Ex Undercover Drug Cop on infiltrating drug gangs and thoughts on drug reform

Neil Woods is a former undercover cop who spent fourteen years (1993-2007) infiltrating drug gangs as an undercover police officer – befriending and gaining the trust of some of the most violent, unpredictable criminals in Britain. With the insight that can only come from having fought on its front lines, Neil came to see the true futility of the War on Drugs – that it demonises those who need help, and only empowers the very worst elements in society. Neil is the chairman of LEAP UK (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), an advocacy group formed exclusively of ex-law enforcement officials that calls for the legal regulation of illegal drugs, and he also starred on Channel 4's Drugs Live. Here Neil Woods shares his thoughts on Drug policy, drugs including Heroin, Cocaine, MDMA / Ecstasy and Cannabis. He also goes into depth about his time infiltrating drug gangs and some of his crazy stories from that time.  📷 FOLLOW The Leg it Podcast ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thelegitpodcast 🦆 The Leg it Podcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/legpodcast WATCH on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWoCyImTwCV8Dzjv6PrS-lQ 🎧 SUBSCRIBE ON SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/2DGLtVb 🎧 SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-leg-it-podcast/id1449038179?mt=2 --------------------------------------------------------- WATCH on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWoCyImTwCV8Dzjv6PrS-lQ We release a new episode every Monday – please hit the subscribe button so you are notified every single time a new episode is released. https://www.thelegitpodcast.com ✉️ Contact us: [email protected] 📚 Buy Andy's Book "You'll Never Walk" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2U5uFN4 📷 The Leg it Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelegitpodcast 🦆 The Leg it Podcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/legpodcast
