A Subtle High: Smoking Up Secretly

Not every parent is as forgiving of an expansive collection of marijuana paraphernalia as others. Despite its legal status in many states, the potent herb remains taboo in most modern households. 

As such, to indulge in a subtle smoke before your delectable holiday feast takes a little ingenuity, considering you’re up against a room full of relatives who can take a single whiff and know where your head is. Consider the following tactics if you’re keen on adding a little oomph to your festive family buffet. 

Tip 1 - Go the Edible Route 

True MJ enthusiasts will know the stealth advantages of a discreet container of edibles—anyway; you’re already preparing for a meal. Before the festivities, indulge in a brownie or handful of cannabis gummies—but time it well!

You don’t want your great aunt fussing over your red eyes or parents noticing anything suspicious about your behavior. Remember, edibles take anywhere between four to six hours to go full throttle—so get your guesstimation skills in full gear. 

Tip 2 - Skip the Heavy Duty Bong (For Now)

If you’re a fan of the pull you enjoy from a joint puff, consider smoking a vape pen. Hash oil vapor isn’t as powerful as the cloud you produce with a dab—unless you’re smoking it in large quantities. Smoke out the window of a comfort room or sneak a thirty-second drag behind the garden shed. 

If you’re smoking flower, one advantage you have over weed is that its vapor doesn’t linger as long as smoke—but it may still smell. 

Tip 3 - Try Dabbing

If your dependable vape pen is out of commission, opting for a dab tube will take a little more discretion. You’ll have to mask the sound of bubbles with background noise and ensure that you can pocket your torch while the tip remains hot. Pro tip: hold your dab rig out the windowsill to cool it quicker. 

Tip 4 - Smoke in the Shower 

If all else fails, you can depend on your handy joint—but you’ll need to be prepared. If your bathroom is equipped with a ceiling extractor fan, you’re in business. Run the water as you smoke, exhaling into the vent to minimize smoke. 

Instead of disposing of the ash directly into the toilet bowl, ball it up into a wad of toilet paper first. For extra measure, give your water closet a spritz of air freshener. 

Tip 5 - Smoke in the Bedroom

Authentic stoners will know the makeshift magic of a “sploof,” which involves stuffing a paper towel roll with dryer sheets and tissues. Exhale gently to mask the smell. Play it safe by exhaling through a small window fan. But keep in mind—bowls still burn! As much as possible, refrain from allowing the smoke to linger. 

Tip 6 - Play it Safe on the Air Freshener

While a spray of freshener is fine and dandy, you don’t want to overdo it. Nothing screams suspicious like a typically-dank room smelling of fresh flowers!
