How cops learned to harass pot smokers in the '60s

Posted by Jan Frel at 11:39 PM on May 13, 2007.


Video teaches young narcs how to distinguish joints from cigarettes, and catch users of 'mind-warping' pot and hash.

The War on Drugs was already in full swing by the time this video was made... It's a short how-to for drug busters to recognize tell-tale signs of pot smoking and hash bar consumption with a hokey voice over. I rather liked the visual examples offered of containers that might be used to store pot.

Digg!

How about...

We get some real and serious discussion of the current situation going, rather than just sit back and laugh at yet another reefer madness-esque video.

How about we talk about how those with a drug conviction can no longer get federal aid for education.

How about we talk about how government shouldn't have the right to tell us what we can and can't do with our own bodies.

How about we talk about how kids lives are being ruined just because they smoked some pot and got busted.

How about we talk about how the entire reason we have drug gangs is because there is a profit to be made here in the US, and that the profit is only there to be made because of black market prices for these illegal goods.

How about we talk about how little law enforcement has advanced from things like this video in their understanding of drugs themselves.

Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Praise the Lord!

... S'easy! Don't USE the stuff. Reefer is aginst the law. If you don't LIKE the law, write your congressman. In the meantime, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
