- In the 2nd Episode of KSP TV, Kentucky State Police officers give us an inside look at the Marijuana Eradication detail and the obstacles our teams face.
Preapare to jump out of helicopters, long hikes in desolate areas, and high heat, as KSP continues to reclaim KY's land from illegal drug growers.
Extra Footage Sampled from:
When Hemp became illegal, Kentucky became one of the poorest states. It surprises me at the amount of people who do not even research Kentucky's history, a majority of the people today in Kentucky that speak against Hemp and Marijuana in Kentucky....their ancestors was actually among the largest Hemp and Marijuana growers in US history. A quick look at Geneology records and occupations will show this.
dial 1-800 Snitch on your Next door Neighbor right now over some harmless weed today
you would think alcohol prohibition would have taught us something
marijuana isnt harmful, sux that its illegal
Leave the people alone and go do something useful.
PTSD meds, Pain meds, Nausa meds, anti Seizure meds, Depression meds, etc etc cost have been drastically reduced in the states that legalized Marijuana due to lower demand on those meds. A large portion of the people receiving Medical Marijuana in legal states are listed as "disabled", their meds are paid by tax payers. Keeping Marijuana illegal in Kentucky takes from tax payer's money just to keep meds supplied to their disabled citizens. Think about it.
Claiming that Cannabis is a gateway to harder, more dangerous drugs because it gets you high is like saying drinking milk is a gateway to alcohol consumption because they're both wet.
The substantial increase in THC in weed means it is no longer a gateway to a harder, more dangerous drug, it IS a harder, more dangerous drug. Ask me if I have seen that with my own eyes in the last 14 years working at the homeless shelter in schizophrenic episodes.
@@MichaelJones-rn2pqdumb take. There’s no mechanism for a biological or physical dependence on cannabis. So it’s not a hard drug. If cannabis is a hard drug, then tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol are also hard drugs (though those all CAN develop a biological dependence and horrible withdrawal).
You’re not reporting on anything new. Anyone who has cracked a book in the last 20 years knows people with psychotic disorders or risk factors for psychotic disorders shouldn’t use psychoactive substances. Cannabis isn’t unique in that respect. The same can be said of hard drugs, amphetamines, and psychedelics.
They want to "Wipe it, from the planet." This is one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard a cop say. Why don't you think before you speak?
There are criminal syndicates associate with marijuana growth for the same reason there were criminal syndicates associated with alcohol bootlegging in the 20s. Look at how many criminals are associated with alcohol now that it's legal. I'm not a pot head, but the argument and logic behind it's outlawing is just completely broken, and kind of sad...
You wont win the war on marijuana , that is impossible . marijuana will never leave kentucky .
5:19 lol that's rope hemp
This is so stupid.Flying around looking for harmless plants that's never killed anyone.Maybe you should go after poison ivy.
Busting for marijuana is easy for cops. They dont want it legalized, that would require actual work stopping hard drugs.
Making it legal means no more federal funding for eradication. The DEA shells out tens of millions every year to jurisdictions across the country. Plus, eradication is itself a multi-million-dollar industry. Those HMMWVs, ATVs, helicopters, etc. are not cheap. A lot of people are making good money selling the cops eradication gear.
Then there are the cops themselves. The ones who aren't brainwashed into thinking cannabis is going to kill us all are too cowardly to speak up. Non-violent (and often non-white) cannabis users and growers are tempting targets for ambitious cops. While they're cowards for not speaking up, going after easy targets makes them just that much more despicable.
With Marijuana illegal, it leaves it UNREGULATED, and gives criminal groups access to turn it into a buisness, UNREGULATED Marijuana does NOT have a age limit, however Legalized Marijuana IS REGULATED and DOES have a age limit. When Alcohol was illegal kids was able to get it easy and criminal groups became rich off it, today you do not see criminal groups in the alcohol buisness nor do you see outrageous amounts of minors with alcohol. Think about it :)

Thank you Ksp you are great
dangers?
Marijuana Should be legal.
Please direct me to any scholary study that links marijuana as a gateway drug. This is a long standing arguement like many, that contains no validity. You seems to hold a fascist loyalism to your commonwealth without a basic understanding of cannabis/hemp uses, medicinal purposes, or potential for economic growth. Their mission as a state police officer is to protect the people. This video in no way illustrates the purpose of law enforcement.
I love his logic of “it would make my enforcement efforts difficult so we shouldn’t do it.” This dude just likes running around the forest pretending he is in the military lol.
Go after the real drugs like Meth, Heroine, and Pill dealers.
In 2012, the unit issued a total of 42 citations and made a mere eight arrests despite a massive budget that includes renting a helicopter to identify grow sites and, if needed, para-transport officers into the weed-soaked hollers of Eastern Kentucky. The rental fees associated with the helicopter were, in 2012 numbers, nearly $900,000; travel and supplies cost $2,309 and $13,841, respectively; and nearly a quarter-million was paid in overtime.Breaking the numbers down further, the total cost per arrest for the unit in 2012 was $156,421 (out of a budget total of $1,2 million for that year). The figures obviously exclude other, often hidden taxpayer costs. So good job saving everyone from the dangerous pot heads.They claim the growers get $3000 a pound.You meant to say $300 a pound. For $3000 a pound I would move there tomorrow.Oh and if Roper wasn't such a fat ass and lost at least 50 lbs he might actually rappel from the helicopter instead of what ever you call that thing he does,Goofing off.
High quality does go for around 3000 a lb. Start packing.
Ever wonder why meth pain pills and heroin are so rampant in Kentucky ? Probably bc half the state police are out cutting down a harmless plant when they should be taking down meth labs and heroin dealers. How does that not make sense to you all? You are literally wasting time and money and destroying good people's lives. God forbid someone make a little money you didn't know about. Kinda like when y'all find 30 plant and report 15.
What a waste of time and money.
I fail to see the difference in legal or illegal use if used for medicinal or hemp use? And law enforcement officers are selected to leave their homes families and duties as law enforcement officers to "combat" a harmless drug deemed unfit by a federal government? This seems to only illustrate how expensive they make it to "combat". Fuel for helicopters and weaponry. All in the name of "combating" a plant that could be used as a highly renewable resource. Such productivity of law enforcement.
To bad the pot has to be destroyed and not used to better the state. For example. when someone is arrested and their property is seized, then after the conviction that property is sold or used by the state. KSP gets a new (used) Mustang for undercover and chase vehicle work. According to the numbers in the video, the state could save millions of dollars from the liquid value of the pot.
Oh look, wasted taxdollars.
5:33 Weed = money so money = heroin. Makes sense
2:30
MARK FELTON PRODUCTIONS music. He uses that song in his history videos.
If you love history check this dude out.
When they burn it I wonder if the ksp inhale or pull a wild bill Clinton 😂
People are literally dying out here from other drugs and you all aren't going as hard on them bc they aren't as profitable?
Extra footage sampled from:.......? Where??? Description messed up.
God forbid. "He has very little invested in this except for his time and hardwork. What is wrong with that? So that's your excuse to be focusing on marijuana rather than cocaine, heroin, and meth? That's the poorest excuse I have ever heard in my life. No wonder theres a hard drug epidemic.
The #1 reason that KSP is determined to keep marijuana illegal is because of the Federal funding received. What they won't tell you is the areas targeted are some of THE poorest in the state, but I do respect the KSP.
In 2012, the Kentucky State Police received three major grants from federal sources for marijuana eradication. The grants totaled $3.45 million.
The DEA contributed $1.25 million for eradication efforts, including almost $900,000 for aircraft rentals and $235,000 for OVERTIME.
The legal state map is wrong :p North Carolina, Ohio, and Lousianna defiently is NOT legal.
Illegal & legal .. gawsh.. that's a toughy ..
HOW ABOUT PERSONAL FREEDOM & CHOICE>>

KSP , there is something coming very soon within the next decade that you won't be able to stop. 3D chemical drug printers. The mass public doesn't have them yet but they will. Within the next decade, every household will have the potential to be their own pharmaceutical manufacturer and print almost any drug they wish, even creating new classes of designer drugs. It's coming. A man named Lee Cronin who is a chemistry professor at Glasgow University with many researchers is working on the technology to make this a reality. Printing molecules with reactionware will make it possible to synthesize just about any chain of organic molecules necessary to print any drug one wishes. This is going to put drug dealers out of business because anyone will be able to manufacture any drug they wish from the privacy of their home.
Lord this is pitiful leave people alone get a life a better job
Embarrassing to be from Kentucky and see this crap.
Good job guys, but please give a little credit to JSO and the Kentucky National Guard for our support.
Shut up nerd
Well i dont like alchohol.its kills
Enforcing cannabis laws is unconstitutional
Tyrant law enforcing clowns. All that effort finding/destroying plants for something that is, and should be legal. Super nerds 😂
2024 just lol
😅😂😂😂
Reverse engineer this video
I did. Grow in the trees
There's No Diffrence, marijuana is not only the gateway drug but its one of the cheapest and most profitable! & easiest accessible therefore people are gonna most likely or possibly trade it for another form of contraban that is dangerous due to side effects which can lead to even more various bad things happening so in order to complete there mission as a kentucky state trooper the must go beyond measures to protect and serve the commonwealth!!
Cut that stuff Troopers. I did this in 97 with KSP and I enjoyed cutting every last plant. Keep at it.
You’re a troll
I bet your fun at parties.
