In Hawaii, the drugs just float right up to you
Posted on November 12, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized
Yesterday, Wyatt and I went to what we were told is the “Children’s Beach” while the rest of the crew was snorkeling.
Besides the beach being beautiful and kid-friendly (waveless w/ great sand), there were several cool things for Wyatt to look at. For example, there was a couple trying to get their bulldog to stand on one of those long surf boards that you paddle while standing up in calm water. At one point, Wyatt was busy playing near them which put me about 10 feet or so behind the husband of this couple. As I am watching Wyatt and therefore looking down at the water, I see these two things floating up to me. They were clear tubes about 5 inches long with either red or orange tops on them that acted like corks to keep the contents dry; think the proverbial message bottle in the ocean. I reach out, scooped them up, and read the writing on one of them. It said “California Compassionate Use Act” and gave an address. I thought about it for a moment and realized they were probably used for marijuana; sure enough, as I looked closer to determine if there was anything inside of either of them, I saw that one was empty and the other had—guess what—one joint inside. So, as I am standing there, with the Pacific Ocean and Wyatt swirling around my feet, I decided that it would be unwise of me to go ahead and stash these tubes in my pocket and enjoy the contents later (work requires the occasional ‘random’ piss test). I asked the guy with the dog if they belonged to him and he said they did, so I gave them back. I think he was a little embarrassed, although obviously he had no need to be. Obviously, this is pretty close to the very last thing I expected to happen to me on vacation in Hawaii.
