Hey guys, I'm new here (newbie questions included)

Gotta agree that hotboxing in your bathroom is a bad idea. Stealth smoking and hot boxing go together like fire and ice. It's easy to blow a little smoke out the window or up into the bathroom fan if you have one. Concealing a bathroom full of smoke is a bit more difficult.

If your going to be storing your bud for a while I suggest putting it into an airtight jar. If you can get your hands on a vacuum sealer even better. I've had some vacuum sealed for over a year and its still smokes as good as the day I got it.

1. I've heard that it does, and I've heard that it doesn't. I know that I used to smoke in my bathroom and then take a shower to get rid of the smell all the time, and I would still get High.As.Fuck.

2. Is your bathroom in your room, or is it connected to the hallway? It can be a lot more useful to have a "buffer zone". I would put a towel under the door and turn on my bathroom fan and turn on the shower, and then toke myself silly, and hop into the shower and wash to get rid of the smell.

3. I'd say about a month or so.

4. It really differs with your area. Some headshops are quite a bit more paranoid about selling to minors. The main thing is that you have to act knowledgable. Don't go in there and ask for a bong, call it a "tobacco waterpipe". Bongs are illegal to sell, but "tobacco waterpipes" aren't.

I hope this helps.

thanks guys
