This is a very weird situation. ‘Cause I don’t know if you remember back in ’86 there was a major fucking drought. Nobody had anything. People were living on resin… smoking the wood in their pipes for months. This chick had a bunch. And she’s begging me to sell it. So I told her I wasn’t going to be Joe the potman anymore, but I would take a little bit and sell it to my close, close, close friends. She agreed to that, said we’d keep the same arrangement as before; 10%, free pot for me, as long as I helped her out that weekend. She had a brick of weed she was selling, she didn’t want to go to the buy alone. Her brother usually goes with her, but he’s in county unexpectedly.
His traffic tickets. Got a warrant. They stopped him for something, found warrants on him, took him to county. Now she doesn’t walk around alone with all that weed. I don’t want to do this. I have a very bad feeling about it. But she keeps asking me, keeps asking me, keeps asking me, finally I said OK ’cause I’m sick of hearing it. Now, we’re picking the guy up at the train station…
The guy needed it right away. Don’t ask me why. Anyway, we’re get to the station and we’re waiting for the guy. I’m carrying the weed in one of those little carry-on bags. I got to take a piss. So I tell the connection I’ll be right back, I’m going to the boys’ room. So I walk in the mens’ room, and who’s standing there? Four Los Angeles county sheriffs and a German shepherd.
No, they’re just a bunch of cops hanging out in the men’s room, talking. When I walked through the door, they all stopped what they were talking about and they looked at me.
German shepherd starts barking. He’s barking at me. I mean, it’s obvious. He’s barking at me. Every nerve-ending, all my senses, blood in my veins, everything I have is screaming, “Take off, man! Just bail, just get the fuck out of there!” Panic hits me like a bucket of water. First there’s the shock of it… -BAM!… -right in the face. I’m standing there drenched in panic. All these sheriffs looking at me, and they know, man. They can smell it. Sure as that fucking dog can, they can smell it on me.
