The holidaze are here, and you’re back at you parents’ house, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to stuff your face with Thanksgiving turkey or whatever other festive meal without getting a little high first. Being sneaky with the smelliest herb on Earth takes some ingenuity—true stoner ingenuity at its best—to pull off, so check out some tips from the professionals. How careful you need to be will depend on what you’re up against, but it never hurts to be armed with as many tactics as possible.
Edibles Are Your Friends
It can’t go without mentioning that edibles are one of the stealthiest ways of getting stoned. Eat a loaded brownie or a few gummy bears before the festivities, but try to time it so you’re not stoned until people crack open their Christmas ales—that way, nobody will notice your red eyes. Of course, if you don’t have access to retail goodies of that caliber, don’t try and make them at your parents’ house. Check out this recipe for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, but make them where the oven isn’t about to have a turkey in it.
Use An Oil Vape Pen
If you’re not a fan of edibles and prefer to puff, use an oil vape pen. Hash oil vapor only really smellslike weed if you vape it in large quantities, like doing a dab. As long as you’re familiar with how sensitive your parents’ noses are to the smell of weed, you can just do it in a separate room, and nobody should notice.
Dabbing Works, Sort Of
Dabbing doesn’t smell quite as much as smoking weed and might work for certain people in certain situations. Simply blowing the vapor out of the window is enough to hide most of the smell, just make sure no one can see it billowing. You have to cover the sound of the torch and the bubbling water with some music or some other background noise. When hiding everything after you finish, keep in mind that the nail and the tip of the torch are still very hot. If you can make enough space for them in a drawer so they don’t touch anything, great. If you can’t store them without touching something, and you don’t want to wait for them to cool down, put them right outside on the windowsill. They should cool down about twice as fast if it’s cold out. Traveling with a rig and torch can be too bulky for some, but there are small rigs and small torches out there, if you really just want to do dabs. If you like to do really big dabs, read the section about smoking and follow those tips.
It also helps if you already smoke cigarettes because (a) having a cigarette after a joint intensifies the effects and (b) if you keep around a pack of some really weird foreign cigarettes, like Belomorkanal, you can always blame the smell on that.
Another thing not mentioned is the rather devious trick of using hops (humulus lupullus). If you grow a pot plant to about 20 cm high, you can graft a hops plant onto the marijuana root system, and although the plant will look exactly like hops, it will have significant THC content. Hops is used in beer making, but people will frequently make a tea out of it for its sedative effect. I haven’t tried this yet, but I’ve heard about if from credible sources who have.
Another thing the author left out was Ozium spray. It’s designed specifically to eliminate the odour of weed, and you can but a can of it at head shops.
The other, more rational alternative, is to simply smoke it outside. If there’s snow, you can build an igloo, then get all the people inside and seal the entrance and light up. The smoke gets completely recycled. One of my friends actually did this a few times and said it was great.
Then of course there’s the well-known technique of taking a regular cigarette and emptying out the tobacco and replacing it with your choice of smoking mixture, but that requires a lot of dexterity.
