Retired cop will discuss marijuana legalization
Howard Wooldridge spent 18 years as a cop in Michigan and saw first-hand the failures of the War on Drugs. In 2002 he and four colleagues founded Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and he now heads Citizens Opposing Prohibition (COP), which makes presentations to every Congressional office every year. Howard also has testified before state committees in Annapolis, Richmond and Austin, and is famous for riding his horse, Misty, across the country to raise awareness of the harm caused by drug prohibition. He and Misty also campaigned for the marijuana legalization initiative in Colorado last year.
