Undercover Drug Cop: Why We Need To Legalise ALL Drugs | Extraordinary Lives Podcast |

Neil Woods spent fourteen years undercover infiltrating the UK’s biggest drugs gangs. He penetrated dangerous organisations across the country, living alongside the most notorious gang members. Neil talks us through the split-second decisions that stopped his cover being blown, plus why he thinks drugs decriminalisation is how we solve climate change.
Extraordinary Lives is a podcast from the team behind LADbible’s Minutes With.
We speak to remarkable people who each have a unique story to tell - spies, terrorists, hackers, gangsters, killers, people with particular conditions, and those who’ve lived unreal experiences. These are the stories that resonated the most with LADbible’s audience when they were originally told on Minutes With.
In this podcast, LADbible’s Ben Powell-Jones sits down with those individuals for a more in-depth conversation, revealing untold tales for the first time.

I've been a heroin addict and dealer in the past and this guy is spot on, legalising and making drugs cleaner is the way to go. Tax the legal drugs and the funds from that pays for addiction services etc so it does not have any effect on the public purse. People will always take drugs whether legal or not so I don't see anything but positives legalising them.

[@SWiTFSHoW]

If we legalise them, how are we going to justify invading foreign countries such as afghanistan :(

[@willsmith39]

It's a shame more police areht like this, thoughtful, articulate, relateble - much like politics, policework often attracts completely the wrong type of people.

[@belliott88]

Omg… When did LADbible switch lanes into producing these extremely high quality, autobiographical/biographical, interviews?! 😲… Please, never stop creating this kind of content!

[@jbird976]

The fact they had him making buys undercover and putting him back in uniform to work regular shifts, is so insanely dangerous. The wrong person sees him and he's done. Crazy

[@matthewwoods6972]

I hate to be this person. But there is a cure for ptsd. It's MDMA but in a safe place with a trained therapist. To work you through the issues.

My son once asked me why we don't stop the drug war. I told him the world economy couldn't take shutting it down. Too many people depend on the war on drugs. He is on the police force, and he told me recently that he now understood what I meant.

Im in America and I’m surprised a lot of people still don’t know that thc edibles are legal in every state already. Congress redefined the amount of thc allowed in edibles to be based off the total weight of the product and not the total thc content. I get edibles with 200mg of total thc and it’s legal, even though I live in Texas. Just be careful what company you use since some don’t have lab tests so you don’t know what’s really in it. I use Recreational8 because they ship to my state and have a QR code on their packaging that link to lab tests showing it’s legal. It’s worth looking into if you don’t have dispensaries in your state yet

[@ericjohnson4349]

That is why the UK is a mess.

30+ years as a criminal defense attorney, and I agree with every word he said.

@LADbible TV -

Nice to hear someone speaking the truth for once. We cant even control drugs in maximum security prisons let alone on the streets.

[@mikemurphy5898]

Huge respect to this guy for being able to stay open minded and then actually admit to himself and everyone else that what he thought was wrong. Much respect.

[@lazatron2547]

I could listen to Neil for days on end. So charismatic and knowledgeable

[@adamsteinhardt6393]

I did not share Niels opinions at all before this video, but had considered the argument vaguely in the past. His stories, his eloquence and intelligence in speaking, and his very logical nature has made me reconsider my own opinions. In the off chance Neil read this comment, I’d want him to know that this interview has made a real impact on me, and it will change how I vote and advocate in my community. I’ve great respect for him for taking this interview.

[@SohnoZ]

This is such a great interview!

[@ValkyrieofNOLA]

Neil touched my heart when he explained how he began to truly SEE those addicts. His revelation of the majority of addicts experienced some form of intense trauma.

[@CainRG1]

He's speaking pure facts, great interview
