Illicit drugs should be legal, officer says David Bratzer

I am pleased to announce that David is coming to the 10th Annual Cannabis Convention on Feb 15, 2009. We will have the posters out when we have confirmed the last speaker.

Here is the Article about David Bratzer:
Jody Paterson, Special to Times Colonist

Published: Friday, November 28, 2008

David Bratzer and I share at least one opinion in common: That it costs us a pointless fortune to maintain the charade of having effective drug laws in Canada.

It's no big deal that I hold that opinion. Anyone who knows the kind of things I write about wouldn't be too surprised to discover I'm of the belief that Canada and the U.S. have made a complete hash of things by treating a health and social issue like a criminal matter.

But Bratzer holding that opinion, that's a little different. He's a Victoria police officer -- one of those tasked with enforcing those laws.


I suspect there are many more who think like Bratzer inside the department, as you would expect from anyone charged with patrolling Victoria's ridiculous streets for any length of time. But it's still not a view that's expressed publicly by police very often.

In fact, Bratzer, a constable, is one of only two active police officers in Canada who does public speaking on behalf of the U.S.-based non-profit organization Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP). He signed on three months ago after clearing it with his boss, and now aims to put some of his off hours to use speaking to people about why drug prohibition doesn't work.

"LEAP's position is that a lot of the problems we're seeing aren't caused by drugs, but rather the unintended consequences of drug prohibition," says Bratzer, citing public health problems, violence and a gang-controlled drug market as examples.

Bratzer came to the same conclusion after three years of policing the streets of Victoria.

"The effort that we put into chasing drugs -- it's bottomless," he says. "Canadians have put billions and billions into fighting the war on drugs, but at the end of the day they're cheaper, more potent and more available than ever before."

Wanting an end to prohibition has nothing to do with liking drug abuse, notes Bratzer. But ceding control of an arbitrary assortment of drugs to gangs and criminals simply isn't working as a strategy. The LEAP website (www.leap.cc) tracks U.S. "drug war" spending by the minute; at $2,000 every 60 seconds, spending for 2008 is already more than $46 billion.

Canada doesn't officially have a war on drugs, with federal authorities preferring to describe our efforts as "demand and availability reduction." We're not quite so jail-crazy, nor so prone to lock up people indefinitely at great cost and to little effect.

But we still spend a heck of a lot on drug enforcement in Canada -- more than half a billion dollars a year. And if the goal of all that spending is to wipe out trafficking and the use of illegal drugs, then anyone with eyes and 15 minutes to hang out in the downtown can see that it's not working.

"The LEAP strategy is to build a bureau of speakers modelled on Vietnam Vets Against the War. That group was effective because they had the credibility of having been there," says Bratzer. "What LEAP believes is that once people hear from those in law enforcement about the multiple harms caused by drug prohibition, they'll change their minds."
Bratzer is careful to point out that his views are his own, and not those of the Victoria Police Department. He also stresses that the solutions lie in slow, measured steps that remove drug laws and replace them with good public policy.

"I don't support drug abuse, and I don't support breaking the law. I know it all has to be about baby steps," says Bratzer. "My message to the marijuana lobby is to aim higher, because if marijuana becomes legal but all the others remain the way they are, there's still a lot of harm being done."

Bratzer's view is that "soft" drugs should be taxed and sold, similar to alcohol and tobacco. Harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin would be available as prescription drugs and "consumed in a monitored site" as part of a harm-reduction program.
I think every doctors' office should be a needle exchange," he adds.

Bratzer knows his decision to go public with his views might not sit well with some of his co-workers at the department. As of this week, he's also got a new boss to consider: Chief Jamie Graham.

"I'm not saying police should stop being police," says Bratzer. "I have a lot of respect for my fellow police officers, and am not trying to shove this down their throat.

"But at the end of the day, I didn't want to work as a police officer for 30 years and end up feeling like this was an issue I should have spoken up about sooner."

The History of CBC of C

In this in lighting lecture you can take a trip down memory lane with Ted Smith the founder and director as he discusses the formation of the CBC of C. Ted vividly discusses raids on the club he founded and has run since Jan of 1996. This is a story of an activist that has made change by challenging the law while providing a much needed service for the sick and or disabled of greater Victoria by providing cannabis and cannabis products for those medically qualified.

We will be caroling on Christmas Eve this year starting at 7pm at the Ministry of Health and leaving there at about 7:30pm.Caroling through out Victoria.

We will be at the courthouse the next week, New Years Eve, to play Reach For The Pot, starting at 7pm.

Here is a few Carols from Hempology:

WE THREE BUDS OF TEXADA

We three buds of Texada are
Growing plants we’ve hidden afar
Field and flower, need now power
Grown under sun and star

Grown a bud on Texada’s plain,
Pot I bring to smoke up again
Green forever, go dry never,
Texada Timewarp reigns

CHORUS:

Oh bud of wonder, bud of sight,
Bud with sticky, crystals bright.
Westward growing, overflowing
Cannabis shares the light.

Cannabis to offer have I,
Incense gets a deity high
Dank and smelly, legs like jelly,
Growing pot day and night.

Organic is the way to grow,
It’s the best pot, we all know
Smoking, flying laughing, crying,
Higher and higher we go-ohhhHHH

(CHORUS)

Glorious, the Cannabis Tree:
Plant and God, for you and for me
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Ganja sends your mind free.

(CHORUS)

JOINTS TO THE WORLD

Joints to the world! The crop is done;
Let pipes and bongs be stuffed!
Let every head
prepare a joint

And friends & neighbours puff
And friends & neighbours puff
And friends & neighbours puff!

Joints to the world! The pot is dry;
Let us now smoke it all
While our old friends
Stand and cheer

We’ll hot-box City Hall
We’ll hot-box City Hall
We’ll hot-box City Hall!

GOOD QUEEN CANNABIS

Good Queen Cannabis looked out,
On the fields of B.C.,
Where the buds grew all about,
Far and dank and sticky,
Brightly shone the sun this fall,
And the frost was quite light
Many growers gave their all,
Making smiles bright

“Hither, friend, and smoke with me,
If You know the truth,
Why is ganja not set free?
Do you have the proof?”
“Queen, we live in troubled days,
Profits before prosper,
Those in power cling to ways,
That make us all suffer.”

“Bring my hemp and bring my pot,
Bring my lawyers hither,
Thou and I shall sit down not,
While earth and people wither,
Friends of ganja, forth we go,
Let us puff together,
Fighting for our rights we know,
We will smoke forever.”

OH CANNABIS TREE

Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Thy buds are so enlightening
You get me high when summer’s here, but also when ’tis cold and drear.
Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Thy buds are so enlightening

Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Much pleasure thou dost give me,
How often has the Cannabis Tree, Brought just for me, the highest glee.
Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Much pleasure dost though give me.

Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Thy crystals shine with THC,
From seed to koala, brave and free, There’s only joy for you and me.
Oh Cannabis Tree, Oh Cannabis Tree, Thy crystals shine with THC.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me,
A dube in a pot tree.

On the 12th day of Christmas
My true love gave to me,
12 pounds of bud
11 rolling papers
10 female clones
9 Bic lighters
8 sodium lights
7 hash brownies
6 Graphix bongs
5 BOTTLE TOKES
4 pot cookies
3 glass pipes
2 roach clips
And a dube in a pot tree

CANNABIS IS GROWING IN TOWN

You better inhale, you better not cough
Keep it all in and then you’ll get off
Cannabis is growing in town

(CHORUS)

He’s growing a lot and growing it fast
Gonna get out while the hydro lasts
Cannabis is growing in town

He’s setting all his lights up
He’s checking his PH
He knows if you’re a boy or girl
So just grow for goodness sake.

CHORUS

He’s pulling the males and checking the lights
Gonna grow pot all day and all night
Cannabis is growing in town

He knows just when it’s ready
The buds are full and thick
He cuts and trims for three whole days
Then he cures it to a crisp

CHORUS

RUDOLF THE RED-HAIRED OUTDOOR

You know Time-Warp and Big Bud
and Durban and Mighty Mite
Indoor and cookies
And oil and hashish,
But do you recall,
The most famous outdoor of all?

Rudolph the red-haired outdoor
Was a very sticky strain
And if you ever smoked it
You would never be in pain
All of the other growsers
Used to laugh and puff their own
They never smoked some Rudolph
To find it was a really good stone
Then one dry and desperate eve
George Bush came to say,
“Rudolph with your hairs so bright,
Won’t you fill my pipe tonight?.”
Then all the people loved it
As they smoked it all with glee
“Rudolph, the red-haired outdoor,
You’ll get grown through history

JAH BLESS YOU HEALTHY CANNABIS

Jah bless you health-y can-na-bis,
let free-dom pave your way,
Re-mem-ber Ter-ry Park-er,
Was cleared one hap-py day,
To save us all from leg-al troub-les,
And stop the war some-day.

O, Tidings of cookies and buds, cookies and buds,
O, Tidings of cookies and buds.

In Vic-tor-ia Can-a-da,
This glorious plant is grown,
And all the health-y ben-e-fits,
Are still not ful-ly known,
Though we will find the plants true pow-er,
As more and more is sown.

O, tidings of cookies and buds, cookies and buds,
O, tidings of cookies and buds.

From Jah our earth-ly heal-er,
A blessed green plant came,
And when made into cook-ies,
Brought health to all the lame,
The ill-ness-es that pot can help,
Are too man-y to name.

O, tidings of cookies and buds, cookies and buds,
O, tidings of cookies and buds.

The peo-ple love their can-na-bis,
They cel-e-brate each fall,
And bring their buds and cook-ies,
To share with one and all,
And when the laws all dis-ap-pear,
We’ll have a gan-ja ball.
O, tidings of cookies and buds, cookies and buds,
O, tidings of cookies and buds.

HARVEST TIME

People growing
tall plants growing
Making pot lovers smile
In the air there’s a faint smell of cannabis

People smoking
420 toking
Passing joint after joint
And in every clearcut you can hear

Harvest time
Harvest time
It’s trimming time in the country
cut them down
go to town
Soon it will be planting time

CANNABIS PUFF
Sung to: Jingle Bell Rock
Words: Carol Pudwell

Cannabis, cannabis, cannabis puff
Cannabis seeds and cannabis trees
Growin’and showin’ how big they can get
No, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Cannabis, cannabis, cannabis puff
Cannabis tokes and cannabis smoke
Huffin’ and puffin’ in Cannabis Hall
At the Ganja Ball

In the Yule time
It’s a cool time
To hotbox through the night
Cannabis time
Is the best time
To go tokin’ near the downtown lights

Laugh a bit, cough a bit, sings a few songs
Gather your friends and puff
Mix in honey oil, light up their bongs
That’s the cannabis
That’s the cannabis
That’s the cannabis puff.


There a a few more songs in our songbook. Has anyone else written any cannabis carols?
