got busted awhile ago, now every time i smoke i get really paranoid.

take the experience and learn from it.

 

Only smoke when you are completely sure you can't be caught

 

dude what's the problem? If you get paranoid then you shouldn't smoke that can lead to bad trips which can lead to mental problems(trust me I got em)

 

I don't smoke in vehicles I get all weirded out by the close nature of the environment. Take a walk through the woods and blaze something decent, I'm sure that will get rid of some of your woes.

 

Smoke in cooler places. I only smoke in my chill out room now, due to the fact that if I get arrested again I go to jail. My chill out room is the second floor of my garage, it only has one door to get in and out of it, and that door has 2 locks on it. I grow in this room thats why I take security seriously. However now that I started toking in here, I realize I can get as high as I want and not worry about anything ever.

 

Lock yourself in your bedroom with some herb and get as high as a kite man, just chill out and watch a movie by yourself and forget about everything that's going on. This helped me when i was getting paranoid a lot while smoking, sometimes being around people while high doesn't help. Good luck to you man let us know how you go

 

Happened to me after I got off probation for my second possession. It kinda just went away. I stopped carrying so much on me. Left it to like .5 or so so its easily stashable in a hurry. Unless Im going to pickup, thats all I have. Rarely do I bring a pipe on me. Usually if I have a pipe, its my chillum which is small and easily concealable. If I go for a walk or something I never bring anything. Where I live is a friendly pot neighborhood full of really old people with MMJ cards so if im sitting on my porch smoking, I have nothing to worry about. I live in an upperclass neighborhood to. I feel fortunate
Anyways, just lower the risk, and youll lower your paranoia.

 

The golden rule of breaking the law, is knowing the law. Learn your rights and youll feel a whole lot better.

My house is a condo, wedged between two others on either side. They can step outside and smell it right away, and my neighbors to my right can see directly in to my padio where I smoke (which is fenced, gated, and under my deck above me) if they just happen to take a walk to the end of their deck. Most tokers would advise you to never smoke in this scenario.

Am I worried? No.

Why? Because I use the process of elimination to determine smoking safety, and I always remember one simple term. REASONABLE DOUBT.

Just break down your elimination process in to three categories. Smell/Vision/Sound

SMELL: Dont ever worry about smell unless you are smoking on public property where someone can run up on you. If im smoking on my padio for no more then 5 minutes and I go inside, stash my pipe, and start chilling, im in the clear. Even if they sniff their way to my door, I can deny it all day. If they call the cops, same thing. Even if the cops do show up, it wont matter, ill hassle them about a warrant, and even if they do come in ill have everything hidden and ill have used eye drops, some febreeze, and body spray. Nobody has hard evidence beyond a simple stench that I was smoking. Plus, most people are far too lazy to investigate smells. Put out the cherry right away when you smoke to cut down on smell, and watch where the wind is blowing the smoke.

VISION: There are a lot of things to worry about with visibility, and this is how you are almost always going to get caught. On my padio, I make sure to face away from the neighbors who can see me. This way if they see me smoking, they at least wont see the pipe/weed, this way they still dont have any hard evidence. When smoking at night its almost irrelevant because how can they discern that in the dark? Again, reasonable doubt. When smoking at night make sure to use your lighter sparingly, and as quickly as you can. You would be surprised how much you can see a lighters flame. But as I said before, visibility is your worst enemy, if you eliminate this you are pretty much safe. Try to sit in a location that cuts off angles of visibility between you and anyone who could see you.

SOUND: This is a tricky one. People underestimate this as a danger to your smoking safety. When smoking in public places, or near neighbors, you really need to just shut up. That also means watch how big a hit you take, you dont want to cough up a lung. Also people are going to get suspicious of a lighter constantly being used, so again, try to be smart with it. Learn how to get the "one clicker" down. Thats when you use your nail by putting it in one of the lighter wheels little cuts, and you only make a tiny little click and you get it on the first try. I have this mastered and its great. Also dont use a water pipe, people will hear the bubbling. Dont talk about weed, or anything like that. Dont talk at all, or just have a non-bud related conversation. Sound also goes both ways, ALWAYS listen for noises that could be a door, car, person, and so on. Try to smoke when there might be a noise that drowns out your smoking noises.

To close. Once you are done smoking, keep nothing on you but eyedrops, gum, and possibly something to kill the smell on you like a small can of axe. Always try to smoke on your own property, its your stronghold, and you can easily defend your keep with the right knowledge and preparation. Out in public, youre a sitting duck.

Be aware of your surroundings as well. Im aware that my neighbor to my left who is living with their parents smokes, im assuming their parents are aware of this, and dont care, so Im not worried about that direction really. On the other side, Im aware that these neighbors are old, and probably dont know their mouths from their assholes. Im banking on their old age keeping me safe, and something tells me they wouldnt care either way. I have my 3 bases covered, and I have a story I can stick to as well as good stash spots.

So remember, reasonable doubt, and process of elimination. But safety should always come first. If I hear someone come out while im smoking, I book it inside.

Happy toking, and just chill bro.

 

Learn to let go of the past. If that's too difficult, start buying lower grade ganj and make edibles. If you go with edibles, you'll never be paranoid about smoking again. Hope you can help yourself.

 

Neighbor sees you enter car at 3AM.

Neighbor sees you not driving your car, just sitting in it.

A. Neighbor sees smoke come out the windows if they are open.

B. Neighbor sees smoke pour out after you get out if you boxed.

Neighbor calls cops.

 

this.

I cant stand when people I smoke with are just like, "nobody is going to give a fuck." Or "Dude, this isnt sketchy at all."

Especially in this type of scenario you posted lol.

I used to be the person who always brought the piece, and nobody seemed to grasp the idea that if we get caught, I lose my expensive piece forever.

I like to stick by the thought of, you never know who may be watching you.

I had a bunch of dudes who just randomly showed up during our sesh take my bubbler outside at my friends house, and start walking down the sidewalk toking like nobody was going to notice a 9" bubbler and smoke everywhere.

 

Damn dude that story on how you got caught -- I feel bad for you dude. That is just a matter of knowing what to say to the cops or just a bad luck situation. Lol having a cigarette after smoking is something I have done often and it is scary to think how the can sneak up onto ya
