<p>In the wake of the pontiff's recent passing, I remembered how once,
way back in the day, me and a friend went to buy herb from the Pope of
Pot, a notorious herb dealer who treated weed as sacrament. He sold out
of a comic book shop in the village, but there were NO comic books in
site (although there was one dude there who was making his own version
of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers") He wore a big pope hat with a
pot leaf on it, and he introdced himself to us by saying "Hi, Im the
pope". He sold us weed then took out a huge bag and asked if anyone
there could roll as he was too stoned. I said I could. There must have
been 10 other people hanging out there (wouldn't you with the whole
room smoking every time someone came in to buy?) I rolled a fatty and
the pope says after it was done..."You roll a really good joint, roll
another". I sat there all proud thinking "the pope likes my joints"</p>
<p> This
guy was notorious in NY. He ran a pot delivery service (1-800-WANT-POT)
and even called Howard Stern one day to plug the service on air. Of
course he was busted shortly thereafter. He could be seen at the annual
May Day smokeout and march at Washington Square Park (where everyone
therewould be smoking in front of a bunch of cops who wouldn't bust you
as long as you stay INSIDE the park with your smokes). Rolling Stone
even wrote a story about this guy.<br />
</p>
<p>So who else has a Pope of Pot story? <br />
