Smoking in Dorms?

Ok, I'm going to college soon, and I'm getting worried it won't be the freedom I've been hearing about. I'm getting a dorm room, but I fear I won't be able to smoke it out. I need fellow collegiate stoners to tell me the general rules of tokin' on campus.

Peace, Love, and Kind Nug

there was a thread about this recently...look back a few pages

 

My advice is don't. Just find a nice spot outside near the dorms, and smoke there. There are plenty of measures you can take, but if you do it a lot for long enough, you'll eventually get caught. Back when I lived in the dorms, I saw friends and others get kicked out for that shit. Just roll up joints and smoke them like cigarettes.

 

^People know the smell... especially on a college campus, so i'd be wary of that. If your roomate is cool with you smokin, lock the door, put a towel near the crack, point a fan out the window, and go for it.

 

^ yeah. that works for me and my roommate. just make sure you put a towel under the door and blow out the window. don't try to smoke joints or blunts though cause they smoke too much, but a pipe or bong is easy to manage. just get a bottle cap and cover the bowl up after you hit it and no smoke will get out into the room.

we've been smoking out our room for over a year now and we've never had anyone get suspicious or anything.

 

Which do you value more, your education or getting stoned?
If you get kicked out of college for puffin your chances of getting back into ANY college are slim.
If you seriously value pot more why not hold off on college, take a year or so long road trip and go try the herbs of the the country, hit tour, a coupla gatherings, shows,whateva.
Fuck, it's what I did, and I'm so freakin glad...

because now I DO value education more than herb (alot can change a person over the years) and if I'd gone to school back when I was 18 and high as a kite I would have fucked up my educational opportunities for life and I'd be hella depressed and pissed right about now.

 

Get an apartment... You would still have to take precautions but it wont be as risky.

I am going to college in the fall of next year, and I am just going to get an apartment with some buddies near the college.

Some colleges have some reaaaaaaaaaaaal strict rules about the dorms, like no incense or scented candles, or no posters. Unless you gotta scholarship and the dorms are free... I would just get an apartment with like 3 friends and split the costs.

 

^^^Agreed

I also agree with taking a year off, sounds a bit late for that though

But anyway, that's what I plan on doing...saving up money until my senior year is over and taking a semester or 2 off to travel the US/Canada a bit with maybe a friend, or even on my own meeting people along the way...I dunno, seems like it could be really interesting and open me up a bit.

 

damn, are you guys serious. I would think hardly anyone would care at collage. When I went to trades school, everyone in the class smoked pot, except for my one friend. Hell, thats when I first started smoking pot, lol. A few guys in the class would go some a joint almost every night and on a few ocassions the instructor even came out and smoked up with us .

 

It TOTALY depends on the college, I only know a few MN colleges, but for the most part UMD(Duluth) Is known to be the least strict in our state, and I know alotta people that go there, that just leave there bongs sitting out on there desk, while St. Cloud State, has been known to kick you out of your dorm for the remainder of the semester, but after you get busted once, they'll check your room on a regular basis.

Just keep everything in your closet in some type of lockable device, and ya use a spoof, a fan, open the window, and you will be fine if you just smoke reasonably.

If you have 5 people, doing nothing but smoking and watching tv for 6 hours, someone will most likely notice and smell.

 

i went to U. of S. Dakota my freshman year and I smoked all the time in my dorm room... but I was lucky because my RA was fucking awesome and didn't give a shit... then he was fired because, uh.. he didn't give a shit.. so then I didn't even have an RA and by then I knew most of the people on my floor and none of them gave a shit either! so my dorm room became a safe spot... I suppose I was lucky though. My advice to you: check everything out, get to know your neighbors and RA, be aware, don't be stupid. If you decide to try it, get a fan and point it so it's blowing out the window, put a towel under your door, and have the fabreeze ready. if you want to be extra safe, build a filtering device for the smoke you blow out (i.e. toilet paper tube with paper-towels/dryer sheets works well).

 

They sent the kids off to jail when they got busted at my old schools dorms. They only busted a couple token kids a year to scare the rest....but who wants to be one of the unlucky ones?

 

dont. my brothers roomate smoked in their room once....almost got him AND my brother(who doesnt smoke but doesnt mind) kicked out of college. they both had to go through a big ass trial thing and got stuck with alcohol and drug classes.

 

i thought college refers to the place you go after you finnish school, where you get a degree and stuff? how can you be going there if you are 16?
im confused, i always thought college was the american term for 'university', since in movies its always depicted as the place people go to when they finnish school (and do their SAT or whatever) and want to get higher education?

assuming that what i thought was correct, and that the threadstarter is just finnishing school very early, then i still dont really understand how college works over there. is it like the college is surrounded by big walls with turrets? or there are guards walking around chekcing places? there are no windows in the dorm rooms? no lock on the door?

im about to finnish highschool (yr 12.. most people finnish it as 17 or 18 yr olds) and ive been spending time in the universities around sydney. they look like the perfect places to toke up at. young adults everywehre, heaps of nooks and parks and trees and well theres entrances and exits everywhere and outside of the uni are a multitude of parks and whatnot to relax and do wahtever.

i mean.. your an adult when you leave school. i cant believe that in america, its still like being at school?

 

you're right, it is university. and no, it's not like being in high school at all. if you're careful, the room is safe to smoke in. if not, like bill said, there's plenty of other places to go without getting hassled. you just gotta make sure you're not reckless about it. with a few proper precautions you'll be safe, just use common sense. most people around here only get caught cause they weren't careful to hide it.

 

Unfortunately it's a bitch and a half to get into school or get federal financial aid with a drug conviction. They're quite happy to let any other kind of petty criminal into college....just not the drug ones.
Dont ask me...I didn't make the rules, it's just how they are.

 

ive started getting really really excited lately about going to uni.. get a job enough to pay for drugs and internet connection and the like... live on campus.. smoke weed with peers from any walk of life to discuss our subjects and play music... do research.. run little political campaigns for SRC and the like... and party every goddamn weekend!!!

 

Get a vaporizor. It still makes some kind of smoke, but its not the same as real smoke, and dissipates pretty fast. Otherwise, just spend a day or two walking around near your dorm and scope out good places to smoke.

 

just two more years ...

 

Sounds like a full schedule.
