Former undercover cop says legalize marijuana
8/12/2010 - Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) is one of the most important national groups calling for an end to the war on drugs. http://leap.cc
LEAP Executive Director Neill Franklin will be in Philadelphia on 8/12/2010 taping a debate about legalizing marijuana on It’s your Call with Lynne Doyle on the Comcast Network.
PhillyNORML Communications Director Chris Goldstein will also appear on the program.
Major Neill Franklin retired from the Maryland State Police in 1999. His work as an undercover narcotics officer on the streets of Baltimore and then as a training instructor at the Maryland Police Academy give him a unique perspective on drug policy. Franklin is a leading African-American voice on the topic of prohibition reform.
Editorial Boards, reporters and other media are welcome to meet with Neill Franklin while he is in Philadelphia today.
