A former pot smuggler buys legal weed inside a medical marijuana dispensary

Robert Platshorn, or “Bobby Tuna,” spent nearly 30 years in prison for his role in a pot smuggling ring that brought tons of marijuana from Colombia to Florida. Now he advocates for medical marijuana for seniors in his cross-state “Silver Tour.”

    Tuna likes the Sea Weed

    Really cool site, if you just need some relaxing CBD weed I cannot fault it. The package came discretely and wrapped up nicely. Once I transferred funds I only had to wait two or so working days before there was a nice treat waiting for me from the postman. Thanks to everyone at Weed Supermarket I will be using you again from harmonydispensaryshop.com

    Bobby tuna should forever and always be remembered as a man of the people and a American hero to the everyday citizen.

    As a PTSD survivor, there should be no doubts about the effectiveness of medical marijuana.
    I being an athlete was not very welcoming to this idea of medical marijuana consumption because I was not aware of its effects
    You can get an insight into all the details regarding that here: https://mmjdoctor.com/positive-effects-of-marijuana-on-mental-health/

    Because of medical marijuana, I am a changed man now!

  17. Andrew on August 10, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    And people are still incarcerated over marijuana 🤯



  18. Snatch Block on August 10, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    I mean he did smuggle weed internationally when people were already growing it in the US. I wouldn’t say 30 yrs was justified, maybe 10yrs. Also I don’t really see how he changed anything by being incarcerated.

  32. Rosinlife87 on August 10, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    So this is where the black tuna strain came from and why they were giving away that pendant with it on its first roll out



  33. John Dickinson on August 10, 2021 at 10:33 pm

    TheDirtRider
    TheDirtRider After doing 10 for my smuggles, I will never buy government weed. Met Bobby once. I was just out when he went in. We both worked with some of the same connections in Colombia. Good to share stories with him at the CannaCup that weekend in Everett.



  34. Chris Marshall on August 10, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    I think it’s amazing people are helping cannabis become legal and continue to take this forward. I hate that I live in Kentucky where it seems like we’re fighting with no future ahead of us. They won’t even give us the chance to vote it into legalization. They just keep crushing anything that goes in front of them. I don’t understand why other states are allowed to vote for legalization but we aren’t. If they aren’t going to give us the right to vote they need to remove United we stand from everything because this country is far from united

    Hello guys greetings. This information maybe important or not important to you. And if it’s important to you then take it very serious so stop being a victim like me.
    I have been scammed several times trying to get good quality weed but to no avail, but I talked with a friend of mind about it because I really needed it for pains and relaxation. He directed me to buyallweedsonline.com even though i was scared, i took the risk because the site was great and products have affordable prices and reviews. I placed my order and to my greatest surprised, my package was delivered to me at my doorstep without any problems. I opened the package and everything was exactly as they said and the buds has great quality. To my greatest surprise also, buyallweedsonline.com are not on any social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, Snapchat and more. I will like to urge anyone who need to buy cannabis to go on their website and order there and i bet y’all that you gonna testify to othere like I’m doing now. I can only trust buyallweedsonline.com because they have saved me from all this scammers here. Go and order there and thank me later. Love y’all ✌🏻

    Question The Messenger
    I am the messenger, and bearer of news, on a stream line of media. Furthermore the press, print, the black an white in small print, under everything. The lemon law and voice to the buyer, and sign of beware. The foresight and fortune, the insight and weather condition. I bring you the news, the music and harmony, the swing tempo and tone, broad stream. Broadcasting in sol, solar waves, wind and flares, like micro ovens I’m cooking it up, turning you onto, an in, in to me. I raise the temperature and heat , set the time and prepare for the essence for you to eat. I bear all you can eat, the past, present and future right before your eyes, touching your sol being, through the media line and stream of charged atomic particles in ten-ten wins over nine-one-one frequencies. I’m the four-one-one you dial and call for information, directions an emergencies. The seven eleven pit stop you gas up at and the dopamine you fill with caffeine, seven -twenty-three days and hours a week. It’s where you arrive and depart in the twilight on the seven-eleven. (You see ) I spill the truth and make a living telling it, I’m rich with justice, laying it over your shoulders while you bear the guilt and weight. An I’m eye witness, morning and late night news, the twilight and channel to the after life.

    this is just fu@king sad



  44. Dynamic Dizine on August 10, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    He just spent hundreds of dollars for tiny bag with a few products! The florida way! with a veterans discount! Sad he went through that only to be meant by the worst disp in state and worst legal state in the country ( top 5 anyway.) Fact he is in Florida going to a TL is probably the saddest ending you could write. Fact or fiction. Florida the harshest penalties in the country even now! Look up how much time an o gets you. If he went to jail down here thats why he did 30 years for herb!!!!!!!!!!!! Even now if you got caught fl will wreck your life in 2020. Because the south is the worst and so far behind the times… Have one of the worst Governors on top. If you think he supports cannabis in anyway shape or form you need to do alot more research. Or just do your own vs what the news says or someone tells you. I see so many thumbs up for the dumbest comments that arent even close to accurate. But then again thats why florida is the way it is. People let it happen and embraced it. Still dont care to do anything to fix it. Ive lived all over but the ignorance , racism , close minded thinking and so many being proud of those facts.Truly blows my mind. Easily the worst state ive ever been in. Ive been in double digits… Its a place to visit at best….. But even that isnt worst the risk imo.
