1. Here's one: Smokin' some badass hash in Amsterdam, 1973.
Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end.

3. Hey! I think I remember part of 1973.
It might be the part when money got us through times of no dope not nearly so smooth as dope would have got us through times of no money ...

6. Whatever. Far out. Also, first turned on to Curtis Mayfield.
Fall 1973, drinkin' local brews, reel to reel just-out Superfly album. Pushin' dope for the man. Freddie's dead.

38. That's not a crime!
And besides, we all did that. The drugs, the porn, the prostitutes! Ah, memory!

I did get accosted at Newark airport after leaving Amsterdam.

"What drugs are you smuggling?"
For once I could honestly say "None" - we all used to smuggle drugs from Amsterdam.
"What porn are you carrying?"
"None you idiot! I live in SF. We make our own!"

It was a surreal moment.

Khash.

44. Bizarre
I came back from Amsterdam, and was waved through customs. Not even a glance. Especially weird because I had a beard and a year's worth of hair in a ponytail. If anyone looked like a smuggler, it was me!

47. I almost got popped; also deported from Holland.
Kicked out of Holland for not having my return plane tickets to USA on me (left them with a friend in Berchtesgarden, Germany. Long story). Helped two Italian fugitives escape to Belgium; consoled French girl about loss of boyfriend; designated as referee by guards and passengers because I could speak none of their languages, and they couldn't speak English (lively!). Returned with tickets, picked up a nice chunk of hash and headed back (unlike today, I had much hair). Figured I fit a bad profile (no drug dealer here, just some stash for friends to share), so when I got on the train, I tucked the chunk into a matchbox and put it in the ashtray next to me. Sure enough, got strip searched by Dutch AND German guards (hope they enjoyed it), from anus to tubes on my backpack. Cleared, walked back to my seat on the train, picked up the hash and had a mighty fine time with that, good friends and a bottle of wine. Those were indeed the days; long gone, but I can't say I have regrets over a story like that.

48. That's a great story!
It would make a terrific short film.

Here's my druggie story:

My lover was making a big buy - several thousand dollars worth of crank. I was there because I was fronting him the money. So it's all like shady and weird.... and the dealer doesn't know me and he's trying to make conversation. He asks "what do you do for a living?" I gave him my best glare and said "I'm a DEA agent and you're under arrest." You should have seen the look on his face!

My lover was furious! "Do you know how close you came to getting us both killed?! God! I oughta kill you myself!"

I thought it was funny. So did the dealer after he got over the initial shock.

Khash.

49. As CCR said, You Are The Fortunate One.
I suspect I am of another g-g-g-Generation, but would love to hear some dates as to when this happened. And don't do that again, OK? We need all of us weirdos here. The adventures to come are too amazing. Would love to hear your age, and experiences. Lost so many dear friends to drugs; hope that didn't happen to you. Hint: My daughter is 29; brilliant and whacked.

17. The story of my life?
As Steven Wright once observed, he knew he was a product of a Cesarean birth because every time he left his house, he went out the window.

And as Groucho once said, love walks out the door when money comes innuendo.

Or something like that.

21. GTA (Grand Theft Animal)
Why?

Because, an abused animal is a recovered animal in waiting, AND, I look dead damn sexy in a balaclava and camo.

I have HUGE boltcutters, too.

Photo proof...check her out, cuz she's beautiful...

23. Having sex in public
(Like none of you saw that one coming!)

When I was a teen I had sex with a 55 yearold woman in Union square.

I was underage so it was statutory rape.

If the cops had shown up I wonder what they would have charged us with - her for violating a minor? Me for violating a senior? Or would they have just said "Go for it, kid!"

39. Some friends and I "decorated" the front entrance to the high school
and the surrounding greenery one night. Nothing damaging, just TP and some undergarments. By the time we got to school the next morning the maintenance department had gotten most of it down, but several pieces that had been flung into some high tree branches stayed there for several days. :evilgrin:
