My advice to beginner smokers on my 10 year anniversary

Would it be best to wait until you are absolutely sure the dogs are being called in to be honest? Or would refraining from admitting guilt, but then the dogs finding it be worse?

 

My stepdad is a cop, and he told me that no matter what I did wrong, the less you say then the greater your chances are of getting away free. Two weeks ago I got pulled over on my way back from the car dealership, the policeman just pulled up and first thing he said was, "What drugs are in the car?". Im being dead ass serious. I had been in that car for less than 20 minutes and hadn't had a CRUMB of weed in there. It was most likely stereotyped, because I'm black and have dreads and he waz a HUGE beer-gutted man that walked like a polio-ridden penguin.

 

Any advice for girls specifically that are new to smoking?

 

thank you

 

Advice about being sick is spot on

 

Good advice, one time i had just got off a t break and started smoking everyday again for a week and then i slowly developed a lingering cough with phlegm and next week i am at a 6 month checkup and i find out i had chronic bronchitis the entire time.... hahaha....chronic....

 

The first part is terrible advice, you should never confess to a crime.

 

i dont really got any questions atm but you know how people say like i wanna be like so and so when i grow up dude i wanna be like you 10 years from now a wise super stoner

 

Your a boss. Fuck cops, smoke bud.

 

This is horrible advise, especially if you don't live in a decriminalized state. Never incriminate yourself.

What defense are you talking about, sometimes you have to man up, if you got caught for possession its no one's fault but your own. You don't defend yourself to a cop, you defend yourself to the court.

There is no guarantee you will be caught but you will get a lot further knowing and respectfully exercising your rights. Once you incriminate yourself it's game over. Every time I have seen someone "come clean" they have ended up in cuffs. If you're in a state where it's just a fine, no big deal. If you're in a state where there might be a minimum of outpatient rehab, jail/bail, possible probation, fines and court fees you would be crazy for giving yourself up on the hope they will let you off.

 

This really goes for both sexes, but smoke for your own reasons and not for anyone else. I know many girls who have gone through a "stoner" phase and it's always so transparent that they're either trying to fit in with a certain scene, piss off daddy, or (perhaps most commonly) attract guys who want that fabled "hot stoner chick". Don't be the girl who posts facebook pics of her bongs in an attempt to carve out an image. People (especially guys) can see right through that shit and will probably try to take advantage of you for it. Just be yourself and have fun!

[quote name='"fatblunts9-5-4"']So this Sunday would be my 10th year of everyday smoking if I wasn't currently on my longest break since year 1. Why can't I smoke? Because, I got arrested. Why did I get arrested? That's something I will try to explain through my advice.

Cops. Know your rights and how to explain them respectfully. Know how to deal with cops. First of all if your getting pulled over and it's an amount you can eat you better tough up and eat that shit, good to always have water in the car. If you aren't caught red handed, your actions predict what the cop will think whether or not he's already made a stereotypical assumption. He cannot search you based on a stereotypical assumption legally and one of the best ways to guarantee he wont abuse his powers is to record him. Almost every cell phone today has a video or at the absolute least a voice recorder. Let the cop know hes being recorded. Make sure that he makes it clear why you are being detained.

To search you they must have a reason to have detained you in the first place. When asked about a search say WITH CONFIDENCE, but maintaining respect "My lawyer told me to never consent to any search or seizures without seeing a warrant" if they suspect something they will say " Well, we suspect you are in possession and were gonna be calling in the dogs." PAUSE: If you are holding under a felony amount it's time to start playing the honesty game. (if you have a felony amount your best bet is to be quiet and SAY NOTHING without a lawyer. The cops will act like your digging your own grave by not talking to them, but it couldn't be more untrue.)

Maintaining the same respect you have carried the whole conversation with say "I'm not going to make you waste time and resources. I have a lil bit of weed on me and I'll show or tell you where it is." Best case scenario: cop throws it out and says "thanks for being honest, don't let me catch you carrying again" worst case scenario you get booked for misdemeanor possession and 8/10 times the honesty factor will work in your advantage to just get a notice to appear in court as opposed to going to jail and having to wait to see a judge.

If police come to your door. SAME RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE. "Why are you here?" "Am I being detained?" if they ask to go inside "My lawyer told me to never consent to any search or seizure without seeing a warrant." It takes about 5-6 hours for them to secure a search warrant if you've been respectful and confident enough they will probably think that whatever you do have
inside will not be worth their time. If your a dick about it, they're gonna be dicks too. Even if they have you dead to rights with 20 pounds in the house keep your cool and act like they're wasting their time and that you wouldn't want them to waste their precious time

Keep the slick remarks and sarcasm to yourself...instead of saying "shouldn't you be catching murderers and rapists" say a current event, like a recent unsolved murder or robbery and ask if there has been any progress. If you say this in a respectful manner, it should be like a figurative punch in the stomach to him, if you say this in a disrespectful way they might punch you in the stomach. Know your 4th amendment rights.

Smoking while sick Weed might help with fever, body aches, and nausea but smoking while you have any type of respiratory ailment is HORRIBLE for your health. If you vape, make it a veryyy low temp vape session because even though the vapor isn't as bad for your lungs it can be harsh on your throat. If you can, just don't smoke until you feel better, which is a lot easier said then done, but if you have the discipline you are doing yourself a HUGE favor by not smoking while your sick. I imagine we have all heard the horror stories about collapsed lungs and punctured lungs. While I personally haven't experienced something that severe, I have witnessed it first hand.

Sketchy people/dealers if you don't feel right dealing with a certain situation. DON'T. Don't risk your well being and your money just cause you want to get high. Leave the fiend shit to the junkies, remember that any time spent not smoking will equal a better high whenever you do finally smoke. Don't front money out to anyone who you don't trust. With weed, you have a choice. It's not like your going to get sick or seizure from not smoking like you would get from other drugs. If we really want to separate ourselves from all other drug users we have to show that unlike other more addictive drug users we will not push our morals and principles aside just to get high.

There's a lot more...but if I had to choose 3 pieces of advice to give someone who recently started smoking every day it would be these 3.

So this sunday, SMOKE ONE FOR YOUR BOY, if not two. LOL. Happy smoking to all. Be safe, be healthy.[/quote]

you put yourself at risk by recording police. first of all, in some states, wiretapping statutes are still in force which prohibit any sort of recording without both parties consent. now, in theory you would win in court, since it seems like appeals courts agree that it's a first amendment right. but there's significant cost and you still get caught with the weed. even in states where it's legal (most), cops typically aren't aware and will arrest you for "obstructing justice" or something similar. once again, they will very likely have to drop the charges once the prosecutor realizes you were within your rights. but you still get arrested and searched, and the cop will find the weed and bust you for that. so recording police is NOT generally a good idea if you have stuff on you -- unless you can do so discreetly. also, cops totally can search you for fictional reasons: friend of mine (under 21) got searched once for "walking near empty beer cans".
