This was a close one! I drive a lot for work all through Southern Arizona. I had a case that was about an hour and forty-five minutes away with three in between so I decided to make it so the last case was the furthest away and bring a "J" with me for the ride back.
I finished my day and began the arduous journey home and lit up to pass the time. I totally forgot that I had to drive through a border patrol check fully equipped with federal agents and a drug sniffing dog. With the checkpoint less than two miles away and smoke billowing out of the car I said, "Crap!" and threw my "J" out the window and rolled the windows down all the way.
I was pretty paranoid but thought, "What's the worst they can do?". I had no drugs in the vehicle and there's no way to prove I'm stoned so I figured at the worst they'd hold me for a couple of hours and I could use the break.
With the hand I had been smoking with hanging out the window, the German Shepherd rushed to my truck and started licking my hand. The agent thought he was being playful, scolded him, and kept moving. The next agent asked if I was a citizen and I was in the clear!
Driving away I laughed so hard when I smelled by hand to met with the most pungent odor. Poor dog was just doing his job and now that agent scolded him for finding the odor of marijuana. You're welcome!
Thanks for viewing!
