Comments on: Ex-Cop Gives Tips On How To Hide Drugs

Former Texas Drug Cop Makes Video Titled 'Never Get Busted Again'

xenalily,
You don't see the connection between alcohol and cocaine? Why do you think our president did cocaine. Once you get really drunk if you do cocaine it levels you out and counteracts the downer. If you honestly believe cocaine isnt rampant in the bars than you are living in a fantasy world. Anybody else out there going to back me up on this one?

All you anti-pot liberals make me sick.
and super cop...what a genius that guy is.
America has gone to hell in a bucket because of people like you. People that can't ever see two sides of the story. MY way or the highway types.

To td1138td: Yes it is my business and every other citizen when innocent people are hurt, maimed, killed. When loaded persons neglect their kids, miss work, get hurt and then expect the rest of us to subsidize their medical bills and cut them from their car, treat their injuries, support their kids, counsel their family and all the other things society has to pay for. We do not, as a nation, need another drug of choice out there for some idiot that can't do without to use......society has way too many problems without adding another.

It outrages me everytime I hear of more of my money being wasted to prosecute and incarcerate otherwise law-abiding citizens because they use a relatively harmless substance like marijuana. A substance, by the way, far less harmful than alcohol, which is perfectly legal.

Do we need a drug like marijuana to be legal again? Not the point and not your business. I have the right to use whatever substance I want, whether recreationally or medically. And law enforcement should spend their time going after REAL criminals.

I had a similar problem with a local chief of police when I offered to teach defensive tactics and techniques to a group of teenagers. He just wouldn't allow it. Why? Because they might use the techniques to protect themselves from his police officers, of which I was one. Go figure...

There's nothing new to figuring out a way to hide things from the police so this fellow isn't giving away classified secrets so he is really just making a political statement to which I agree. The police have enough violent crime where people are getting hurt and killed to worry about and people getting intoxicated on a different substance from their neighbors shouldn't even be on the list.

People driving while intoxicated is a different but related subject but it doesn't matter what intoxicant they use but that they get behind the wheel and we need to do something to stop that before they get stopped the hard way.

To blahblahbla5: While in principle I agree with you, that what you do in your house is your business, most users don't confine their use to their house. They do it while driving down the road, in concerts and movies and other public places where people that have no desire to use are. Do we really need another substance that causes a user to be less than their best? Isn't alcohol enough of a problem in the US? Drunk driving kills way too many innocent people each year and to legalise one more substance that is going to be abused makes no sense. But personally I'd like to legalise all drugs and give them away free to users, in a pure form, and let the Darwin principle tale its toll.

BTW, thanks Bayless. That's a very nice thing to say.

I also find it interesting how the ad hominems fly when the prohibitionists' argument for continuing to lock up people for their consensual behaviors is directly questioned - David Koresh, "take another bong hit," "eat some cheetos," et cetera. And then even joking about jailing this guy for simply speaking his mind? You should be ashamed.

I find it sad how far from the intent of the Founders of this country we have wandered.

This quote, attributed to Abraham Lincoln, sums things up nicely:

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

Another great site for people to educate themselves:

"Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in Our Free Country"

First, it's funny how the prohibitionists on this discussion board spend their time trying to impugn this guy's motives. Again, there's 100 different ways this guy can make much money besides making this video, and I'm sure it's not worth the abuse from the small-minded authoritarians and big-government nanny-pushers out there.

And so what if he does make a few bucks? He deserves at least a modest return on what he does. He didn't sign up to be a saint, I don't think he should be. Prohibitionists make money for locking up parents and family members for consensual possession of marijuana, and he should make money for preventing it.

Second, what is this NONSENSE about "aiding and abetting the destruction of the American nervous system"???? What in the holy hell does that mean? We don't *HAVE* a collective nervous system, and no one is in charge of my nervous system except me.

If you don't like drugs, don't do them. I accept that the rules need to be different for children (e.g., those under 18), but there is simply no reason to be regulating the private, consensual behavior of adults in their own homes. If I want to grow a crop in my windowbox, no one should have any say about it.

This is clearly a scam to make money. I don't think he's going to donate the money made from the DVD to the ACLU, so don't give me that civil liberties bull****!

Also, the "war on drugs" is like the war in Iraq: who's the real enemy? what is victory? when will it ever end? Meanwhile, we pour endless taxpayer funds into the military/police to fight the on-going wars.
