Pot? What's that? I'm not much on potted plants, though......... Park Lanes?:)
http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=19&highlight=park+lanes We used to buy a pack of "Park Lanes" which had been carefully opened at the bottom without damaging the cellophane or wrapper, then removing the 20 cigarettes and emptying them of tobacco. Afterwards 18 were refilled with grass, twisted at the end, reinserted, then sealed at the bottom. We would buy them by the "six pack" which our Vietnamese supplier thought was hilarious! I can still vividly see his smiling face as we would approach with him saying, "Six pack, six pack six pack!" I believe we paid 20 cents US for a single pack.
Fred's story and yours remind me of a few from my own misspend yoot'...
Of course, I've dumped more weed out on the ground than I care to think about - back when the pigs didn't think it was worth ruining a young man's life for having something known to grow wild on the average ditch-bank...
But I digress...
A friend and I were riding his hoopty around northern me-hee-co, just being young, wild & free, when we ran into a "federale." He smelled our weed, pulled us out of the car and quickly found the bag in my pocket.
I was having visions of horrid mexican jails, being beaten unconscious then gang-raped by smelly dudes in sombreros...
It didn't help when our newfound enemy sternly said
"Ohhh, Seeen-YORR! Thees ees a VERRY VERRY BEEG PROLLEM SEEEN-YORR!!"
"Oh?" was about all I managed to say, voice quavering...
"Ohhh... SEE, Seen-YORR! THEES ees a VERRY VERRRY BEEG PROLLEM!!... I theenk... Ay Carramba! ... I theenk eets goeeng to take ... like... twenny dollars to feex THEES one, Seen-yorr!"
I was DUMBFOUNDED - too stupid to really get what he was saying - but luckily Todd wasn't...
Before I'd even managed to suss out what he'd said, Todd whips a $20 out of his pocket and hands it over, asking "will THAT solve our problem?"
"Prollem? Ees no prollem HERE seen-yorr!"
I started high-tailing it for the car, but Todd wasn't done - I nearly shat myself when he explained that he wanted our bag of weed back too!
Seen-yorr Federale rolled his eyes, said something about "huevos" but handed it over - Todd sat right there and twisted up another fatty and lit it, offered a toke to Seen-yorr Federale (who smiled and walked away before Todd started the car and drove on...
I think the day is coming - soon - when we'll return to some sanity about all of this - at this point even my idiotic state has made possession a misdemeanor and passed a law saying it won't be prosecuted at all if the "defendant" can produce a doctor's note saying his Doc recommended MJ use for some reason...
8 of 10 people have smoked, and some 4 in 10 do so regularly - at this point we're just punishing those unlucky and/or stupid enough to get caught... all of which seems mighty counterproductive!
Shouldn't we devote those literal TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to something that matters, and stop wasting jail-space on pot-smokers while freeing REAL criminals to make room for them??!!
Petty and the boys apparently are prodigious pot-smokers.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about all that, but it makes for some groovy tunes.
