It was 2007 and I had just finished a terrible semester at school so this trip to Bonnaroo (music festival) with my best friends who I haven't seen in a good year was well in order. Of course being stoners we decided to bring about....an ounce and a half with us. There were several of us so we decided to go in four cars and take the back roads to avoid cops...how young and naive we were. So as we're driving along we decided to pass a few joints around to start things off smoothly. Everything was great for the first half hour. We were well stoned with some very icky sticky having our laughs going back to the songs we were singing (had to quote Lennin sorry). Not 15 minutes or so after we finished smoking we see this massive collection of cops along the side of the road pulling people over left and right. It was an ambush. These cops in this little town knew this would be a route in which many stoner bonnaroo lovers would be traveling so they set up a trap. Within our convoy there was a friend in the car behind us with a bunch of obvious bumper stickers and two friends in the front two cars. The first one was pulled over because his windows were too tinted and the second one was immediately pulled over because he failed to put on his turn signal to pass our friend with the tinted windows when he slowed down. Looking back at it I thought it was pretty funny because I thought it would be a great idea to let the dude with the tinted windows carry all of our stuff (mainly so we wouldn't get busted if pulled over). We were scared shitless at this point so for the next 30 miles down the road we drove as perfect as possible not exceeding the speed limit nor going under. I suppose we lucked out because our other two friends saved us as well as the fact that we were riding in our friends moms car.

Anyway, we made it there in one piece. One of our friends who got pulled over made it too because they cleverly hid their stuff in a doritos bag. The other one wasn't so lucky. He only had about a gram but he did have his prescribed adderall as well as several beers which got him in trouble as well. He got landed in jail and had a several thousand dollar bailout. Fortunately his dad was the richest and most easy going out of all of ours so not only did he pay for the bailout but he let him go to bonaroo, of course he got punished later. It was actually pretty funny too because the second we got to our camp site a news reporter for our local newspaper came by and asked us how our experience was so far. We ended up telling him the whole thing and told him our friends name and how he got busted so when it came out all of the parents in our town read the paper and saw his name on it describing his arrest lol. I would say it was a dick move but at that point everyone in town knew what we were up to anyway so its not like it was too shocking but still... funny as shit knowing that everyone in our town now knows of his arrest.
