Instead, I told her I would call. She waited for me to make the call, like right in front of her, but I just kept stalling like, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Okay. Thanks for reporting it."

She left. I waited like ten minutes and then called, cause I felt kinda obligated to do so. I figured if they hadn't finished up by then, they deserved whatever they got for being stupid enough to sit in the middle of a mall parking lot in broad daylight smoking.

Soooo just wanna say a busy parking lot isn't necessarily the best thing either. Not a bad choice but I'd seek privacy if it were me.

were they like out in the open, or in a car?

probably out in the open. i can't think of anyone nosy enough (except the 'Peace Police' that someone mentioned earlier) that would report someone doing something in their own car.

i mean unless they're taking huge bongrips in a convertable lol

Shit like that pisses me off. Yea it was stupid of them to be out in a parking lot smoking, but still that bitch should have kept to her self. Mind your own business jeeze. It would be different if they were blowing the smoke in her face or doing donuts in the parking lot after words.

word, i wonder if it would've been appropriate to just say "ma'am, nobody who works here saw them, so i'm afriad we can't call anyone"

i mean, it'd be honest.

Yeah, I felt torn about calling. I wouldn't do it again, I'll say that. I felt like shit for being a hypocrite. My principles come first, before my obligations as an employee, and I kinda sold out on that one.

Anyway I thought it was stupid they were smoking in the open.

I'm pretty sure they weren't in a car. But then again you never know about some of the uptight weirdo suburban moms that shop at my mall.

the other night my friends and I were at a pizza place my buddy Ken decides hes going to smoke in the bathroom so i watch him from outside come out of the bathroom and walks right past the bar and i see this guy on a bar stool turn around and give the most surprised look on his face towards ken. omg it was great spreading the sensi smell of peace:hippy:

Haha, I've walked down a main street in midday smoking out of my pipe with two friends and people just kept driving by and walking. No one said anything because we looked like we knew what we were doing.

Toked in two different clubs before the smoking ban, kinda sketchy, had some guy notice but they weren't in charge or anything and didn't care, just laughed about it. My mate got caught smokin a j in a club by a bouncer but blagged his way out of it by just saying "have a drag it's a cigarette", and holding it up to him and he bought it :thumbsup:

Smoked at numerous concerts, one particularly stupid idea was when me and my friends smoked in the food queue for Tenacious D, most obvious place, indoor with a few hundred people around and we are usually kinda paranoid about it but no one said anything...so I suppose it wasn't THAT stupid in retrospect.

Smoked in cars lotsa times, probably pure luck and my friends careful driving that hasn't got us busted.

Smoked at my school before too but that was after hours when it was dark so wasn't really public....

I suppose you gotta just act relaxed like people said and if the vibe is bad...get outta there :rastasmoke:

Word I like to take a cig and empty out most of the tobacco and replace it with herb. I put a little tobacco in last so it looks perfectly normal. During my lunch break I'll just smoke it like a regular cigarette. Nobody would notice the smell because I don't blow cigarette smoke in people's faces.

But yeah like you said everyone's in their own little bubble anyway; also you can chew some gum and use visine to clear away any symptoms of blazing.

Does worrying about getting caught mess up your high? It does for me every time, responsibility kicks in and I start cleaning things up or just sitting and worrying about getting caught and what would happen if I got caught. Of course, the more I blaze, the less I often the worrying comes back to me (every 15 minutes). I really wish there will be a point in my life where I can blaze worry-free.

i like to smoke when i walk my dog in my neighborhood or at the park...i dont look very suspicious with a dogg..:pimp:

hmmm i never thought of that!! dogs are really inconspicuous... but on the other hand, dogs draw attention that ppl regularly don't. then again, even if the dog is drawing attention, ppl are usually looking @ the dog and not the owner.

Unless they're trying to see if owners and their dogs really look alike :upsidedow

At home, or out in the country where no one gives a shit.

just a few days ago i was on this bike and running trail behind my house taking solar hits when these two middle aged walking couple walked right by me. i got the strangest look because i had this fancy sherlock pipe and a magnifying glass held in the air burning it.

as far as being sneaky i always keep ozium in my car when i smoke. it takes care of the smell right away.

When I toke and drive I only use joints. That and I don't smoke enough to get blazed. Then I just finish it off when I'm at my destination because I usualy start not too long before I arrive. As far as getting pulled over when I'm smoking, how could they prove that you are high unless you are ripped out of your mind? I wear contacts so my eyes are almost always red and just cause it smells like weed doesn't mean they can do anything about it. Just as long as you don't have anything on you. Then really, what can they do?

My friends get really 'noid about smoking in public. One of my buddies will duck down as far as he can to toke the joint so no one can see what he is doing in the car. This just makes it obvious to me. I just smoke it like it's a cig and I don't think anyone would ever be the wiser.

I've also smoked at a concert before in the parking lot right next to my vehicle. I just made sure I was aware of my surroundings and as long as no one was near, I always had time to just swallow the joint down and have nothing to worry about if an officer did show up. My friend on the other hand got pretty paranoid. The more of us that just start to smoke and be chill about it, the more common it will become. Then in the end, it will be accepted. Just be chill. :jointsmile:

Yeah i pretty much walk down the street smoking a joint and no one really notices they all think its a cig.

And i love smoking in my truck becuase its raised and no one can really see inside!

I got a story for yall, i used to live in a small fishing village in newfoundland canada, we smokin up on the tracks. (old train tracks) we see 4 cops roll up on atvs. they lookin at us, laughs, and walks up to us. he goes " i see we have some felons here" "give me that blunt" i was sittin there high as shit, like iight well its over. college, jobs, the love of my parents, thats it its done with, my life is ruind. if i wasnt so brave to be lookin str8 at the cop i would have missd it, he takes a massive drag on the blunt hands it back and is like. HEHE, Your welcome. i was like :O WTF MAN!! start triping out, i run home and lie in my bed for a hour, come down after my friends still on the big rock, cops are gone, so we smoke agian..

I've smoked joints and bowls right in front of my work...I work at an outlet (an outside mall)...the people pass by but don't really say shit usually...once I got a few responses though when I was smoking a joint, one was: "That's a great cigarette, huh?" and another guy when I was smoking a bowl saying: "Holy Shit!" and laughed while he was passing me.

But I got my reccommendation.... I'm all good lol

I get super paranoid smoking in public. Which makes the buzz that much more sativa! But lately it's not that much of a big deal. Instead of getting caught, I'm more wary of the idiots who'll come up to you and practically shout, yo hook me up dude! :wtf:

I agree, whenever my friends want to smoke I always tell them to just smoke on the street but they're always too scared to do it. So we end having to walk a whole lot just to go to someone's house or something just to smoke a blunt.

Me, I just smoke in the street, in front of my school, or anywhere. Even if someone sees you, either you'll be done smoking by the time they call the cops or what usually happens is they just don't care.

I smoke at home only and a concert or 2

:thumbsup:

I smoke in public all the time actually. In California no one cares, but since leaving California I have found that its similar in most places. Its all a matter of how you go about it.

We hollow out Black and Milds and fill them up with weed. :thumbsup:

lmao i do the same shit always in busy parkin lots , windows rolled up nd tinted , turn on the ac , and im good

most people in my town are under strict government orders to execute cannabis law offenders on sight so i have to be careful

if you are in san francisco you don't even have to be discreet. i used to always see people rolling up fat blunts at the McDonalds on Haight and Stanyan at the entrance to golden gate park. the only thing i'd worry about is people trying to steal your ganja.

but yeah you could probably get away with hitting a compliated-ass bong on the street in san francisco and nobody would glance twice at you . Oh how i miss that city sometimes.

Hey people really do not like this guy he has 2 Red Dots LOL

Smoke everywhere Stupid... LOL:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

it's a really bad idea usually, especially on a friday , saturday, 4th of july, major holidays where people usually drink and drive. the smell of weed will linger in your car for several days and the police usually have no qualms about ruining your night when they stop you and everybody else at the DUI checkpoint.

Damn! Im happy to see this thread gets revived every once in a while.

It's ironic that I started it, because it's been over a month since I've smoked annyyything. I took a month off around March, and for some reason that seemed to drag, but this one I barely noticed.

I relocated to a bigger city (right after i graduated college finally, as a proud pothead) and i landed a job as a Personal Trainer (totally not what i went to school for, but hey), so I'm just waitin for that inevitable drug test.

But I probably won't strike up a toke for a while, especially since i'm now coaching others how to have healthier bodies.

Somewhere down the line though, maybe I'll take six months off or something. Or a year. Damn, that'd be an achievment.

And what a fukucking high that would be after a year, eh? ;)

Just don't have any on you when you drive. If you do, have it in Joint form. Easily disposed if needed, and even easier to hide in a spot they will never find it. It's all about being smart about how you do it and never admit to anything. As soon as you do, they can start crackin down on you and possibly searching. Also, be polite. If you get an attitude in some way, they will either get the feeling there is something you want to hide or will just get irritated and give you a hard time.

They can't do anything just cause you're vehicle smells like weed. They can just make you think that they can do something about it. Which will probably be a search, which is why you really don't want any on you if you had smoked in your vehicle recently.

ill blow blunts whenever/wherever i feel like....if they dont like it ill blow some smoke in their face

The parks in my city are scenic, plus there's trails because it's Colorado. So I just walk to my favorite spots and pack a bowl or two. :thumbsup:

My neighborhood is really stuck-up suburban; but the park is so chill.
