Still Sneaking Tokes

Late 40's long time toker. First tried herb at 17 and have fluctuated between being an occasional and a daily user ever since. Have been growing my own off and on since I was 21. It’s been med-legal for over a decade here and rec-legal since 2018 here.

But, it was full-on prohibition when I first tried it and a felony if you got caught when I started growing. So, years and years of toking and growing totally on the down low. Hell, I've been a member here for more than 10 years but was too paranoid to post pictures until fairly recently.

To this day, I still find myself sneaking around to use cannabis and feel vaguely like I'm doing something wrong. Dumb crap is just ingrained now, like firing up in secret behind my shed (or inside the shed if the nosy neighbor is lurking) before mowing the lawn, sneaking off like kids to burn one with my brother when visiting his family, or eating a brownie on the down low before going to a party. Very interesting vibe to have an edible kick in hard when hanging with a bunch of sports parents…

I drink openly but use cannabis mainly in secret. I can't shake the paranoid worry about non-down neighbors, friends, my parents, etc. "knowing" what I'm doing.

Alot of people I work with and socialize with still talk about it like it's not legal and somehow shameful, so I'm still in the shadows at bit. Not sure I'll ever grow out of this, too much water under the bridge.

Any other long-time users still sneaking around too?

I live in glorious isolation. I boldly toke where no man has toked before. Outdoors. Naked.

Yeah it’s not legal here and yeah most of my neighbours are not about it. They leave me alone I thinks it something to do with my quick wit or my wife’s size 6, blonde hair and blue eyes, also incense doesn’t hurt.

Pretending to be a sundial is always entertaining.

I live in a state that is still somewhat in the dark ages. We have medical but the scope is pretty narrow. No cultivation. You can't smoke it. Have to vape it. I got my card a year ago and have been to 2 different dispensaries 4 times total now. It wasn't until the last visit that I felt comfortable. And didn't feel like the police were going to pop out of a bush.
 
Well, my 13-year-old walked up to me this morning I and said “you’re growing marijuana in the back yard, my brother told me.”
We had a short conversation about it for pain management and then about grandma with RA. Then we talked about about cannabis being a better option than blackout drinking for my older brother.

He said 2 of his friends parents grow. Both those parents are millenials. I’m being arrogant but I suspect I grow better bud, but also suspect most of us on RIU think that. :)

Just wait until after harvest.

The kids will let you know who is growing fire.

Yeah, I grew in basements. Kids were never allowed downstairs. Smell was covered by a large homebuilt carbon filter. The wife and I only used pot in the grow room (it was comfortable). Spent a lot of time perfecting a no smell one hitter solution.
We would drink anywhere lol.

Used to grow in the basement too and kids were not allowed in the grow either. I thought it was secret but the older one made an offhand comment recently about the bright lights and plants that used to be in the locked room downstairs. It had been 7 or 8 years since that grow had been shut down.
None of that was visible from outside the room, so I suspect he got in there and had a good look around.
 
My best was doing one hits at the back of a Delta flight Chicago to San Fran. No one smelled a thing, or if they did, didn't care.

Mine would have had to meander about dark corners with lots of boxes, and then been able to find the 12' 3/4" pipe i ran through both door frames just to enter. They're very smart, I wouldn't put it past them lol
 
Parents and brother in town for Thanksgiving. Visit has been…eventful. Had to sneak out by myself to burn a pinner for sanity tonight while getting grill going for dinner. Got my brother outside too and let him roast a nice bowl of this year’s sour diesel outdoor bud topped with a scoop of grinder kief. Both of us were high at dinner, my brother was SUPER BAKED and trying not to giggle the whole time. :eyesmoke:
Feel Iike a rockstar little brother but a vaguely shitty son/husband/parent. No one else at dinner knew. Fun times. Thinking we may have to sneak off for bong hits tomorrow sometime.bongsmiliebongsmilie
