right now, put together a list of good restaurants for lobster, and other great seafood.
The friends-of-friends-of family sounded perfectly nice in all the emails exchanged. All was good.
Then, they landed in Tijuana yesterday and what they wanted to know is where could they score some marijuana.
I warned them very directly that if they made a connection here, the dealer would happily take their money and then turn them in to the authorities.
We are not getting together for a meal - lobster, turkey or otherwise. |
I know there's a problem here just don't know what it is. Was it that these people were possibly willing to score from a stranger in MX and that's
plain stupid? Or was it their casual attitude about smoking?
You couldn't help them score?
If people like this showed up for a visit in Colorado, I'd recommend they get a med card and show them where the dispensaries are. In Boulder city
limits, there's a dispensary or two on every block. It's the best anywhere, I hear.
So, maybe it's the bad reputation that MX has for quality pot that made you think these yokels are clueless?
Wonder if the ''friends'' thought there really wasn't a problem, either.

BANG ! BANG! BANG!
2300 hours. Playa Zipolite...
I stumbled to the door.
"¡POLICIA FEDERAL!
I furtively parted the curtains and looked. Oh Christ, badges, guns and flashlights.
"¿You espeak espanish?"
Hell no. not at this hour.
"We come in. Now!"
Piled in and they did a fast search. Cupboards refrigerator, and opened the outside hatches. Of course they didn't find anything.
"You esmoke?"
"No"
"No drogas? No mota?"
"Of course not. What's going on?"
"The people next to you, you know they esmoke marihuana, no?"
"No"
"We taking them to the bote"
Yeah, I knew they smoked pot soon after they crowded onto the only decent parking spot in the area of the beach. They had an old psychedelic painted
school bus, while my Crown was a dignified white. They no sooner parked than the entire area began to smell like a range fire. Younger people. They
invited me to join in a communal meal a couple of times, but I begged off.
"You esure you do not smoke. You have no drogas?"
"I'm sure"
The four of them filed out. They wrapped bright pink tape around and around the school bus after trashing it. Sleep? You gotta be kidding me. I turned
the lights on the find a couple of the cops way the hell over on the far side of my bus, trying to life the lid on my tool hatch. The next afternoon
and tow truck showed up and towed the bus away. It drizzled crap out the swinging back door all the way to the highway.
This was the old PJF.
I have no idea what happened to them. The day after, I packed up and hauled. Lost a beautiful camp spot. The cops returned the day after and still
were snooping around. Three feet from the bus on my blind side is considered snooping.
I still am spooked about the possibility of being within a linear mile of people who use drugs in Mexico.

DavidE,
Well, Zipolte, Puerto Angel, and Mazunte are kinda like that...
You say that you had managed a hotel in Michoacan coastal area...lotsa mota drifting around there, as you know.
I appreciate the fear that arises when we might be too close to folks being popped....
Never sure who to trust at times 
Don't believe everything you think....

As long as I won't be confused with marijuanos and am not in the X-ring of someone's sights I could care less. The hotel had a sign. ¡No marijuana!
The marinas always asked permission before they walked across my property. I'll bet there is more pot within a mile radius of where you live than
where I live in Michoacan. Pilar told me a few months ago that an older kid tried to sell her pot. She's only 13 for god's sake. Jesús, sicced Beto on
him and the kid apparently is now walking around minus his front teeth. No different there than in the USA I guess. Wanna know if someone smokes pot?
Rub your finger down into their ashtray and then smell it. There is no tolerance, no liberalization of pot laws down here. Ask a cop. They'll arrest
and person and then state, "The judge will figure all this out". Wanna know how long it's going to take a judge to get around to it? Bring a calendar.

Here in Estados Unidos, the move toward legalization
of weed is just a question of when, not if, heard Calif may
have legalization on the ballot in the not too distant
future. San Blas so. of Matazlan surf trip, Policia tearing
the van apart looking for mota, they came up empty,
they were ticked off, thought thought the Ca surfers
had mota for sure

It's going to be interesting as legalization takes hold and we see if the whole world falls apart once this weed stuff is more readily available. I
doubt anything will be different -- except the treasury will have more tax money. I predict a small decrease in alcohol consumption as people choose
the lesser of two evils.
Let's take a look back from 100 years in the future.

Wow Jan, I was ready for an unconventional Baja Thanksgiving meal. Didn't see that coming. I guess it was Thanksgiving after all, they didn't bring
home trouble for you.
Better go to Ophelias for some Blue fin tuna to get back in the groove.

Wow, I'm guessing there's a very bizarre anti-pot crowd jumping on Jan's bandwagon. Hilarious, too. Think you folks are the target audience
for the medicinal variety. Relax, take a break. Have another margarita.
David? You might need some counseling around your PTS.

Right there with you Lee. Pretty uptight folks on Nomads lately! One of the reason I go to Baja is all the wild behavior and fun times.
I love to hear uptight "straights" talk about a topic (weed) they know nuthin' about.

Usually is a conversation stopper when the druggies call the non-druggies "uptight." But that really is a great word for describing so many people
and their rigidity

In the next 5-10 years I predict that most if not all US states along with Canada and most likely Mexico will have legalized maijuana for recreational
use. There is too much money to be made. The polls percentages that favor legalization are over 50%. The tide is turning and it won't be that long
before you will be able to order a Bud with your Bud.

...it's sad-but-true in my books,,and it's certainly not a topic I ''know nuthin' about''.
....I smoked a fair share of the weed in my 20's,,,it was an effective way to be counter-culture and all,,but I can't say the 'mellow' did me very
well,,and for me 'stoned' seems to be an appropriate phrase.I wish I could 'replay' some of those years!
..yes I'm sure that there's some positive medicinal values for
-any- herb,,medicinal MJ is a potent painkiller among other things....but the strengths of today's stuff definitely falls into the category of
powerful narcotic--don't fool yourself
.. why does such a vast portion of our society need such??

why does a vast portion of our society need 3-4 margaritas ? wasn't alcohol used for pain relief in the way back days. I believe most marijuana users
are imbibing in it for the very same reasons folks drink, relaxation and tohave a good time. the attitude towards weed has changed significantly in
just the past few years. Good, bad or indiferante it's here to stay.

I wonder how many people that enjoy an occasional toke realize that taxation is right on the heels of legalization.

Exactly, anything can be abused, but
used in moderation, it is no more harmful, and most likely a lot less than imbibing two or three c-cktails daily.
