Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, official page's Interests
General
GENERAL our speakers entered into a career of law enforcement, they pledged to protect and serve. Realizing that their participation in the War on Drugs undermined the fulfillment of that pledge, the men and women of LEAP have joined forces to take action. It requires integrity, passion and bravery for our speakers to rise above the status quo.
MISSION The mission of LEAP is to reduce the multitude of harms resulting from fighting the War on Drugs and to lessen the rates of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition.
GOALS LEAP's goals are: (1) To educate the public, the media and policymakers about the failure of current drug policy by presenting a true picture of the history, causes and effects of drug use and the elevated crime rates more properly related to drug prohibition than to drug pharmacology and (2) To restore the public's respect for law enforcement, which has been greatly diminished by its involvement in imposing drug prohibition.
SPEAKERS BUREAU COMPOSITION Incorporated on March 16, 2002, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition has grown from five founding police officers to a membership of over 12,000 and growing daily including over 125 speakers, living in 38 of the United States and in 8 other countries. All LEAP speakers are former drug-warriors; police, parole, probation, and corrections officers, judges, prosecutors, prison wardens, FBI, and DEA agents. LEAP has members and supporters across the United States and in fifty-six other countries.
ORIGIN OF SPEAKERS BUREAU LEAP is a tax exempt, international, nonprofit, educational entity based in the United States that was modeled after Vietnam Veterans Against the War. These Veterans had an unassailable credibility when speaking out to end that terrible war and LEAP has the same credibility when its former drug-warriors speak out against the horrors of the War on Drugs. LEAP's message demands the attention of the media and resonates with members of law enforcement who question current U.S. drug policies.
TOGETHER WE CAN! End the prohibition of currently illicit substances, raise awareness of the harm wrought by the U.S. led "War on Drugs"and educate the public about legalization as a safer more effective measure for dealing with drug use, abuse and addiction.

"Anyone concerned about the failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this 12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a must-see for any journalist or public official dealing with this issue."

About me: Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) is a 12,000-member organization representing cops, judges, prosecutors, prison wardens and others who now want to legalize and regulate all drugs after witnessing and perpetrating horrors on the front lines of the "war on drugs."
ANY citizen can join as a member today for free by visiting http://www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com and entering your e-mail address at the top-left of the page.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who believes legalizing all drugs will lessen the rates of death, disease, crime, addiction, and government waste associated with the "War on Drugs."
The war on drugs is a scam for the Criminal Industrial Complex, like the war on terror, crime, immigration, etc.
It is being sustained by the very people who are fighting it, they will never give it up willingly, and they bribe politicians, judges, law enforcement officers, and the media to maintain it.
The answer is mass resistance, or civil disobedience.
Stop waiting for your "Representatives" to fix this, they won't, they work for the corporate interests, and they will never represent you or I, never.
This is why a Republic form of government is just as wrong as a Democratic form of government.
A republic form of government trusts a few rich powerful men to act on our behalf, and a democratic form of government allows 51 percent to dictate their will on the other 49 percent.
We need less government and in many areas of our lives, no government. That should be our goal.
Think like an Anarchist - Live like a Pacifist, Peace.
This is no joke! Please help to defend the Legacy of The Hemperor. The very life and well being of our beloved Jack Herer has recently come under attack. In light of recent events, money for the family of Mr. Herer is tied up in court. He has recently had a heart attack and is unable to speak for himself. At this point we are asking for your donations due to the recent hardship placed on his wife and family because of the seizure of his assets.
Jack Herer is the foremost Freedom Fighter for Hemp and it's industrial, medicinal, and spiritual use in the United States and Internationally. He is not a wealthy man. He has been wrongly targeted for reasons we are unaware.
For information on how to donate money to his family for their daily needs, and legal defense of their rights to decide the fate of their father's medical care, please contact me @: dope_soap@yahoo.com .
Thank You to anyone who can help the wife and family of Mr. Herer, author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes.
AdvoCare's Family and Youth Defense Fund is established as a legal defense fund using AdvoCare's current tax exempt status and charitable purpose under their Family Bound program. The purpose of the fund would be to provide assistance in general actions, individual cases, or for filing amicus briefs where the outcome of such cases may effect our members and the general public in areas related to our organizations charitable purpose, goals, and description of activities. The fund, and all donations to the fund, would be governed and administered under the direction of AdvoCare's Board of Directors.
Your contributions are certainly needed and appreciated.
Thank you for what you guys are doing, I really appreciate that people that uphold the laws are getting educated in the right and correct way about a medicinal plant GOD himself put on this planet for mans use, thank you for spreading the news :)
Please allow me to do my part and post this:
KJV version of bible : verse 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."
NAS version of bible : verse 1:29 "Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you."
Thank you again, I hope these Bible verses say a little something about the intention of herbs bearing seed such as Cannabis the great healer.
Thanks for supporting our Troops! I appreciate it and I know our Troops appreciate it.
If you would like to help us thank those still serving overseas and help those coming home wounded, please stop by the profile, read the latest blog and do what you can.
