Jan 2012

A friend of mine who was attending the University of Colorado at Boulder was raising weed in her dorm room-- and the RA was cool with it. As she was driving back to Arkansas for the Christmas holiday, she was carrying several other passengers, all of whom were apparently smoking dope. In the middle of the night, in the middle of Kansas, she was pulled over by a cop for going 85mph on I-70 (speed limit was 55 back then). Apparently, the cop didn't say anything about the dope smell, but he did write her a ticket for speeding-- and made her pay for it in cash (since she was out of state). He had her stuff close to $100 in an envelope, then escorted her to a mailbox.
