What's the price of bud in Florida?

Image

"Ricardo Flores, 36, a former Winter Haven police officer, accepted a plea deal Friday and lost his career over stealing one marijuana bud, reports The Ledger in Lakeland."

I must admit I am undecided about this one. On the one hand, I have little mercy or understanding for cops that are blindly enforcing the US's counterproductive laws. On the other hand, I don't think someone should suffer for a love bud.

Help me out and voice your opinion please.

The price is the same as anywhere in the US, but not as good as N. Cali bud.

Yea F@#* him, a dirty cop is a dirty cop. We(tax payers) pay his salary to serve and protect. Not bust a grow opp and take a little for himself. If I got busted with that I could and would lose my job and Im not protecting the Laws. South Florida is full of dirty cops and politicians. Its a state where Pill mills are everywhere with crack heads on OXYs killing and raping for the drugs. But a little weed could wreck your life. F@#* that dirty pig. /rant

That reminds me of Ron White's story of getting busted in Florida with 7/8th of a gram ... "I don't know about you, but when I have 7/8th of a gram, I consider myself OUT OF POT.'

Undoubtedly, the copper should be punished. Theft is theft, worse still, when you're one and only job in life...the one that puts food on yer table...is to serve and protect...

however

It's a problem caused purely by lawmakers. I sometimes ( not often though ) feel sorry for the bizzies. I'm willing to bet that a lot of Police folk have views similar to ours when it comes to cannabis. I'm also willing to bet that a lot of police have a 'spot on' set of morals..you know..genuinely believe in right and wrong......then there are the few who are out, simply to abuse their powers.....I mean...A copper recently was jailed for raping prostitutes in The U.K!! :shock:

If pot was not such a Taboo subject, people could be a lot more honest about their views.

I am baked right now, I may come back and edit this later, if it makes no sense :lol:

I'm with you on that twitch, bit of a poor sap I reckon and probably regret it until he gets himself a new life, sometime. just a bit harsh, but thats life I guess. People walk under buses everyday they tell me. :shock:
