Spurrier was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

I think it's pretty obvious that there was no intent to sell since he was giving it away. A good attorney should be able to get it thrown out because of that.

Pot is Labour day & Thanksgiving

Its Florida and he was giving out weed. At least he wasn't passing out meth and bath salts.

I can ONLY imagine where he has been growing it.

Somebody is going to be looking for the cash with 45 grams...

unless he grew it himself or had it in his stash already. I doubt he would hand out weed he owed for... then again he doesn't look too bright XD

I had out buds to strangers all the time.
Mostly homeless people. If they dont partake, they know someone that does and can give it away.

Difference I'm in California. He's in Florida.

He was prob handing out garbage weed.

But a sword cane..... so Christopher Lee in some old movie!

I think an old dude with a sword cane giving out free weed on Christmas is possibly the best thing your town could have! I want one here. Fuckin cops.

Maybe in a few years I'll just be the change I want to see in the world. I don't really have any substantial plan for what to do in retirement.
