Official "How to *NOT* get caught" Thread?

[dirtybongwater]

I bought the most recent HEADS mag today and thought this was worth sharing. I'm going to go ahead and try to make this the official how not to get caught thread too. I'm linking some very popular threads of how to keep from getting caught and how people have been caught so you can avoid it. Please continue to post other ideas, comments, and uncatchable tid-bits in this thread.

Bravo, you did a great job with this thread...

I love that cartoon, too, it almost makes me wanna go out and pick up a heads magazine...

[nizate]

nice thread, glad I read it. I usually abide by all of them but the cigarette looking J's.

[IcedHorror]

nice. this is very useful i think ill buy that book.

[mike59271]

nice job DBW, i think we should all add little tips that should help us or did help us get out of situations and stuff like that...

for me i never hide anything in more than one place, i always keep it in these 2 sometimes 3 (if i have alot of weed, like an ounce or more) air tight things that are on my wieght bench system thing...i used to smoke in my room but after one time when i smoked a bowl came back in and my mom walked in and smelled pot (didnt get caught though) i stoped that...never smoke in your room while people are home...even if you use a spoof the smoke from the bowl hit you just took will linger...do it in the shower if need be while people are home...dont get cocky, use a spoof too it never eliminates the smell completly if you dont.

when doing it in the shower open a window turn on a vent and smoke up but cover the bowl after every hit to make sure now smoke is getting out...o ya back to the stash...never hide it in a new place everytime...if you hide it in the same place all the time youll never loose it or wake up from a session from the night before and wounder where you hid it...always put everything you got back when your done...dont leave anything like roaches, papers, filters, dryer sheets, spoofs, like that out in the open or anywhere else for that matter...also dont take out your piece periodically to view it, because it smells where it is and itll smell up your room if you keep takin it out, the less you take it out the less a chance it looks like its a commonly used place to put stuff and nobody will think to look there...

hmm well thats enough for now i suppose good luck

[Mr Skinner]

Yup...I agree on all points...actually it's so easy, but some still fuck up...

[CGTennis123]

For me when the parents are lurking around I'll get a knee brace and put it on my thihg and hide my stash and my bowl like right under my balls so even if my parents did go to the extreme to pat me down they wouldn't feel anything.

[dirtybongwater]

Thanks guys. HEADS is a decent mag. I was impressed with this issue. This is number 4 in their Best of Ghetto Tech. I thought this would be a great addition to this thread. If there are any copywriting issues with this please let me know and I'll creatively link to it.

How not to get caught? Dont smoke.

Here's what I do to smoke cigs/pot when my parents are home. I have no bathrooms with windows and at night my house makes a lot of creaking noises (lots of stairs and hardwood floors) so movement could wake my parents up. So, I'm forced to smoke in my room "after hours."

A lot of this stuff you've heard/know already. I find it refreshing to type it all out, and it might be handy to someone, so here goes...

My parents hate the fact I smoke cigarettes (in fact, I lied and told em I quit) and could not imagine what would happened if they discovered me with pot. Therefore, my own secrecy takes priority to getting high. It's sad, but I'm a sheltered suburban boy... I really have no alternative. I absolutely cannot let myself be caught for all that is holy/unholy/whatever-the-hell-you-believe.
What I Do:

1) Your parents should be ASLEEP. Wait 'til their out cold... either snoring or 1 hour after they've retired and the bedroom TV goes off.

2) Only smoke on floors above your parents' room if you can. Same level is riskier, and basements are FORBIDDEN. Door closed. Locked. Window open. Cloth curtains as far removed from window as reasonable.

3) Turn on any fans that are reasonably quiet. Cieling fans rule, those big squarish ones (which I haven't seen in a decade) not so much. (too loud)

4) I lean out my window when I smoke... I'm in a suburban neighborhood, and my window is on the side of the house, so only 2 other homes are in plain view. This may be difficult if you live in an area with dense housing or with neighbors who stay up late all the time. If you can lean out a window DO IT... it'll save you 1573458 hassles when dealing with the smell. The nice thing about pot is the smell doesn't linger like tobacco... unless your room has a white cloud in it the stinks will be gone in the morning without chemical help.

5) I store my pot in a baggie, then I place that and my pipe in a freezer bag. I then place that bag in another freezer bag with a few dryer sheets. Completely smell-proof to humans, can be wadded up to the size of a baseball, and could appear inconspicuous at first view. Hide it in a spot that no one would bother looking. I hide mine in a box for computer parts. If your hiding spot is a place where a ziploc bag would not be suspicious, I can almost guarantee you it won't be discovered.

6) Keep Fabreeze handy 24/7. Spray everything that's cloth at the first hint of smell. Sometimes you won't notice it RIGHT after a session, it's usually the next day when I realize I need it. I have to do this just about anytime I use tobacco in this way.

7) I find cover noise (soft TV/music) to be distracting... mistaking news reports for people at my door and drum beats for feet on stairs. Just be silent, lights out. You're sleeping. In fact, open up your bedsheets. Smoke in your pajamas.

8) Have an emergecy protocol. If someone knocks at your door, you can be fumbling with plastic bags/glass or metal pipes/windows/squirting purfumes/what-have-you. Have a contigency hiding spot RIGHT NEXT to where you smoke. My guitar amp is right next to my window... it has a hollow back and I store my empty bags in it while I smoke, and I can toss everything back there if I hear a knock. Another nice thing about pretending to sleep is you have justification for ignoring the first few knocks.

9) If you do hear a knock, that's bad news. You did go through all this trouble to prevent this, ja? It's never happened to me, though if it did, on my way to the door I'd walk through a cloud of Fabreeze, and only open the door about a foot. Stand in the opening and field questions... the room will be dark, and hopefully (if they think you were sleeping) you will only have to field a few quick questions before they leave. If a neighbor comes outside, try not to be seen. Put out the bowl/j quickly and duck inside. Hope they didn't see you, or are cool if they did. Don't mention the scene to anyone. I wouldn't try smoking again for a while. Hope they forget. Time is your friend. (My neighbor saw me with a cig hanging out my window today, in fact! Oh, tobacco, of the evil leafs there is no equal!)

10) Minimize your need to clean up while stoned. I find worrying about junk everywhere ruins my high... I like to be chilling in front of my TV within one minute of smoking. Clean up and put all your weed away before lighting. Hide everything not immediately needed for smoking. I usually just drop everything back into the bags in my amp for the night, and move it back to my permanent hiding spot in the morning.

11) After I'm done, if I smoked a cig I stowe my butt in a nearby gutter temporarily (until I can flush it down the toilet) but if the only evidence is ash I just let it fall. If there's any reason ANYONE would be snooping around the parameter of your house... DON'T SMOKE OUT YOUR WINDOW! Don't do it out a window above mail boxes, meters, air conditioners, whatever... the people who work with these things make a living snitching out potheads.

----------------------

Damn, that came out long. I want to hear some other good ways to smoke at home.
That's how I do it at least. Sorry it came out like a book.

That's excellent information. I usually follow all of those, I like to break up a lot of weed before I smoke because usually after my first bowl I'm to lazy to break up another nug. But I used to live in the basement and my parents room is right above my room and I'd smoke. I just used a sploof and it worked fine. But yeah smoking in the basement is a very unwise thing to do. My parents were asleep so they wouldn't have noticed the smell anyways even if it did smell.

[PassThatShit]

dbw, that's a really funny comic and so true, most of my friends always say "we have to find somwhere secluded to park" i always say, "can you look in the window of a moving car and recognize the difference between a cigarette and a joint?" not that i role joints often, but still a piece can be easily stashed.

greyface, that's a ton of good information. i think it's really important for those who still live with parents (which i have reason to believe quite a few of you do, cough cough) that they remember, DON'T GET LAZY. i know it's fun and very very chill to just light a bowl while watching tv on your bed or your couch and not have to worry about it, but it's very very risky. don't think that just because you've never been caught before, doesn't mean that mom couldn't knock at 1am to tell you to turn the TV down ( that was my downfall) make sure you place your safety and not getting caught above getting stoned on your priority list, if you're sure it's not pretty damn safe, then don't do it, their are plenty of opportunities for you to smoke, if you think you can get caught then just wait a while till the 'rents are out.

as for me i have finally gotten to rip nugget since i got caught, i thought i would wait until summer, but eh fuck it. my girlfriend was sort of dissapointed that i couldnt make it longer than that (she's only an occasional toker) but whatever

Yeah, it sucks to have to be so strict with myself... but at the same time, I have a plan that can be followed quickly and smoothly, and takes a lot of the worry out of trying to hide my habits. I like doing this better than stumbling around in the woods or college parking lots where the PNS used to roam. Smokin' pot's all about speed, stealth and chillin!

Yeah, I think it's more fun challenging yourself with all these little tasks to keep your secret hidden. I had so many good hiding places when I lived with my parents. One was inside that front pocket of my sweatshirt. My sweatshirts were haning up on hangers and it just came to me one day. My parents even searched my room and never looked in the pocket. They key is, is to hide your stuff somewhere dumb and obvious, thus making it less obvious because your parents won't think of looking in a place so obvious lol.
