I used to live on a smaller country island in Ontario, Canada. Nice place, but moved about 5 years ago or so to a larger city/town about 2 hours away off the island. Now I'm used to blazing in the city (well, large town). I know all the spots and how not to get caught. This week decided to take a trip back to the island with a friend. Staying from Sunday night to this morning. I'm leaving to go back home in about an hour. So we decide it would be a good idea while driving around exploring the island to smoke a couple bowls on the side of the road or some old back street (this place is usually completely void of people let alone cops, and it's only about 10 mins out of town). So we load up my backpack with some nug, lighters, Febreeze for my car after, and a smallish bong. Now we had some snow on Sunday night. Monday comes and we're driving around, and I accidentally drift and slide around a 90 degree corner. Slid right across the road and into the ditch on the other side. The ditch was fairly deep so I consider myself lucky we weren't hurt, didn't roll the car, and the car seemed okay, just stuck ALMOST sitting on the driver's side. So we climbed out the passenger side door and almost shit our pants (took about 5 whole seconds from the start of the slide till we stopped in the ditch). So we hadn't smoked any bowls yet. Good thing too, because 10 mins later, a cop car pulls up. Nobody called, they were just driving around. They took our statements and called a tow truck (cost $50 to get towed out of the ditch). I was driving and wasn't charged, just a victim of unfortunate circumstance. But the whooooooole time the cops are talking to us, the backpack full of weed and paraphinalia is in my back seat. If they smell or decided to search for any reason, we were right fucked. We're SOOO lucky they didn't search, and that we hadn't smoked any pot yet, so my car didn't smell like drugs and we weren't high. I'm sure if I was high I would have lost my shit when the cops pulled up, because I'm a nervous person as it is. Sorry for the long post, it's early and I'm baked. But moral of the story, drive careful on slippery roads, and even in the place where you LEAST expect cops, they'll ALWAYS show up when you don't want them to.
ehhh i was born near sudbury, cool beans. I think you were safe from the start, why would the cops want to search you because you were stuck?
Had one myself the other day, me and a mate had just finished rolling a joint, 2 other mates were rolling. We were sat on a fallen tree in this forest near an Asda (supermarket if you dont have Asda's in US). Anyway we were about to light up, and my other mates picking bud out the grinder into the joint they are rolling. Just heard him go "shit....SHIT!" Looked up and there were 2 police less than 10 meter from us. Had to leg it as one of my mates had just short of a Oz on him as he was selling, so would of been busted for dealing. Luckily they didn't chase us, just radioed for the van to look for us so we hid off the path further down. Was scary!
Honestly, who cares about the cops? its only weed.. plus were in Canada. our marijuana laws are unconstitutional.
Sometimes all it takes is a partially open window or door and the smell can waft over. If a cop catches even a hint of that smell they're going to investigate further. Where that leads depends on the composure and knowledge of the citizen and the integrity of the leo.
Me and 3 friends were hot boxing in my car in a neighborhood right after we picked up an oz and a cop pulled up while we were hot boxing. He pulled right by us and shined his big ass light right in my face. Scared the shit out of me. He came to the car, which probably reeked of weed, and asked what we were doing at 12:30 in the morning sitting in the car. I told him we were waiting for a friend to get back to us with directions to his house. My friend had jocked the weed and we had multiple pieces in the car too. I even had a little bit of weed just chilling on my lap. After talking to the cop for a few minutes, he asks for all of our ID's. Thankfully we were all 18 and had clean records so he finally came back and gave our ID's back and told us next time to wait under a light or an entrance to the neighborhood so neighbors don't call again. Either my story was too legit, or the cop just let us off the hook. I think he just gave us a break lol. Anyways, biggest buzzkill in my life!!!!
Either you've met a cop who never smelled weed before or he simply didn't care to investigate such a trivial matter. Awesome...
Haha, nope, this is in Ontario, Canada. Manitoulin Island to be precise. But yeah, we were literally not 5 mins away from hitting that pipe. The car would have smelled like weed, we probably would have been searched, and probably would have been found (just in a pill bottle in a backpack wrapped in a sweater). A little off topic, but a relative is the caretaker for the police station, and I happened to know the cop who stopped, but I don't think he recognized me. He was training a rookie on her first day. That would have been a nice first day story... "so we pulled up on a car in the ditch today, long story short they had lots of drugs." I wasn't too worried about getting searched, but it's still SCARY AS FUCK when cops are standing there talking to you like 2 feet away from a backpack full of pot and bongs and such...
Good shit. Anytime you avoid the cops like that its a good story. Did you smoke a fatty later that night in celebration? ha
I didn't bring any papers, I don't like joints. Especially when trying to be stealth indoors. Staying with my grandparents (who are STRONGLY against pot), but since it was a vacation, we were high like, almost the WHOLE time and hey never noticed once. Here's some tips that worked for us Ceiling fan - on blow. When there's less pressure in the room than outside, or if it's really windy, the smoke will be likely to come back in the window. Portable fan - like one of those oscillating ones except smaller. Pinched it in the window and turned it on. Sploof - Long paper towel roll stuffed with bounce sheets. USE THIS. It keeps almost 100% of your exhaled smoke smelling clean, but WARNING, it does NOT stop the bowl from smoking and burning after each hit. That brings me to my next tip... Put the bowl out after every hit. Like I said, I don't like joints (they waste) but they're unstealthy indoors. Outdoors perfect, they look like a cig, but indoors they STANK! We used a smaller bong and a small pipe. Never once got caught, never once were they suspicious. And we were pretty fucking high the whole time...
