Thanks for correcting my typo. It is quite clear from this sentence that
it's a drug commune, and the chances are that's where Zoyd scores his "own"
dope, and one of the main reasons he heads straight there in the first
place; similarly, one of the first things Zoyd looks for at Mucho's place is
the "guest stash" so he can mooch off of it because he doesn't want to smoke
his "own". 

It's not in the text that they search him at the police station and take
away any dope he's carrying but it's reasonable to infer that that's what
happens. At this point in the novel drugs are as important to Zoyd as his
child, if not moreso. It's a point of the plot that he becomes a reasonably
responsible father, as I wrote, but at this stage it wasn't looking too
promising.
