HS 319 - FBF – "Deep Cover Cop" with Ted Sumner

This weeks Flash Back Friday takes us back to Episode 97 from 2012. Join Jason Hartman as he leads author, Ted Sumner, through a fascinating true story about Ted's undercover police work with the San Jose Police Department and how the War on Drugs could be approached much differently. Ted talks about the alternative of legalizing certain drugs, particularly marijuana, but with control factors and accountability, controlling the production, distribution and safety to remove the high profit motive. Simply legalizing drugs leaves the black market open. Ted gives the example of Switzerland's success in the legalizing of marijuana, where there are controls and regulations in place. In addition to his work in law enforcement, Ted has taught martial arts for 45 years, and he is the creator and instructor of the Rehabilitation through Kenpo program to rehab veterans with brain trauma injuries. His goal in writing his book was to illustrate the great value of martial arts training and to shed light on the drug abuse problem in America, as well as the inadequate government drug policies.
