 I know this question comes up constantly, so I thought I'd go ahead and ask it for everyone. Are you, Barry Cooper, currently employed by any law enforcement agency or a branch or department of any government or government organization? What about the rest of the NGB staff? |

No I am not a cop. I am an EX-cop. I have been arrested 5 times since leaving law enforcement and have been the target of a botched civil raid that left bruises on my 13 year old daughter. One of my arrests led to a full blown jury trial in Smith County, Texas where I was found not guilty of assault. In fact, I am constantly targeted by law enforcement with unreasonable arrest such as my 2006 arrest for not returning two DVD's on time.
Cops are never hired to testify as an expert witness for the defense in a drug dog case like I was in Smith County Texas three years ago.
Cops do not teach how to hide a stash. Cops do not teach how to fool drug dogs. Cops do not expose other bad cops for making dogs false alert. High Times Magazine hired a private investigator to assure their readers I was not a cop.
I am currently advising two people who contacted me through my website what to do: One was raided in Michigan and charged with a pound of pot. The other went through a border check point last week and got clipped with 40 lbs. of pot. Cops do not advise smugglers and dealers how to beat a case.
I can understand how some at first thought I might be working for the government when the news of my DVD was released but the evidence is out there now and it is clear...I am a civilian.
And NO..none of my staff has had any law enforcement background.

Mr. Cooper recently stepped up and offered to have a screening of his DVD and a Q and A at the University of North Texas at no charge, in part to benefit NORML chapters of Dallas/ Fort Worth and UNT.
This event was covered by ABC's 20/20. (This came up after the booking, by the way.)
The officers of both chapters spoke at length to the staff of 20/20 off camera, they were trying to find a dissenting voice.
In short, if any of us thought for a moment that Barry Cooper was ill-intentioned, we had every opportunity to expose him on national tv and get big gold stars next to all of our names. |

You can look at it this way aswell , If by chance Barry was working some mega across state line under cover sting , He would have to be DEA.
Now Would our Government try something like this ? Highly doubtful , Would i put it past our Government who has unlimited resources Hell NO.  I.E The Patriot act !
The DEA / Feds do not want to waste there time on thousands of personal cannabis users , Or someone who may grow afew plants for personal consumption .
They want big time smugglers, Big time dealers, Large scale growers.
Further more a mega across state lines sting using the method of selling a Dvd , And message board would violate everyones constitutional rights across the board.
Now lets say thousands of arrests took place in multi states using these methods ,All these cases would be brought before the United states Supreme court, They would deem the use of these methods unconstitutional , And every case would be thrown out . Following theses cases being thrown out, Would lead the way to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of law suits. |

I guess I don't understand what difference it could make even if Barry were a cop.
Perhaps it could matter if he were a cop and was actually giving us bad information that might in fact get people busted. But that can happen even with good information. Buyer beware!
Is the concern over the purchasing of his materials or the information mailers he provides, hence the customer list? Thankfully, freedom of information is still protected by our Constitution. I can gather all the information I want to build a nuclear bomb if I want, I just can't go out and build one.
I suppose a real concern has to do with whether he is genuine or not. Perhaps we want to know that someone who once ruined peoples lives over an unnecessary law has now realized the injustice of it and now fights to make it right.
Cop or not, it is in this country's interest to change our current drug laws so we stop making criminals out of decent people, and stop putting millions of dollars into the hands of murdering drug lords. Instead, let's put millions of dollars into the hands of crooked business people and corrupt government officials by making cannabis legal!  |

purchasing Barry's information material is not much different than subscribing to cannabis culture or hightimes ,, as mentioned in the past if your afraid of being put on a list ,,there is amazon.com and many large name brand bookstores that you can order the DVDs from.

all i can tell you is to watch the many videos he has produced on youtube and this website here,,,then make your own decision,,shouldnt be very hard really.

It is in this countrys best interest to change the current drug laws and stop making criminals out of decent people.
100% AGREED,,,,,,however, the main objective is to keep people out of cages. In Oklahoma for instance,,Currently, under the state's laws, possession of any amount of marijuana is considered a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in jail plus a fine for a first offense.(THAT MEANS ONE JOINT CAN GET YOU A YEAR!!) For subsequent offenses, a person found to be in possession of any amount of marijuana is considered to have committed a felony punishable by two to 10 years in jail and a fine,,,(2ND JOINT CAN GET YOU TEN YEARS)
A non violent marijuana smoker sitting on his couch absolutely does not deserve ten years in prison.! |
