After I returned from a driving trip through Mexico, I found a small
film canister full of "green bud" under the spare tire in my recently
acquired '70 Bus.  Apparently the previous owner had an illicit drug
habit, as I removed many straws, empty bindles and razor blades as
well.  I found this cannister after having the van thoroughly searched
at the border by both the Federales in Mexico and US BP (w/dogs), and
this was just around the time of their new 'zero tolerance' policies. 
If they'd found that canister during one of those searches, no doubt I
wouldn't be here today.

Incidentally, that bud was still potent ;)
