So I was out smoking last night..

[Colin]

So I was out smoking weed with some friends last night and we hot boxed. I waited about two hours before going home and when I walked inside I passed my mom on my way to my room. So possible is it that she smelt the weed? I passed her in the garage and the garage smelled like gas so I'm not sure if re gas covered the smell or not. I'm paranoid as fuck right now because I woke up and my jacket smelled like weed. Someone please help../:

[Rutherford The Brave]

You hot boxed. So the smell stuck to you.

[Patchy]

You hot boxed meaning you reek of weed.

This is because the smoke is all around you rather than in one spot meaning everything your wearing gets covered in smoke.

[Colin]

Awww shit. FML. She probably smelled it then.. But I'm sure she would have said something by now. I came home last night at about 6:30 so it's not like I got home super late. An right now it's 10 in the morning and she is home and still hasn't said anything... So maybe the garage saved my ass, but who knows...

[Rutherford The Brave]

You should always smoke (that is if your concerned about smelling) Outside or in a well ventalated area. Weed, has this "Funk" which is more noticible if you smoke a blunt, regardless however, that funk is close to similar to ciggarette smoke. It just sticks to you, admittedly it smells alot better than ciggs. Also some weed is very skunky, if you were carrying some it might be easy to notice.

[Colin]

I wasn't carrying any and I smoked out of a vaporizer so it didn't smell too bad, but it still did smell. I'm just naturally paranoid as fuck. Ha.

[ShatteredWings]

Wash your clothes if it bothers you. I can't see why it would stay after a go through the washer (and soap, should be a given there :P)

Don't wanna get caught? Don't do it.

You do it, you live with the consequences.

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

Ide just wash your clothes and do it in a backgarden or sumthing ,,
because if your inside the smoke stays round longer sooo ... ;)
and gas is a strong smell so your probs safee ;)
besides if your like 17/18 yur mom probs doesnt see the point telling you off because your an adult and so she'll think you'll carry on do in it anyway xx

Your fine... Since the only evidence you had was smell and you walked past your mom she would of confronted you. My mom gets anal about smells she (like most moms) will just bring up a smell and ask about it. So if she didn't say anything then she has nothing on you and most likely didn't smell it. I use a vape a lot and it is not nearly as pungent nor does it smell the same most of the time. So you should be safe.

For future reference to avoid getting caught due to smell follow these...
1. Don't hotbox or just sit in the smell.
2. If you think it is going to smell wear layers, grab a sweatshirt that you don't let soak in the smell to throw on after smoking.
3. Deodorant is a really handy thing to carry around.
4. Smoke outdoors and blow the smoke away from you.
5. If you think you need it go air out, wether it be going on a walk or driving with the window down.

Whenever i go for a nightly smoke to help me sleep i can walk inside right after maybe change clothes and talk to my parents or eat dinner with them with no problems or questions asked. Also have clear eye just incase, lucky my eyes naturally don't get red ;)

[staying_alive]

She didn't smell you unless you were wearing a heavy jacket or something that would trap the smoke/smell. I never smell of weed when I hotbox, but maybe I'm an exception. As others (and you) have said, she would've said something by now if she did. Also, the gasoline smell definitely covered the weed smell.

Another thing to remember - if she's never smelled weed before, she has no idea what that smell is. Most people who haven't smoked don't even smell it.

EDIT: Socio (poster above me) has a couple tips that I live by: carry deodorant (I always keep spray in my car) and the eye drops. Also, ALWAYS drive with the windows down for a solid five minutes to air out the car after you hotbox. Even if it's cold, it doesn't phase you as much because of the high (I know from experience).

[ShatteredWings]

^^Better idea, don't drive while high.

[Daniel_]

If you drive while your high, your fucking disgusting. I don't even care.

Your putting yourself, and worst of all, others in harms way. If your dumb ass ends up killing someone, that will be on YOU. So just don't do it, it's so pitiful.

Actually almost everyone i drive with high can gandle it just fine. I have riden/driven with friends countless times and have never been in an accident. Being high is nothing like drinking, reality is notmorphed or anything and driving is not difficult. Some of my friends are even better drivers high. Now i'm not condoning driving highbecause like anything it has risks, but i am saying that weed does not weaken driving skills by enough to cause a lot of problems. Sure the risks can be higher, but not by a lot.

There's still that risk though mate.

I also think that it's completely irresponsible to drive whilst under the influence of anything that could affect your coordination, legal or not. When driving, you have the responsibility of your own life, the lives of the people inside your car and the lives of those around you. You need to have full levels of concentration whilst doing so as you have that trust from others to operate a vehicle which can easily take lives.

I think it's a poor excuse saying "the risks can be higher, but not by a lot." You're still augmenting that risk factor, there's no fucking excuse for it at all. Most people are shit drivers as it is, you don't need to add another factor which might make you fuck up.

If you don't condone it yourself, then why do you do it? Also, you said it "doesn't cause a lot of problems". It only has to cause one problem to have a car accident and end up hurting innocent people.

This couldn't be more wrong. I've never smoked a cigarette, nor weed and I can smell both of them from a mile off. The smell is stronger if you don't smoke.

[eatthis9999]

i would asume the smoke, 2nd hand smoke and pieces droping off end up particlising with the clothing like when you make a bonfire but the strength of the smell will make it stronger

Whoaaaa everybody. Let's take a step back here. First of all, let's remember that driving while drunk is much more (statistically) dangerous than driving while high. This is because of the difference in effects:

Alcohol, in simplest terms, affects your body and mind. You stumble, have bad coordination, and reaction time and pain threshold are at dangerous levels. You also have blurry vision, bad memory, and lack of inhibitions. Muscle memory does you very little good, so the lack of executive function really shows itself physically.

Marijuana, in simplest explanation, affects your mind. The most important thing to remember is that muscle memory is STILL VERY USABLE. All areas of your brain can be accessed freely (unlike under influence of alcohol). If you are a good driver in the first place – meaning you can drive inactively, or without using much thought – your muscles will take you home fine. The biggest issue with being high is that you can think you're very obviously slow, but you're not. Even though your brain my think everything is slowing down, your muscles are very much at the same normal pace.

Daniel, i'm sorry I fucking disgust you. I can guarantee you this: if you were a passenger in my car and I was stoned, you'd have no idea.

This couldn't be more wrong. I've never smoked a cigarette, nor weed and I can smell both of them from a mile off. The smell is stronger if you don't smoke.

I hope you know that they cannot be grouped in the same category. Cigarettes, with all of their wonderful chemicals, REEK. The smell gets in clothes, car upholstery, ANY upholstery; pretty much everything. Weed is a plant, just like wood. Think about burning a bonfire - it's not the same smell, but it's the same concept. The smell doesn't stick to everything like that of cigarettes. For the record, I used the wrong word choice when I said that a non-smoker couldn't smell them. I just meant that they most likely have no idea what weed smells like, which is true.

If anyone would like to respond to my post, please cite your experience with smoking to verify that you have anything to back yourself up. I'm tired of people attacking those of us who responsibly enjoy these activities just because they saw a drugfree.org commercial.

[ShatteredWings]

If it's effecting your mind, it's effecting how you view the road. Muscle memory has nothing to do with that.

[staying_alive]

If it's effecting your mind, it's effecting how you view the road. Muscle memory has nothing to do with that.

Yes, you are correct. I don't believe I said anything about it not affecting the mind or view of the road. However, I did say that muscle memory in large part makes up for it. It's the same as driving to school at 7:30am. As a teenager, your mind is still half asleep. And in my experience, sleepiness is much more dangerous than being high.

I'm sure you've driven high before, right? Or at the very least you've gotten high from smoking weed before?

No, as far as i'm concerned that's one of those things you DON'T need to try to know it's a bad idea
Like shoving a fork in an outlet.

"not as dangerous as alcohol" doesn't mean "a good/safe idea"

(Driving stoned, not getting high in general. I have very few opportunities thanks to my choice in how i handle school)

Yeah, except that shoving a fork in an outlet is instantaneous electrocution (and most likely instantaneous death) and smoking weed is...absolutely nothing like that. Your fork analogy applies to something like an Eight Ball (heroin and crack cocaine done at the same time).

For the record, I've cut a live power line before when I was wiring my basement theatre (as an 8th grader). Not much happened. The lights went out, there was a spark. I guess I'm destined to try everything once.

I don't want to make this argument about you versus me, but your comment about schooling has prompted that. I really hope you don't think a good student is not accepted as such if he/she smokes weed or likes to enjoy his/herself.

Your choices in schooling, if I read your post correctly, are probably similar to mine: straight A's, enough credits to start as a junior in college, and Ivy League plans. I also party on weekends (aka Saturday) when I'm not studying, whether that be smoking with friends or going to a drunken whorefest.

So please, don't bring schooling into this. Your opportunities are limited by your attitude, not your choice in schooling (trust me, I know).

[Weeping]

You should do what I do if you don't want to get caught: DON'T SMOKE! (:

Whoaaaa everybody. Let's take a step back here. First of all, let's remember that driving while drunk is much more (statistically) dangerous than driving while high.

So what? The risk is still there! And that risk means that you really shouldn't drive! Whatever if your fucking drunk or high, there is a risk of something to happend and your putting both yourself and others in danger!

I hate people who drive while high/drunk/whatever!

Not quite that far (i've resigned that I'll never get into an ivy league even with my gpa), but where i am, if you're smart and spent most/all of middle school being "that nerd", no one is even going to consider.
That doesn't mean I say pothead = bad student.
Depends on how you got there.
I got there in a manner that basically killed any social life

But yeah, OK. The fork was probably a little extreme. But somethings i see no need to try to know I don't want to take that risk.
(If you know about electronics, cutting wires is different than making a direct circuit using your body)

Now, this has gone off topic enough and if you'd like to continue debating me PM me.

That's really unfortunate. My school, as far as I can tell, puts so much academic pressure on students that they turn to drugs/alcohol on weekends to enjoy themselves. I'm not saying that everyone is a nerd, but the majority of us push ourselves pretty hard.

Side note: Don't rule out the Ivies yet! Their acceptance rates are very odd, and you never know whether you'll get in. As long as you have APs, good test scores, and a decent GPA, they'll consider you.

Thank you for debating me sir. It was a pleasure.

Better idea, don't get high at all. Its illegal and stupid, it can get you into nothing but trouble.

Trust me my friends smoked weed. They quit they said their body feels like 20x times better than when they were smoking.... Quit my friend. Kick it.

That doesn't happen to everyone, in fact it probably happens to next to no one. Anything that you do habitually like smoking, makes you feel worse when you take that thing out of the equation. Saying that stuff is stupid and illegal to do is a stupid means to get people to do stuff. Its stupid to speed, and its illegal but I bet you do it. Its stupid to loiter or however you spell it, but its illegal and you probably do too. It's illegal to park in front of a fire hydrant, and its stupid to do it. Yet people do it. I could go on, point is to say that something is stupid and illegal, is well stupid. Following rules, and shit. Makes life boring, plus no one is personally going to care who smokes weed. Its hard to police so many people doing something. If it were only a few people, weed wouldnt be a huge thing. But since so many people smoke it, and some people do it for religious and spiritual purposes. Its not even policed seriously unless its trafficed.

[makmak]

when you hotbox you will reek like weed for like hours . thats how i got caught in school. so if your worried about smell dont hotbox :p

This post is one of the best posts I've ever seen in this forum. Hopefully it will shut up the people who post in drugs & meds to rant about things being illegal and therefore stupid/bad decisions. Thank you.

Adding on to this post, what I would also like to know is what makes this ONE person - which is the president or leader of a country - able to tell US what we are and aren't allowed to do with our bodies? Sure there has to be the "alpha" of the pack, but the pack isn't supposed to consist of hundreds of millions to billions of people. I know I'm going to get a lot of shit from other people, but people really need to start opening their eyes and realizing that we're no different than a bunch of wild animals. The only person in the world that should be able to tell me what I can and can't do is myself. When you start to think about it, you can't call smoking pot a stupid thing when we have a person standing up in front of MILLIONS of people trying to convince them that they should let him boss them around for the next few years. It all seems very unnatural to me, and it makes no sense.

I agree with the point of your post. However, do you understand how our government works? If we lived in Cuba or N. Korea then you could use the "one person" argument. However, in America (and most industrialized nations) there are multiple bodies of government sharing the power. In the U.S. the president isn't even the "boss". He doesn't boss people around - his major power is the veto, which essentially limits the rules Congress tries to put on us.

You make every government a communist dictatorship, and fortunately that isn't the case at all. I think that laws should most definitely be in place, but I'm tired of people believing that they determine morals.

For christ's sake, 535 (or so) people in Washington D.C. have political interests in mind and they have the power. It's limited by other branches, but they primarily have the power, and they're more concerned with getting money to their state than writing a moral code for American citizens. If people want a moral code, they should go look at the Bill of Rights and other amendments. I don't see anything about citizens and drug usage in those.

I'm not trying to slam you or anything, cause your intentions are the same as mine. I just think you backed your point up poorly.

I would say don't sweat it as much it's sometimes better to be caught or just flat out tell your parents you smoke, I mean sure you might get punished but they will eventually realize they can't 100% control you and your actions.

[RisaLeigh16]

always take an extra pair of clothes if your going to do that. Trust me :)

I've seen this work for very few people. My parents would never accept it and that's that. I would never attempt to tell them because it would ruin any faith they had in my decision making (they don't have very much as it is). At least if i get caught I can tell them it was my first time doing it - i've been caught on a lot of "first times". Telling them its your first time if you get caught lessens the blow a lot.

They know they can't 100% control my actions. But that means I can go to a 10pm movie with friends, not that I can smoke pot when I want. They'll let me do almost anything that's legal, but once it gets illegal the hammer comes down. My rents are pretty big on "legal = right".
