Well, This Was a First - Update
You know how your family has friends, and then the friends decide they want to come to Baja for Thanksgiving, so you get busy figuring out what to
recommend for dinner, because you want them to feel welcome. but don't have the time to go all out, so if not turkey, well, OK, it's lobster season
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.

"Friends of friends" is too out-there for us, normally, for the reasons you cite here, and more. Yes, you have to put your foot down fast, I am
thinking. Well done!!!
I also agree with BajaGuy.

Many people equate Mexico with drugs simultaneously. At least they didn't pull a fast one on you and bake some funny brownies.

Hey Motoged
Was that picture taken in San Felipe?
They said that all their friends told them to go to San Felipe.

You did well. I do not tolerate anything remotely illegal with people I
travel with to Mexico Not in a country where a single lost cartridge picked out of
the trunk could get you in all sorts of hot water. Not even bringing back
so called "Cuban" cigars. Too easy to get into trouble and $oo hard to
get out.

You did the right thing, Gypsy Jan.
My nephew came to visit me in Coyote Bay with a small baggy in 1984. The chief of police tells every Christmas that if I withdraw my complaint and
vouch for him, he could be paroled in year or two.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Maybe they wanted to test how well the decriminalization has worked in Mexico.

Dennis, I Am Being Deliberately Vague
As you probably infer since you are a very smart person.
I was gobsmacked by the sudden turn of events and do not want to be specific about who or what because I don't want anyone to get hurt, arrested or
otherwise have their vacation trip to Baja spoiled.
