't kill braincells. I bet you've never even smoked weed.

Do you purposefully try and come across so narrow-minded?

Thats not what I was told by a full time stoner, and no, I never have, and never will, bad for your lungs either way. :-)

A full time stoner is not a scientist who has conducted actual experiments and research into the effects of Cannabis on the brain. Edibles and vaporizers solve the potential lung damage, by the way.

Squeak is right, through oral administration or vaporization, any physical negative effects of cannabis are basically eliminated. Smoking it has negligible effects on the lungs - even if you're planning on staying high all day every day, you need only to smoke once every 1-3 hours depending on the bud. The only effect cannabis (and other cannabinoids, if you're dumb and use synthetics like me) has on the brain is that it downregulate the CB receptors, something we call tolerance.
