Early last Thursday morning, police in St. Petersburg, Florida happened upon a man named Enzo Zabala-Cardozo, who was about to fire up and smoke from a glass pipe in an alleyway.

Obviously, that is not allowed, but according to Zabala-Cardozo, it was all good!  As he turned to walk away from the police, he assured the officers that “meth is legal now.”

Zabala-Cordozo offered no other proof or details of his claims, and it was not enough for the police to avoid taking him into their possession.  Per The Smoking Gun, Zabala-Cardozo was arrested on a felony drug possession charge and a misdemeanor count of resisting police.

Zabala-Cardozo was booked into the county jail on $2150 bond, and at the time of his arrest Thursday, he was free on bond in connection with his arrest in late-May for possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.

His rap sheet includes multiple convictions for narcotics possession, as well as convictions for trespass, disorderly conduct, obstruction, and assault.
