Have you ever heard of Barry Cooper?

So, have you? Ever heard of Barry Cooper? I never had and I can't believe I never had. He looks like a fairly cool dude, right? I'd ditch the joint for the photo myself, but, Barry is cute, at first glance. He looks like 70's dudes. Back when dudes had hair. He also looks stoned, which I always think is funny. But, Barry has many looks, many faces. Many.

I don't know if he's stoned or faking it. In fact, Barry is one dude I cannot figure out. But, I will take his side, because I think it's the right one. If I find out later that Barry is still a narcotics agent and all this is a scam by the ATF etc, oh well. I have nothing invested but some posts on the Internets. Yeah, I said narcotics agent. Barry worked for the police in the narcotics division for, I believe he said, eight years. He has been called the best narcotic agent in the state. He busted the hell out of a lot of people and sent a shitload of people to jail for non violent offenses. He was undercover and also in on the raids. One day, he woke up. He said that he suddenly realized the war on drugs was over and the government had lost. THAT, people, is something I've been saying for years, on here and in real. Barry realized that the agencies breaking down citizens door in the middle of the night, throwing flash grenades and firing high powered weapons into the houses, where children slept..is NOT right. Not when the adults in the house are suspected of nothing more than growing marijuana. Barry says this treatment of non violent offenders can be handled many other ways, than with violence. He says, we have to stop it. He resigned from the narcotics force and started a new way of life. Barry Cooper is now an open advocate and film maker in favor of legalizing all illegal drugs.

Okay, this might get long here. I have a friend who advocates the same thing. He says, everybody should be able to self medicate. He posts his beliefs on Face Book. Sometimes I want to hit him in private and say, dude! You're on parole! But, I know what he'd say..'Fuck 'em, I'm clean, they test me. All drugs should be legal. Let people decide what they want to self medicate with.' Now, see, I thought that was crazy. Drugs like Cocaine, Heroin, Crank, Crack, ect. ect. ect..are never going to be legal. And if you're going to think that they might be someday, then start with an obtainable goal. Like, support legalizing Marijuana, right? People aren't so scared of that anymore.You might actually get it done now. But, my friend says no, Marijuana's just a harmless herb, that should be a given, make all drugs legal. Let people decide for themselves. You know, I like the idea, kind of, but, seriously, how many people would stand up and say that?? I don't know anyone, except my friend, who isn't taking any illegal substances and is wearing a patch they test every week. He's got nuthin' to lose. He's already proved he can do the time anyhow. BTW, he lists his occupation on Face Book as 'License Plate Builder at Leavenworth'. He cracks me up.

But, then I found Barry Cooper by accident. I was checking out some Gorilla grows when I saw THIS. Never Get Busted Again, by Barry Cooper. I guess the dude sells these videos telling growers and sellers how to avoid getting popped and he knows these things because for eight years, he was the popper! I watched the whole thing. The secrets for growers are just common sense. I don't know anyone stupid enough to plant near water or leave trash on the grow site. But, I guess if you're a retard, it's good advice. His explanation of the planes and infrared cameras is really interesting. Most of us know how it works, we just don't know how to block it, other than a power outage every time you hear a low plane. Those planes ARE a bitch, let me tell you. If you don't have cammo on and a hiding spot already picked at every location, then you aren't in the right frame of mind. His advice to indoor growers is interesting, but, sometimes complicated. But, stoners like complicated. I don't. He also had advice on how to sell safely, how to spot an undercover, how to spot a narc, ect. Yeah, narcs are different than under covers. I sound like I know something, you say? Maybe I do. But, rest easy, I am doing nothing illegal. I am law abiding. Yeah, it's boring, but, so is jail. I don't think they'd let me blog all day in jail, so I watch my Ps and Q's. Troll, I'll piss in a jar or give blood anytime.

The thing is, after finding all the Barry Cooper vids I could and watching them, I decided I'm on him and my paroled friend's side. Legalize ALL drugs. As Barry said, tax the hell out of them and build schools and roads. Let people decide what they want to 'medicate' with, and let them have it. Period. If they want to do meth until their teeth fall out, let them. If they want help stopping, give it to them. If they commit a crime while on the drugs, there are already laws in place to take care of that. The majority of drug users are non violent. There has never been a death from Marijuana overdose. Not one. Other drug users are people you never hear about because they party on them and then go back to work at banks, hospitals, schools and every other job and you never know. You will never know who is using drugs when they aren't at work. You'd be shocked. The only drug users in the news are criminals who were criminals before they took drugs. You hear about junkies and overdose deaths. It happens. So does death from alcohol over dose, drunk driving, drunk depressed suicides, drunken murders, and more. But, alcohol is legal. It just seems retarded when you think about it. We had prohibition. It didn't work. Instead, it put alcohol into the hands of gangsters. People demanded their booze. So, we made it legal again. Look, drugs are not going away. They won't. They will always be around and no war on drugs will ever stop it. We've spent trillions and trillions of dollars (much more actually) on this war and lost. Drugs are even more available now. So, I'm joining my friend and Barry Cooper and saying, 'Let people decide what they want to put in their bodies. Just stop arresting anyone for drugs.' Just stop it. Our prisons are full of non violent offenders who should be home with their families. We keep building more prisons. I have worked in prisons, I have seen child killers with short sentences and parole, while a non violent grower is a lifer with no chance of parole. How is that fair or decent? Let's just stop. Let's just ignore non violent drug users, growers and sellers. Who really cares? I know I don't.

You might say I'm crazy, that this would never work. I've thought about it, and I think it would work. I'm not going to put everything I thought about on here. It's amazing if you've read this far. But, trust me, I've thought it out and so have people smarter than me about the law. I really don't think we'd see an increase in crime. Because of the majority of where illegal drugs go. The people you never hear about. They outnumber the idiots. Idiots will always be idiots. Ask yourself this, how can you go to a nice clean pot store and buy a bag, legally, with no repercussions in one state, but, in the next state over, a swat team is tossing a flash grenade in a baby's crib because his parents are suspected of growing pot? How does that happen in America? 

How does THIS happen?? Barry Cooper pissed off authorities with his liberal views on drug laws and the raided his home. He was not charged for possession of any drug. He was charged with, get this, creating a hostile environment for his children that caused them to think the government might cause them harm. Yeah, WHAT???? They removed his stepson from his care. A hostile environment?? The hostility and fear came from the damn government!! If he taught them that the government was bad, then they sure proved him right. Is this really America?

Check out Barry's series, Kopbusters, where he busts bad cops. Just type it in You Tube. There's a lot of them. Stealing money, is a good one. Fat ass cop, busted!
