However, as a senior citizen you're probably uneasy about buying pot from shady guys on dark corners, so I offer the following tips to help you score and get home in one piece. = Wear rubber-soled shoes and non-restrictive clothing. You may be required to run fast and jump fences and other obstacles should your deal go sour. = Travel in groups. Nothing so terrorizes and confuses gangbangers as the sight of a dozen or so senior citizens moving en masse along the sidewalk with their formidable array of walkers, canes and seeing-eye dogs. = If trouble arises, grab your chest and feign a heart attack. Drop to the ground and demand that somebody call 911. The attacker will be afraid you'll die on him and he'll end up on Death Row. (Practice a death rattle, roll your eyes, mutter about tunnels and bright lights to convince him you are actually in extremis.) = Take only enough money to complete the deal. No jewelry, watches, credit cards, extra cash. Wear old clothes to appear poor and avoid being overcharged by resentful, class-conscious pot dealers. = Have a driver keep the motor running while you transact business with the dealer(s). Your handicapped parking pass will enable you to park near brightly lit buildings and help you make a speedy exit if pursued. = If all else fails, you can always grow marijuana in an unused closet and avoid dark corners altogether.
