Can cops get high?

Can undercover cops get away with using illegal drugs so that they don't blow their cover? Or will they try to talk their way out of it/not inhale?

I have read on marijuana.com's Cheaptalk forum from a post by K9Copper, an actual cop, that you cannot. One of the other cops on that site has also explain that cops cannot do so. That forum used to be great, very helpful, with those two cops just helping people understand the law and what cops can and will do, even if the law is unjust. It's trying to be more "professional"/medical oriented now, though.

incorrect... regardless of the source... it's like the rumor that asking a cop if he's a cop and him having to answer honestly... I know cops that get high on a fairly regular basis
Cops can and will sample product in order to make a bust, in court they will articulate that they had reasonable suspicion that they were in danger or any number of other things in order to cement a conviction... Cops lie, its what they are paid to do

i have a friend who is going in to the cop program in lethbridge was telling me that they get drug tested regularly in the program and if they are even seen in the on-campus bar they can be removed from the program.

In a small town near mine, there are only 3 cops in the whole town. My friend's dad is the chief of police, and he chiefs and so does another one. We found pipes in his bedroom drawer and smoked out of em. I'm not sure about the 3rd guy though. One of them has been known to take some of your stash and let you go.

I used to party with a good friend who was a state trooper. Sometimes, he'd bring in some nice stashes from a hard day's work. I know it was risky shit - having a cop in the "rotation", but he had more at risk than we did, so it was all good.

I don't know about the undercover cops, but I had a friend back where I used to live who was married to one. And we got high all the damb time. It was funny as hell to see local cops getting high. Though, they didn't do it often.

You be surprised how many cops burn! In my area the amount of pot confiscated is always more than the cops report... Its not like the person being busted is gonna say to the judge "Hey I had an Ounce of pot not an Eight!". So the cops keep it for themselves, wouldnt you?

I don't know if it's legal,but cops do get high to make busts.
When the DEA is trying to infiltrate LSD distrobution families,they'll drop acid and take large doses of benzodiazepines nullify it.
The FBI admitted in documents that are now public because of The Freedom Of Information Act that they taught their agents to learn how to properly handle marijuana when they were trying to break up the SDS (Students For A Democratic Society) in the 60's. (See the book Acid Dreams .)

Well it's a little bit different when you're a DEA agent in 1966 and you think marijuana is the devil himself. I'm just relaying what I've read.

Can cops get high?
let me ask YOU a question?
Can you?
Alot of the reasons why some people become cops is to be "above the law" in a sense. That its less suspicious for a cop to be getting high and what not. You ever see highway patrol men going 90 and up on the freeway in the middle of the night when allmost nobodys on the road? Whos going to pull them over???

some of the police here buy their budd from the hospital. medical weed has made it pretty damn easy for people to buy weed now. if its ever dry for a month or two, we can always count on crooked hospital workers. never seen a cop on phetamines or lsd or anything, personaly wouldnt want to have them chasing me down. im in a small town but its not uncommon to see all 5 of our cops at tim hortnes between shifts (graveyard shift) all cheid eyed and wreeking. WE often bogue outside on the benches, they never even lift a finger. i think it depends on area, and population. on the other hand where i used to live, about 1 hour south, if someone is so much as drinking from a bottle or having a smoke after dark they pull you over.

i plan on being a cop in a couple of years. if i pulled somebody over and they had weed or sumtin i would look the other way. it would just be a fun job to do. i hate jobs that are the same every day. decent pay + benifits + "being above the law."

Yes, yes, yes.
Cops are paid to find, arrest, and prosecute you. That's their job. If a cop is undercover, they can and will use any means of deception to get the job done. It's their job.
Why take a chance? If you're not comfortable with someone, tell them to piss off.
I am unclear as to whether a cop can smoke you out, though. A cop offering you weed sounds a lot like entrapment and an attempt to confuse and cloud your judgement. Of course, isn't that part of their job? :o)

My cousin got picked up for shop lifting and he had a 1/8 on him and a pipe the cop pulled out his pipe and said damn it does smell like tobacco which it didn't. When he pulled out the bag of pot he looked at shook his and put it right back in his pocket. Not all cops are assholes and a lot im finding hate this war on drugs because its a waste of time and most of the cops should have been in jail because they broke the law sometime in their life too they just didn't get caught.

Which explains why you are not a cop... 
> Not all cops are assholes
I have been preaching this for years... almost all of the cops I have met are good and decent people. Like any occupation, the police have some bad apples. Unfortunately, the police tend to pull in a larger precentage of bad apples (type-A agressive pricks making up for a lack of penis size, I suspect) than other occupations... and the effects of a bad cop are much more likely to negatively impact my life than the effects of, say, a bad janitor.

Sure they can get high. I knew one who did all the time. out in CA. They really only test cops for harder drugs, anything involving weapon discharge or vehicle accident. Ive heard theya re just as concerned w/ alcoholism on the job if nto more than drug use off the job.
