i just moved back in with my parents. its very short term, because i have to be out of my apartment before i can be in my new one. but they're up, and they know i smoke, and i've even smoked with my dad before, but the topic is still slightly touchy, and i'd rather not smoke around them blatantly often. i went out tonight and got some good beer. i'm only on my second beer, and i've had beer for about two, three hours. i also have nearly an ounce of weed. but i really dont feel like i can smoke right now. but i just really dont WANT to drink much. i'd prefer it greatly if i could just smoke a couple bowls. which i will do shortly, but it would be nice if i could just sit on the couch and spark up. its nice to be at a point once again where i'd just rather get stoned and dont feel the urge to drink a lot, even if i'm not smoking. three months ago i'd be plastered and contemplating bed by now.
Why don't you just go outside and toke man? At least you have parents that are somewhat cool with you smoking. Mine aren't at all, so every night I have to wait for them to go to sleep, then be extremely careful with the whole smoking process, which puts a damper on my high. If I were you, I'd just slowly drink another beer or two, so you're buzzin pretty good, and by that time hopefully they will be asleep and you can burn one. You could be real careful, blow the smoke out a window, use a spoof or whatever, but I would recommend you just wait till they crash... cant be that much longer.
I always have to face the same thing when I visit my parents. I usually just go outside, but I understand that smoking outdoors isn't always a possibility. My parents live out in the middle of nowhere, so it is easy for me to get away with.
meh, its no big deal. i COULD smoke if i really wanted to, but i'd just rather not smoke around them unless they are smoking, too. not that i have any problem being high around them...but anyway, i can't just go outside cause they have the door open and all. i could go on a burn run, but i prefer not smoking while driving regardless, i'm pretty pleased that i'd just as soon get blazed as drink. ones super available now and i'm not too interested in it, the other is less available and its all i really want (a blunt, some tv, then bed) when i say i've had two beers it may be a little misleading. i've had two twelve ounce servings of beer, but one was normal strength (4-5% alcohol by volume...i think 5) but the other one was about double at 8.5%ABV, so really its like i had three beers already. but to me, three beers is barely a buzz, really. i probably will end up having another beer, but that would put me out of commision as soon as i smoke because i've worked really hard today...moving and shit. and all i have left is three more of the strong shit. my folks have some chianti, too...
ugh, its just i'm so unused to having to think twice about it. if i have it, i smoke when i want, in general. its so wiered living with my parents again, even just for a few days. and the worst part is, if i can't smoke a blunt or bowl or joint or something, it would be nice if i could at least have enough privacy to put on some porn or something....
Yea, see I can't really relate there because I've lived with my parents my whole life... However, I have been on vacation with my friend and his family, when we were free to burn whenever we wanted, and yeah, it totally sucked coming back home and not being able to. Did your parents change your room into a guestroom or somehting? Why cant you watch porn?
not a guestroom, a storage room. after we've all been in college, all the kids are currently back in the house. my sister goes out of state, and is home for the summer. next year she'll be studying abroad, and leaving most of her stuff here. my brother graduated and is looking into going for a masters program asap, but is currently also living at home. when you move out, you acquire far more possessions than you previously had out of necessity. appliances, utensils, electronics (tv, etc.) storage items (shelving, boxes), lamps, etc. imagine three kids moving out of their parents house, living their own lives with their own stuff, then all moving back into the same space. most of the items around the house that we once took for granted (save a washer and drier) we now have our own of. all these things, all crammed under one roof. as i'm the last one to move back in, my room was used to store TONS of stuff. as was the garage, the basement, the living room, etc. i'm only here for about 12-13 days, and all of us but my brother are going on vacation for seven of those days. it wont be too bad. but in my room, literally all i have access to use is a bed and about 8 square feet of storage space. for my stuff. the rest is full of everyone elses things. theres the computer, but any hour of the day with five people all on different schedules theres likely to be someone up, and someone wanting the computer. shutting and locking the door isnt really an option. hah, this is funny to think about, really. cant get stoned, can't watch porn, dont really want to drink, my dad is watching baseball so i can't watch tv.....oh well, i should count my blessings. i have a family caring enough to take care of each other when we need it, we all get along generally, and i'm warm and full of food.... but damnit i'd like to smoke some pot or jack off or something!
^ Was just about to suggest the bathroom. The only thing that sucks is you're limited to your imagination.... or a magazine if you've got one handy. Enjoy your night either way man. My parents have went to sleep about 15 mins ago, so I'm gonna kick back, relax and smoke some herb
bathrooms ok if you're desperate, but honestly theres just something too clinical about doing it in there. plus no mags, no tv, my laptops all boxed up...not that i dont have an imagination, but its easier to let your mind wander someplace other than a bathroom...haha... but anyway, had another beer and at least got two or three good hits off the bowl. its taking my dad fucking forever to go to bed. i think soon, though. he has work in the morning, i think.
fucking A! finally, he goes to bed, and i go smoke a little more. a few hits, held in as long as i can almost, figure if i want to do it on the sly i might as well smoke as little quantity as possible. so i'm a little high. come in....start surfin the web a bit.... and my sister, who was out with a friend, comes home and wants on the computer. now shes watching tv in the other room. luckily its not like i was doing anything...but goddamn. this is going to be a long 12 days. i might just go to the store tomorrow night and pick up a couple magazines....goddamn....and a high times while i'm at it.....
I feel your pains Nesta. I also am living with my folks presently. I purchased a new condo this past spring. The downside is that it is a NEW condo and thus i have to wait for construction to be completed. Obviously the upside is it is a brand new place. My folks know i smoke weed, they really don't care. However, my brother is ten years my junior and they don't like me smoking, talking about it, etc around him, especially since school isn't his strong suit like it was for me, so i limit when and wehre i smoke around the house and sometimes it can be damn painful. Fortunately, I don't have your other issues. My brother, sister and myself all have the privelages of private rooms and baths. All of my college gear is stashed in one of the basement store rooms taking up a formerly empty shelf. None the less, it blows spending the last semester of my undergraduate career living in my folks house.
I'm facing a move back home myself soon... Mom's know's I smoke but I still feel very uncomfortable puffin' in her home or around it. I'm looking at six months before I can move into my new house... not happy
nesta man, I know it must be hard to go back for a few weeks, but think about it. a good portion of the people on this forum are still required by law to live with their parents for years. I know I have 9 and a half months. and our parents are much less down with the herb than yours are.
Hey nesta, feel your pain about not being able to smoke.....least you got some.....all i got is a few leaves from my herm'd out outdoor plant.....tomorrow im making some QWISO tho, roughly 10oz of dried leaf to use.....should get a good few grams of some gooey goodness But till then....im stuck with beer....oh well the patience will pay off tomorrow night or saturday...
so i'm pretty sure you're talkin about making hash oil, but what is QWISO? i would assume ISO would mean isopropyl alcohol? what about the QW? i dunno. dont be too jealous. its nicer to have pot than to not, i suppose, but its still lousy weed. but, i do feel pretty nice and now sipping some wine. things have quieted down round here...smoked about half a bowl. might finish it, might just go to bed.
nice!!! yes the iso stands for isopropyl alcohol and the QW stand for quick wash.....you basically take all the dry leaf you have and crumble it up, then stick it in a container or baggie(s) and stick it in the freezer for quite awhile (i usually let em freeze for 6-12hrs). After its been in the freezer, you put all the leaf in a big sealable jar and pour the alcohol in on top of the leaf material. Put enough alcohol in to cover the leaf material by an inch or two. Then you seal the jar and shake the leaf/alcohol mixture around for around 1-2 min.....1 min will give you better quality, 2 min will give you more quantity but little less quality and a bit of a harsh taste. After shaking, un-seal the jar and filter the leaf from the alcohol using a strainer with a coffe filter in it. Note: for that last step make sure you have a glass baking dish or something similar to catch the liquid as you strain the leaf material out. It takes awhile to strain out all the liquid through the coffe filter but when you have all the liquid out, squeeze the remaining liquid out of the coffee filter into your baking dish. Now let the alcohol in the baking dish evaporate (use a fan pointed on the liquid to speed up the evaporation process). When it turns into a sludge/resin like substance scrape it up with a razor blade and voila.....you have some decent quality hash oil or QWISO wow that sounds way harder than it actually is lol
