The Idiot — after spending almost three weeks in Durango, CO, to complete production of a book entitled The Paris Metro 40th Anniversary Issue: The Book About Paris Yesterday that will be published on September 1 — managed to leave a state where marijuana is sold legally and complete his road trip through Utah, Nevada and California without getting arrested.

The Idiot left Durango, CO, at dawn last Friday and took the high road through Silverton and Ouray, which is often referred to as “the Switzerland of Colorado.”

The Idiot entered Utah without any anxiety or stress and whizzed past the famous Book Cliffs where he ran into only two other tourists.
Utah’s Book Cliffs, so called because the sandstone capping the south-facing buttes looked, to the first cartographers, like shelves of books.
The two most interesting tourists The Idiot spoke to while traversing Utah asked him to explain why one state can sell marijuana and another cannot.
Despite his sensitive cargo, The Idiot sped across Utah and was going 80 miles an hour when he took a photo of the sign indicating the speed limit and raced across the Utah Salt Flats into Nevada.

The Idiot — who spent Friday night in a $40 hotel room in Elko, NV — wasn’t worried just after sunrise when he saw one of the most frequent signs on Interstate 80, aka the Dwight D. Eisenhour Highway and Purple Heart Trail.

The Idiot breezed into California and was waved through the California Border Protection Station, which impounds plant material being brought into the state.
How did he manage to make the trip back to California without getting busted for transporting weed, which can be legally purchased in Colorado, in various forms?
He didn’t have any.
