Dope mount escape?

I'm not sure if the position has a different name, I have only seen it called the dope mount (not 10th planet).

19 second mark for the position.

First thing I think of, 10th planet BJJ and Stoner Control lol.
Odd thing is it's not 10th planet as far as I know. There are a few threads on the position on sherdog but none discussing how to escape...
It is actually a guard pass to the mount that BJ Penn uses a lot.

If we're talking about the same position then I haven't really been put in that situation any significant number of times, 3 or 4 times max, or remember said position very well so I wouldn't know.
Maybe try rolling to your stomach and when/if he tries to put his hooks in keep rolling through it to get halfguard. But, I'm just spewing out theoretical stuff that probably wouldn't and would get your back taken or mounted if it did.
Or you could try moving to inverted guard like the other guy said, but I would think the top guy would be putting some serious pressure on you which would make contorting in such a way difficult IMHO.
Good question though, got me thinking. Probably ask my instructor tomorrow.

looking through that thread now and it makes more sense, the naming conventions threw me for a loop, ive always know that particular position as an over leg turk.
its a pretty bad spot to be in since the other guy has an angle in behind you, best advice (after 'dont let him get there in the first place') is to push off and shrimp away, try to regain a better position.

You know, I literally know f*ck all about BJJ except shrimping and maybe one guard pass really, I just came in here to see how many funny mary jane/10th Planet jokes there'd be because I'm an immature little dick weasel, but maybe the best thing is to just not get mounted? Seems like the best idea to me. (Q the fuuny Forrest Griffin face where he raises the roof and gives you a sh*t eating grin)

ooohh, the shitty-half guard. Don't follow Penn all that much to remember that.

Shrimp out to methamphetamine-sundae sit, wrap his arm and underhook his leg to go to heroine-surprise and finally forward roll to end up in herpes-galore and finish him with a rohypnol-penetration.
