I compiled a list of helpful pointers. I tried to keep each short because most of us won't read it if it is too long Some of this stuff is common sense, overly paranoid, kick back, or just right, it all depends. Fit it to you.. STASHING/STORING: Garage is a good place to stash- clutters, not a lot of activity, more space for any minor smell to disapate, mom won't look there as long as your sneaky in getting/stashing your stash When storing shit where it can shake around/make noise in a small container, throw a towel/paper towels/cloth material to cushion them and keep them from moving or being noisy Stash in your electronics like computers, stereos, DVD/VCRs, PS2's etc.. Parents tend to avoid em. Try not to pick up too much bud at once, sure it is more expensive, but is easier to hide Store your shit seperately as to not look like a stoner's cover set up: Deodorant and body spray in a gym bag. Mints/gum pretty much wherever, but seperate is still better. Visine w/ your contacts or chapstick. Lighters by the insence or cigs Random Storage ideas: Tupawear, Altoids, camera cases, locked box, floor board, ceiling tile, spare key magnetic container, use velcro to hide tuff where gravity wouldn't otherwise let it be hid; walmarts got it for cheap SCENT/APPEARANCE/STEALTH/SMOKING: Scent is easily number one, obviously behind weed and pieces being left around but c'mon. There is a balance, not too much cover but enough Yes, your mom can smell that Wash your hands, arms, face, etc (little water on the face helps rid the stoned look) Don't use too strong of a scent Smoking in the house? Cover ALL vents n cracks Insense is down, but like most things, test the water to make sure your parents aren't getting suspicious. Obviously do these types of tests sober Stuff a moist cloth down your bong to cover up bong water smells No hugs in blazed clothes. Don't avoid hugs, just change your clothes Mouthwash One window is good, but 2 is better; air flow- use fans but keep em quiet or masked by music, movies, etc Take both batteries out of a flashlight, put the right amount of bud in to simulate one batteries size, and throw the other battery in on top, not that it won't smell. Hell, you probably should put something in there to seal it before droppin' the battery in (AXE, Old Spice, etc)Body wash before/after smoking is a good call. Body wash is not too strong but is a nice, even cover Hot water cleans better Watch where you blow your smoke, keep it off yourself and buddies who have to worry about it too Exhale thru a paper towel roll w/ dryer sheets- DOOB TUBE (can also be made with a water bottle with the bottom cut off). Some ppl even coat the inside with febreeze or something like that before inserting the dryer sheets Put on music or a movie to cover fans, lighter strikes, bubblin', etc... Make food like popcorn for smell cover and munchies Don't leave things like febreeze or dryer sheets laying around ha GENERAL IMPORTANT TIPS: Don't dress the part Only be confident if you have earned it, and even then, don't let your guard down Don't abuse what you have going for you Check the 99cent store for most of your supplies. Because whenever I spend money that is for weed but isn't weed itself, I just think, how much weed could I have gotten. Sometimes it is better to do shit like put eye drops in before you're high because you may forget/be too lazy when you are high Delete history from sites like this. They may be on your history for other reasons like porn haha and kill two birds with one stone Avoid at home, especially when parents are home Develop helpful habits like always shutting your door, depending; Don't only chew gum when your blazed, they'll know, etc... Be careful not to brush your teeth at odd times Don't get lazy with your tactics If going for a stroll, walk a dog if you got one, and share with it Don't push an empty stroller, that's kinda creepy. You could even wear jogging clothes. In the end, a random stroll by yourself can attract negative attention The more remote the better, ON FOOT! Your car in the middle of an empty parking lot.... thumbs down.. Other parked cars around where people have parked for the night is best, if you must. When smoking outside (ideal), go deep into a park or some local forest etc..Be healthily careful when reapproaching your car to make sure no one's rolled it Know your limits and circumstances Sudden drops in grades=bad. Always having bad grades raises suspisions as well For crusin' 'n smokin', tint in the back of your car where it is legal is chill to assist covering lighter flash from narcs and cops that maay be tailing. Any other tint or illegal shit is just a stupid reason to get pulled over=not good Brainstorm srategies and run them by/test them w/ buddies Be able to back up your excuses Some good deterrants to help your parents/whoever further believe that your perfect self is too good to be a pot head are getting good grades, succeeding at a job and elsewhere, being able to dress your damn self, higene, working out, being the right kind of social, etc Don't leave paraphenalia around Try not to make it so obvious that you have the munchies when you come home. I know, I know, your growing boys and girls haha For many, just be careful while blazing, prep yourself, then go out and enjoy your high Try not to give us stoners a bad name, just remember you represent us all. Sorry for typos, grammar, and disorganization. I am sure I left some things out, after all I am blitzed Yes it is popular for stoners to be like duuudeee, don't make this sooo complicated, just store your shit in a shoebox or something. Though that may work for some, for many of you guys and girls, that aint chill or at all worth it. It's arguable to have posted this, that it may inform certain parents seeking to find their kids stash. Well it is a bummer and there is really no winning. In my opinion, if your parents are online trying to find out how to catch you, they already know enough and are determined enough to catch you no matter what. We all move out sometime Also, it is not likely that they will just stumble upon threads and info like this online and just be like, "Huh, that does fit Jimmy's criteria." Choose what combo's from this list that work best for you. Everyone, as well as their circumstances, are different.Keep a good head on your shoulders, I mean we all did something right, we blaze
Sorry fellas, probably shady I did not introduce myself. I am in CA and love the site. I love gettin stoned and have for a long time now. I love forums and are on several others for different topics and then I thought, hey maybe there is one for bud haha sure enough. Then I came on here and saw a few threads similar to mine and decided to make my own. Enjoy it fellas, I am looking forward to becoming a part of the site fuh shoo
aha I didnt think of that at all. have been thinking up this list for a while and decided to post it up here after seeing similar ones. Ummmm well I am a stoner and uuuhhh that's it. Just tryin to give back online. quiz me or something ha
^ For many easier said than done. Vague is easy to write up, the details are nice to have. I typed up the list so that ppl can grab a thing or two from it to help out
Yeah about the storing bud part, having less around def matters for smell. I put a quarter of dank in a jar, then in one of my shoes, and it's been reaking my room up. my mom said twice today "your room smells really muggy....I hope you're not smoking in it" haha.
shit son. note taken. ive always been descrete but its hard to hide really. my mother likes to give me random hugs when im stoned. it makes me laugh but i dont care. if she knows shes not saying anything about it. On a side note i found out that almost everyone in my family is or was a stoner at one point. so i guess its to be expected lol. needless to say the family camping trip last month was a blast. my uncle has the bombest weed.
Got a kick out of the wearing jogging clothes. I mean honestly, who would think your smoking with your iPod in your ears, clothes that fit the part with shoes, and water thrown in your face and shirt. If anyone comes just fake a quick jog and it would be pretty easy to flash the blunt/joint away from whoever.
Me too! Well not my mother but everyone in general that doesn't smoke seem to want to hug me when I'm freshly stoned and still probably smell like weed. It makes me uncomfortable.
