just act normal: smoking in public

[vej33]

i am the very last person who wants to get caught and busted with weed... but part of the thrill of smoking, for me, is doing something im definitely not supposed to do.

that being said, i love to find ways to smoke right in public.

and i've found that it's almost easier to smoke in public than to smoke in hiding. when you're hiding, you're conspicuous, suspicious, bound to be cornered.

but in public, you're surrounded by people who instinctively have their own comfort-bubble (you know ppl these days, they like to act like nobody else exists). places like public parking lots are perfect, especially in cold weather because you can keep your car running and it won't look weird. just someone warming up their car.

my best friend back home and i always used to park directly in the middle of a big-chain grocery parking lot. now at college, one of the places i go to is this Municipal parking right across from a popular strip - has the coffee house, the movie theatre, movie rental, everthing...

parking in that parking lot, as long as nobody is in any of the cars surrounding you, is perfect-because there's all night parking (i used to hav to park there when i lived in an apartment building across the street) so it's literally almost always active, but not active enough to cause paranoia.

if a cop ever rolled by my parked car with the engine running, especially now in the winter, assuming there's no visible way to see me, it just gets passed off. hundreds of things cause people to hunker down in parking lots - a busted tire, bad battery, etc...

then there's the magic of "cell phone arguments". sitting in any parking lot, talking "aggressively" on your phone is just one of many ways to "trick" people into thinking you have an actual reason for sitting there. especially with driving cell-phone laws in my state these days, you're almost FORCED to sit in your car and chat. Having a phone up to your ear and appearing to be in a full-throttle conversation can make the difference between someone glancing at you, and someone wondering why you're sitting idly in a parking lot...

I DUNNO! :hippy:

ya sometimes i give up on being secritive, like my freinds and I will just smoke on a busy street in broad daylight, or just walk in a park with people around. No one is really going to call the cops, and if you smoke a joint or a blunt and they arent close enough to smell it they wont even notice.

I love living in B.C. Me and my friends walk down the street in any city, mixed in with the general public, passing and puffing a joint between us. Nobody cares, not even the cops.

I almost have faith in your belief that it is less of a risk smoking in the public. If someone even thinks your standing out in the middle of this busy area smoking weed, they will most likely instinctively kill that reaction because they'd assume you weren't that stupid. I do it a lot with this small metal pipe I got and this dug out. But I mean only if its necessary.

[vej33]

yea sometimes it is necessary... not only do i live in a dorm room, but i'm an RA (Resident Assistant) which means I'm the one who's supposed to catch OTHERS smoking in their room lol

iv never busted anyone tho, b/c as a faithful stoner-boy, I've smoked in all 5 dorm rooms I've ever lived in - Including this one! (but that was low key hehe)

When i'm not going to my boyfriends, or to another friends house, or if I'm smoking with another dorm-liver, I'll prefer parking somewhere to driving. I mean I've done countless burn cruises, but the paranoia of getting caught sometimes is just too much...

Those "bad feelings" you get before a burn cruise should never be ignored lol, i follow those feelings to a PARKING spot every time :rasta:

its useful info, but i sort of realized this before, i just am more comfortable when i have no chance of seeing people that are just out, ill smoke right infront of someone in a building, but if they are in the same area as me ill freak out, its just that i feel that there is a reason why they would be so close, but i will eventually start doing this when it becomes warm enough to spend any time outside

Smoking in your car is just plain stupid.

Smoking in your car is just plain stupid.

Yea it definitel can lead to undesireable consequences, but for the stoner on the go, it really is just a given.

I hav a 4 hour drive home from school, so there are times I'll back a bowl and just nurse it for the whole ride. Don't need to become couchlocked (cuz im not moving from my carseat anyway lol).

But yea, none of this was at all in an attempt to try and glorfiy driving and smoking, it's not only a good way to get caught by PoPo, but it can be dangerous. However, it happens.

I know how that is. I no longer have a car so i have to hoof it all over. I will often listen to my ipod, roll a blunt or joint, and then walk through the neighborhood before I walk to class. People do drive by and come out of their houses but no one is going to do anything because it just looks like i am smoking a cigarette. By the time that they would call the cops, I would be at class and the joint would be long gone. Its almost more relaxing than when I had a car because I know im not going to get"pulled over" if I have my weed and music and I'm getting somewhere, then I'm happy!
