When I think back to how much time, $, and energy was spent cuffing and stuffing us ‘potheads’, it makes my 'pot’head swim.
Cuffs, insults, threats, and worse…for weed, or less, maybe a beer ticket. It was a trip.
Here is one for you: At a concert, go figure
Usher outside gates points all patrons to go left to this particular entrance. No biggie, we all go, a few hundred of us, but when we arrive, the gate is locked, and there is noone there to take our tickets. So, we turn around and go back to the ‘middle’, searching for the entrance, which I have entered DOZENS of times. Why is it so difficult this time?/?? dunno, but here is where it gets ugly
The same usher, shouts intoa blow horn, as i am passing him, for all people to go left to the ‘other’ gate.
I said, loudly, noooooooooo dont go left, it’s locked, and we were all getting squished.
Cuffed, stuffed, done. 12 hours chained sitting up to a wall. For ‘inciting’ a riot. Imagine what I could get away with today, umm ya…
Here is where it gets really UGLY…
One of the cops did not like me, and thought he could and should kick my ass. i disagreed with him, and let him know he would lose badly, to a loser pothead. He left without incident, other than telling me how bad i smelled, they still hadnt found the nugs in my pocket, the whole place smelled like a skunks ass!!!
At 6.am. they kicked me awake, as is customary, and ushered me into the main office, maybe a 15’ x 15’ space. I stood there alone in a circle of 20 cops. They uncuffed me, and in walks what’s his name, who hates stinkin hippies.
I refused to fight him, and demanded the captain have my cuffs put back on. Had I fought him, he would be badly hurt, but I would be dead. Who says potheads are stoopid?
lesson, don’t get arrested, and you wont get screwed by the fuzz. Go into custody for any reason, all bets are off. sad but true, live it, learn it.
