Policing drugs - undercover with Neil Woods, brought to you by Professor David Nutt and Drug Science. Neil Woods is a former Undercover Drugs Detective Sergeant whose brief was to infiltrate Britain's most dangerous drug gangs, befriending the foot soldiers before taking on their gangster bosses. Neil risked his life to infiltrate some of the UK's most vicious gangs, by doing so he came to realise the terrifying reality of the drug war in Britain. During this time, what Neil discovered is that (like most wars) the war on drugs was futile at best and corrupt at worst. He’s now a board member of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) in the USA and the U.K. LEAP is a U.N. accredited NGO campaigning for an end to the war on drugs. He’s written two books, a memoir Good Cop Bad War, and Drug Wars, with JS Rafaeli. Drug Science is the leading independent scientific body on drugs in the UK. We work to provide clear, evidence-based information without political or commercial interference.

After over 20 years in the Police force including 14 years working undercover Neil Woods has come forward and admitted ''I've done really bad things''. Woods spent much of his time fighting crime by means of manipulation, entering the world of drugs and gangs via the back door... befriending what he calls the weak and vulnerable and seeking introduction to the biggest gangsters in Britain. Coming up against gangsters who use rape and torture to deal with their enemies would leave a few mental scars for most but Woods' biggest battle seems to be with the guilt of exploiting the drug abusers he used to get him involved with the gangs. After a long war on drugs Woods claims the war needs to end and its time for a new solution.

Neil infiltrated Drug Gangs as an Undercover Operative in the UK for 14 years. He shares experiences posing as an addict, taking down dealers, & why he's now switched sides in this War on Drugs. He spent 23 years total in the UK police force. He is now the chair for LEAP UK, which stands for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Neil is open about how difficult it was to come to terms with how little good he actually did for his communities by going after these drug kingpins. He is also open about how coming to this realization contributed to his PTSD. Drug addiction is quite clearly a medical and social issue, not a criminal one. We discuss why police should be free to focus on other things, and that by keeping drugs illegal we are actually perpetuating violence, theft, and intimidation in our communities. We also touch on marijuana and the potential for some other psychedelic type of substances to be used for people's benefit, as well as political corruption, fear, and speaking out publicly. There is an overwhelming amount of proof as to why this drug war is a losing battle, but it may take many more people like Neil speaking up before things change.
