You know, if you're going to be a cop and you're going to order something at a fast food restaurant, you need to expect it to be tampered with. At least it was just weed. Remember the Dead Kennedy's song "DMSO"? I have nothing against cops, but this guy was seriously overreacting to what was done to him and his partner.
As for Burger King employees not being able to afford to waste pot, that's very true. But an ounce of pot is $50-100. Seeing a cop get high for reasons completely unknown to them is just not $100 worth of funny, that's for sure.
But I do know one thing. These cops are being trained in some kind of magical world where they think pot will ruin peoples' lives. Regardless of what that cop said, there was a very, VERY minuscule chance that he or his fellow officer could have died or killed anyone that evening. There are several reasons why. First, pot has never killed anyone. Secondly, most drug related car accidents that involve pot are in combination with other drugs. The strongest point on this, though, that marijuana has a highly recognizable high, whether you've smoked before or not. If you feel weird or tired or sick on the road, you pull over and you decide not to use a firearm. The only reason anyone ever drives while high on pot is because they intended to. Pot does not rob you of consciousness or cause you to hallucinate. I hate having to break this to people.
