Law Enforcement
Cops in this town don’t really have too much to do other than bust people with drugs. About half the town is serious drug users, the other half are mostly elderly people. They are more concerned with meth for sure, as polk county is the self proclaimed meth capital of the southeast, and with good reason. But they wont hesitate, to throw you in jail even for a little bit. the younger cops here are the ones you got to look out for, becasue they are trying to make a big name for themself in a small town.
Where to buy marijuana:
The bar in the Gordon Heights area, on 17 towards Winter Haven.
It is everywhere literally. I dont know of too many streets wehre someone doesnt know how to get some herb. when times are hard though, head for the convenient store on the east side of highway 17, on the southside of golf avenue, anywhere up and down golf, and in azalea gardens ( huge apartment complex on east side of street, name may have changed) is a sure thing. sometimes, they will come running to you if they think there is even a chance to sell something. if that doesnt work, just ask anyone who looks like they may have been awake for a few days.
