My closes brush with the law was years and years ago me and a friend ran into a bunch of cops while smoking a joint, we dropped the thing and played it cool and got away with some annoying questions.

What was your closest call?

I used to be in a band. I didn't partake at the time but the lead vocalist did.

We were gearing up for a show in Birmingham Alabama and he was standing out by the dumpster toking up to calm his pre-show jitters.

So, he's halfway through a bowl when the friendly neighborhood police officer walks around behind him and taps him on the shoulder.

I was fairly distant but I could hear what the officer said.

He said, you playing here tonight?

My friend said yes sir

The officer said, do you still want to be playing here tonight?

My friend said yes sir

The officer said throw that shit in the trash.

My friend Chucked it immediately.

Officer said have a good day and walked on.

So yeah, pre-show jitters were absolutely not calmed. We bombed that day not that we were very good to begin with but we were especially bad that night, and then after the show was over we went out to the dumpster and crawled in and found the weed and the bowl and rescued it.

By some miracle no trash had been thrown on top of it so of course first going to the place we were staying he smoked the rest.
