Word-for-word conversation with a scraggly-looking guy by the sushi place we went to for lunch. On Sunset Blvd(Lindsay's hangout street!). As we were leaving in my roommate's car, the stranger came up to our car and this dialogue took place.

"Hey guys, are you from here?"

"Nah."

"Oh...well, I just got out of jail and I wanna get stoned. You guys got any weed?"

"Nah."

"Not even a roach or something?"

"Nah, but you can have a cigarette."

"Oh...I don't smoke."

that reminds me of my friend who'd lecture me for hours when i'd have one cigarette, but thought nothing of drinking nearly every night until he couldn't move.

poor guy, I hope he found some weed.

Someone tried to sell me mushrooms once in while I taking a piss at a Chicago bus station. Mushrooms for sale in the men's bathroom.

I was down in Krabi several years back and trying to procure magic mushrooms at this little beach hut place I was staying at. I had been told the owner could hook me up. I went to his little office/hut and he was there with what turned out to be his young daughter, who looked around 14 or 15. Anyway, there was a bit of a communication breakdown and to cut a long story short I managed to somehow basically make sexual advances on his daughter by way of some unwitting slang (I believe I referred to her genitalia several times), which didn't go down well. When I finally managed to explain myself, and believe me I felt like giving up several times but had to push on through, he was almost equally disgusted by my attempts to buy drugs from him.

I'm sure he did, but it might've been from an undercover cop.

if he was, wouldn't that have been entrapment??

abierman said:

I don't think it would be if he asked the cop for it. But I'm not a cop, I just watch alot of SVU.

live4lust said:

We all know how easy it is to get drugs in jail, so I'm not surprised that this guy is hankering for a toke.

well if he "just got out of the joint" obviously he has a P.O, and if he gets caught with dirty piss... he goes right back

Empress said:

we thought maybe he was in jail for the night due to being caught with weed, so maybe they made sure he coudln't get any.

abierman said:

No and entrapment is hard to prove. The defense has to prove that you were induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit said acts. For the defense to be successful, the defendant must demonstrate that the police induced an otherwise unwilling person to commit a crime. When police are doing a sting operation they have to take not entraping people into consideration. It is a very hard thing to prove and not done all that often....I think I explained that right....

LisasBrush said:

live4lust said:

o, i think i know now.

live4lust said:

see next time luke perry wants a roach or something. its best you help him out. he WAS on 90210 ya know.

i was just at Wlgreen's and a friend reminded me of a strange encounter i had there.

i entered the laundry detergent aisle and there was an older, 70-ish man perusing the bottles. as i grabbed what i needed, he asked me, in a British accent, if i knew which detergent had enzymes. my mind immediately though of that oxy wash stuff, which i saw and pointed out for him. "no," he said, "those aren't enzymes. i need enzymes so i can take blood stains out of clothing."

i stood there kinda shocked and not sure if i should aid his search for a blood cleaner. after what felt like a long time, he told me i didn't have to help him. it was quite bizarre!!!

damn i love l.a.!

A woman just got arrested here in NY for strollin down the aisle at Walmart snorting heroin with her child.

I remember a few years ago they nabbed
a guy selling exstasy at Taco Bell parking lot here in NY also.
