there was a iime in the late 70's and mid 80's i would bring back enuff to last me and girlfriend for much of the year.( light users.) the in 1990 i got caught , it was a friday so spent 3 nights in mo bay jail. hired a lawyer he go me out for a hefty fee. it was a harrowing experience ,one that makes for a good story but one i have no interest in doing again. the court room was a hoot though as they wore the white wigs. my attorney knew he had me by the cohones as i was told if i did not have an attorney i could be in there for a while. we had about 10 of us in a cell and the only non jamaican was a british guy who had been in for 6 months and had been told originally it would just be a few days so that along with the fact he appeared to be losing his marbles. figured i better hire the lawyer.
he was my slepmate as he was able to have a cot(we slept opposite ways) as he told the cellmates he would get them some money when he got released. i did get a ride over to Tim who owned Tim Air and he fronted me some money off a credit card to pay some expenses. the police who took me had me give them some "gas money".
as i sd pretty bad experience but a good story to tell. needless to say i no longer bring anything back (maybe just a small bit now and then)
