The First Time You Got Caught with Weed???

First time i got caught was my parents searching through my room. I was in my teens and had an 1/8 that i removed the stems and seeds from. Stored in a bb gun pellet case, stashed under the bottom drawer of my dresser. My step dad was like "you got the good stuff, all bud" it was schwagg. Mom called the cops and they came to confiscate it and give me a warning talk.

First time caught by cops. A friend and I were walking down the wrong side of the street. And cut through a yard to get to the creek. There was a little bridge there we used to sit on and smoke. Well as we cut through the yard a cop was driving by that we didn't see. He rolls around to the other side of the creek and comes sneaking down the hill trying to bust us. Well we had just got there and hadn't started smoking yet.

Cops like "there have been some break ins around here lately, and when i passed you boys walking on the wrong side of the road you ran into a private yard to get away from me. NOT what happened. We never even saw the pig. So he wants to look in our backpacks. My buddy has nothing on him so he opens his right up, then turns his pockets out. Course i got my new pipe i had just got at the beach the week previous, and just enough for one bowl pack of herb. And i tell him i don't think he can just stop us and search us like this. Caops says "well your buddy let me search him, do you have something to hide ?" Bullies me into giving up my rights and i open my shit up for him.

$50 fine and 30days probation for the small amount.
$100 fine and 1yr probation for the pipe.

1st time I was caught all blazed up by a cop.......

1st time I was caught all blazed up by a cop.......



it was a rainy night in in NY, in the town I drove taxi in, I was hitting a huge joint I'd rolled earlier and my van was filled with smoke, of course I'm obeying all speed & traffic laws to avoid being stopped but I did have a headlight out.

a cop was running radar from their sneak spot as usual and when he saw me he pulled out & turned right in behind me, I opened the front windows but the van just fuckin' stunk.

I gave him the paperwork he wanted, he looked up at me and asked "Don't I know you?", "Yup, I work for the taxi company." I told him, he nodded in agreement. Then I pushed my luck a bit and said "I sure could use a break on this."

He looked up a little surprised and said to me "Break? I'll give ya a break, do I smell something burning in there???" Understanding (hoping) that he still intended to give me a break I replied firmly but politely, "No sir, you do not!"

I got my ticket for the headlight, it was dismissed upon proof of repair.

i was 18 my sister rated me out to my farther that i smoked weed with this girlfriend i had. He refused to give me the money he was going to give me to go on a vacation trip with her , because she was a stoner and a bad influense. I worked my ass off the hole summer , in a constraction sight , and by the end of summer i went on holidays with another girlfriend i had by then witch now i m married with.

Next time i am 25 and i get a call from this guy i knew from the army . He was a huge bodybielder but he was such a good boy , he didnt smoke , drink or do anything illigal. Thats the mane reason i never hang out with him. So he contacs me and asks me if i want to have a coffee with him. There he tells me he had told some friends he could score some good weed , but he didnt know anywhere to get it. I said no problem lets go now to the gipses and i ll get some for my self and you can get some for your friends. I had a tiny motorbike back then , we both were inormus. We go to the gipses get about an oz each and left with motorbike. A block later a man stops as and tells as ther was a police block on the right and that we sould go left. It made sence cause the hole area was selling drugs. Every single house was selling drugs, so we thought he was one of the local people. Turnes out he was a police man that led as right into a police block two blocks later. They stop as and question as and we play cool. My idiot friend has turned in to red and was ready to cry. The policemen see that and start souting at him to see his reactions. He allmost pissed him self. 30 sec later he admits his crime and takes the weed out of his underware and turnes it over. I was told to drop my pants and they found my oz to. We were handcuped and taken to the station , but it was friday so we had to stay in the cell till monday when courts opened. I was triled 5 years later , in between i had to show up at the station every five of the month and sign a paper and wasnt allowed to leave the country. The day i was juged the rest of the people that were there , had been cought with at least a pound of heroin or like 100 pills of ecstasy. Thats bebause they had charged in a category of big time dealing. The judge got very pissed they had done that and said they didnt respect him time. Gave as a big lecture , adout how noone respects his time , and he had got sick of dealing with small time dope heads and that the problem with people like as was that we get cought and then he is late for dinner with his family. He pleded inocent to get revenge from the idiots that ruin his life as he said.

In 1997 me and my future wife had just copped a fat dime from my buddy and was on the way to the movies when I got pulled over for going straight at a right turn only arrow. Hard to see the sign at night so cops wait for someone to fuck up and that night it was me! I instantly see the flashing lights behind me and know it's gonna be a long night. It didn't help that I was driving with a suspended license. I thought about letting my lady hold it but I didn't want her to catch a case over a shitty dime bag so I just let the little bastard find it as he searched my car. I got handcuffed and taken to the holding tank. On the way the cop was laughing that he had fucked up my night. He was like" You got pretty young thang, some good herb, man, you were set for a good night til we cross paths!" Had to pay out 800.00 in lawyer's fees but they just put the case on a step docket. Stay out of trouble for a year and it goes away. Had a few close calls but this is the only weed charge I've ever caught. Thank GOD!!!
 
One night after I fell asleep Mom collected up the laundry and found my stash in my jeans pocket, way back when in the early 70's. It mysteriously disappeared. For some reason after that laundry collection was always after the household was asleep. She never, ever mentioned it for the rest of her life. Bless her soul! Unfortunately it wasn't the last time It happened a few more times. lol

I was a freshly turned 18yr old "adult" accompanying my local heroin trafficker to the projects to pick up his supply for the week.
2am, he tells to stay in the car (with) the seat layed all the way back...while he goes in the building. Not 5 min later I hear a talking on a radio. I pop my head up and two plainclothes cops r standing just outside the car door. They proceed to open car door, pull me out and search me and the car. They found in my backpack a few grams a pipe and a stolen #420 state police license plate. (From a diff neighboring state).
The cops r laughing n yucking it up, but telling me I'm lucky to not have Gottn shot down in the hood.. They bring me to jail anyway. They tell me bail is $50. I say it's in my wallet n then they tell me there is no $ in ur wallet. Robbed also..
Anyway my buddy came to the jail n bailed me out @3am.. Heroin stash in his ride., parked outside the jail.. To this day I'm so surprised he came n got me out.
I didn't go back to court for the charge for 7 years (was on felony probation in my home state n knew a conviction would get back to my po.. When I finally went n turned myself in ..they dismissed the charge if I agreed to pay $150 in court fees..
Somehow I made it threw all my stupid drug addled years never having to spend more then a week in jail..
Lucky I gues

As a teenager my mom would find my herb stash (and scale) n take them both..
After she had taken the 3rd or 4th one I was like ma, I don't care if u take my herb to smoke but why u gotta take my scale also this things r expensive..
Neither of my parents were what u would call disciplinarians, after I turned 16 n got a car they just let me do what I wanted..
In hindsight considering my maturity level and decision making skills this was an awful parenting policy

National Park in SF.

Memorial Day weekend, 1989 ... Christ ... 25 years ago.

I was driving a camouflage green VW bug.

Had some Mex. Mersh in a tuna fish can.

I was putting it down on the floor, RIGHT WHEN a motorcycle cop pulled up alongside me.

Judge threw out the case.

Cops threw out the mersh.

I felt very worried for about a week, till I got the dismissal letter.


Heck, that was SF - they should have given me an UPGRADE, from Mersh to Sinse. :woohoo:
 
I've lead a lucky life. I've been in the wrong place at the wrong time a few times but never been popped for anything (knock on wood) Parents never found anything or questioned me. School knew I was wrapped up in some shit but never could prove anything. Never really had the cliche "Oh Fuck" moment as dickish as that sounds.

Since this is a first time thread, I'll tell my first encounter with a police helicopter. Went to this wild party out on this huge rural estate during my scandalous days. This was the craziest party I had ever seen. Tons of gorgeous women and for a lack of a better word thugs rolling around this huge rural estate. There was mud wrestling, MCs, all this crazy shit was going on. It seemed like every small scale to medium weight drug dealer in the surrounding area codes was at this thing. This party I swear to God had security that you had to pass before entering and all these beefy dudes with ear pieces. I had never seen anything like it and it was odd that a 20-year old awkward college kid like me would be there. I was rolling on about eight - ten ecstasy pills that night. I remember rolling around with two girls on a trampoline that night... :D

We had left this party to go to another party. As we got to the other party, no exaggeration the party was surrounded by about 50 cop cars. That was a pretty awesome sight rolling on so much ecstasy. The scene was just chaos with cops and fucked up kids in the middle of this raid. So we drive back to the other party.

As we get back to the original party, the gate to the driveway is locked. My buddy gets out and I see him talking to the owner of the house frantically all of sudden my car was enveloped with light. For a second I thought I was being abducted by aliens. I thought I was having a seizure and God was talking to me. Nope... a fucking police helicopter just lit us up in this guy's driveway.

The owner of the house goes running into the darkness, my friend comes running back to the car. About ten sheriff cars come racing up behind us and some fucking keyed up cops guns drawn come running up to the car. I've got two fucked up people in the car including a blacked out minor. They're screaming questions, I'm telling some bullshit story about showing up at this party to pick up drunk friends, my pupils are the size of golf balls.

The driveway between a bunch of pissed off cops, this locked gate and a fucking gang shootout was one lane long and they're screaming at me to get the fuck out of the way. I drive my car up onto a cliff as they bust through the gate and go racing hardcore into whatever fucking chinese fire drill was going on at the party. I turned around and got the fuck out there before anyone could think twice about me.

As we're driving away through the rural area, it's just a horror show of police and gangsters all over the roads. Tons of arrests and bad nights. It was shocking that all the people I was running with had left just before this all broke out and none of my people got hurt or arrested that night. The papers and news did a bunch of stories about it the next few days. I guess it was a big thing with some kids getting popped and a massive drug thing getting busted in this rural town. But what do I know, the media never gets it right.

There were a number of close calls in my wild years now that I think about it. But I always narrowly escaped due to being a big affluent white guy who knows how to talk to authority figures.

Edit: Haha I'm sorry, I didn't realize that story was so long. I just got into telling it.

First and last? Summernight in 1981, but I ran away, the cop after me, but he didn´t caught me. What me caught, was the mushrooms after the run. :biggrin:

those were the days when they had 2 types of law, common sense and statutory, the cop was the decider in the formula. Common sense law says for a small amount you don't ruin someone's life, statutory law (which always applies today) says if there's a statute for an offense you charge the person. Cops don't give a lot of breaks these days.

US Forest Service truck drove up to watering tank truck on forest road....we were using Tribal lands at the time, southside summit @ 9600 ft., water piped down to plants, cascading several hundred feet. Had a Mtn. Dew can on the tank, quenching my thirst after hiking to make sure water lines were watering amply(mid Sept.....weeks before harvest). Had to bushwack through dense oak shrubs, could hear the Forest ranger looking, getting as close as 20 ft. from us. Didn't budge, didn't breathe.

Took can (for finger prints, probably). Nothing ever came from it, guerilla grow wasn't found (180 plants), but from then on, watered, parked the water truck in opposite direction, and out of sight. And NEVER grew that much again....ahhhh, the good ol' days....1984.

Ganja gods were looking after us, for sure!

Lemme see...first time

Germinating seeds at 16 along with the tomato plants...Mom was a bit of a gardener and told me I must have gotten some crappy soil cause I had weeds growing where I should have tomoto starts...


Last time

I opened my home to a stranger, and ended up getting busted with over 100 plants indoor, due to someone sending plants over the border(not cuts...but rooted plants). 18months house arrest.

Live and learn...

One time in high school, they did a big raid.
Started calling people through the intercoms, one or two at a time... They had 2 rooms to search people.

I got called... They told us to bring our things with us.
I get to the room, and there is the new hot blonde intervention lady... Not a smiley person. And there was this other intervention guy (there was another guy too, but he was in another room, the one i was with was considered the cooler one)

So they say they suspect i have marijuana.
I had 2 dimebags in my backpack, in a stealth hiding place.
And i had half a dimebag in my back pocket of my pants.

They ask me to take my pockets out, i do, i take the one with the half g out... Slowly in a way that kept the baggie inside...

Searched bag, didnt find.

Asked me to take out the back pocket with the half dime bag out again... Goddamn
I did the same trick again, and it was safe....

My friends... I got saved...

Then there was a couple minutes left until recess and they said they didnt want to search my locker in front of others, because it would embarass me. God bless even though i did not have anything..

Close call

I went outside.. People were talking about the bust, couple of acquaintances/dealers had been busted with half ounces...

Suffice to say, our joint that lunch time was good.

Long before I even smoked pot I love the plant.

It was 1976 and I only ten.

My older step brother had a bag with seed stashed in his sock drawer. (were else lol)I took some of the seed. I knew from growing veggie plants that they were a seed and I had to grow them to see what the plant looked like. Didn't even know what pot was or what it looked like.

So I get a small 4" terracotta flower pot and some of the compost we had for the garden. Popped in three seeds and set it in my bed room window. A week goes by and one seed sprouted. I kept it growing for a month. This little plant with its cool looking leaves grew to a foot or so tall. Long slender leaves with serrations on the edges. Never in my life. (at that time) Had seen such a cool looking plant.
I had grown tons of veggies and house plants and even knew how to take cuttings from house plants @ 10.

Then one night my step mom was tucking me in and spotted the plant in the widow. When she shut the curtain. She asked me what it was. I told her I didn't know but the seed came from a bag in Greg's sock drawer. OH man did that ever stir up a sht storm.
The old man went ballistic on the brother and I was grounded for a month.
I didn't understand why. (parents didn't tell me what it was) I got into trouble over a cool looking little plant until a few years later. When the police did one of the school mc gruff drug classes. They had this bag of fresh plants. Showing us what to look out for, to rat people out. This is marijuana and it's a killer drug. bla bla bla.

When they lit some up to let us smell what it smelled like.

I said WOW that smells good. To which the cop said we'll need to keep an eye on you boy and every one laugh at me. Never will forget that day.

I was 16 when I tried it for the first time. Columbian gold. Damn that was a great buzz. Been buzzing ever since and also caught a many times with home made pipes from brass fittings but never stash.

Just wish I knew then. What I know now.

great thread :biggrin:
