My anti-weed smelling routine!!!

So this I my very first post even though I have been a member since forever and read from the forums daily, so go easy on me it's my first time. I would like your opinion on how effective you think my "anti-weed smelling routine" is.

This I my story, I live with my mom and we have tenants in the basement and on the upper floor, my room is about 16 feet by 24 feet, I obviously have to hide the smell of my MJ.

So every time I hit my bong this is what I do,

1. place a towel at the bottom of my door and hang a thick comforter to cover the entire door.

2. I pack a one hitter in the bowl so I can make sure I am able to cleared the entire chamber.

3. Then I exhale through my "smoke buddy" which as I exhale I am pushing it into a pillow which is laying on top of my bed.

4. After I am finished doing that I turn the pillow upside down and place a comforter over the pillow.

5. Then i spray 3 sprays of ozium in my room, after that is done I light an incense candle for about a minute and as it is burning I wave it around to spread the smoke.

I know these steps sound like a lot but my life is unbearable, I am 21 i have Aspergers syndrome which gives me awful mood swings, I have anxiety to the point where I have no friends and no social life, I work two jobs and I am a full time college student on my days off. When I was diagnosed my parents didn't believe there was anything wrong with me and they still don't think there is anything wrong with me. I have a 3.6 GPA, no criminal record and pay out of my own pocket for school, with no help from my parents.

I ride minimum 5 mile per day and eat a strict vegan diet but still because of the way my mind is, I always have trouble with social situations. Marijuana even though illegal gives me the mental stability to have a more pleasant life, I am not using MJ to get high but instead to help with insomnia and with my anxiety and mood swing.

I want to thank you for reading and I look forward to your responses.

 

I'm sorry you have anxiety and mood swings. You sound like you really have it together otherwise. You do more to take care of yourself at 21 than alot of people ever do.

 

I generally cure myself of the weed smell by ..not smoking weed
Not saying I'm against it, but why not just wait until you're in a position where you don't have to worry about discipline for it..

And you are using it to get high.. getting high is what 'helps' you deal with your problems, and honestly you can deal with insomnia and and anxiety with benadryl, just saying

 

benadryl is far more likely to cause health issues when used to 'cure insomnia'

not only is that explicitly discouraged to do on the medication itself, it is generally not a good idea to use pharmaceutical drugs when you don't require them.


the whole routine to get rid of the smell seems overkill, but i don't know your living situation.

 

keep on smoking it up :sifone:

Since you're 21 and all you can smoke when you're not at the house too. Maybe find a cool isolated place to smoke after work or something. Or buy a vaporizer. They work well and are very discreet.

 

Agreed with Popularity. Smoke elsewhere, or buy a vape.

Can you smoke out an open window?

Ever considered edibles?

 

i wonder if eating cannabis would effect OP better than smoking. the two ROA produce different effects initially and temporarily, perhaps with a little less effort/anxiety about a smell too.

cookies could be a delicious alternative

 

I'd loose the incenseburning. Lots of people associate that with getting rid of weed anyway so it seems. Would certainly not go to this routine myself if I had to hide the smell, but after all I'm only in it to get h igh and chill. This would pretty much defeat the purpose for me.

 

yeah at least dial it down to a scented candle. best to just stick your head out a window and exhale.

 

What I do if I am somewhere I have to hide the smell like my moms house I go in the bathroom and either open a window or turn on the fan put a towel under the door and over the heater vent.....hopefully bring my can of anti-smoke spray or whatever that crap is smoke up.....wait a little spray that crap and then its usually all good. If not I can light a candle or an incense. Otherwise sometimes its less of a hassle to just go find a spot outside and I know of a few kinda cool ones.

But yeah I like to get stoned, but I also self medicate with cannabis, not sure where I would be without it as it is what calms me and basically makes me feel better in general. And I kinda fail at the social thing to but I havn't been 'diagnosed' with aspergers syndrome though my last therapist thought that would explain a lot...but that is about as far as I got.

 

I can totally understand not nessisarly having the ability to wait till they're in a position where they don't have to worry about disipline. I take it you're not someone who self medicates with marijuana...but lets just say when its the thing that helps sometimes you gotta do what you need to do. Though I personally would not mind being prescribed one of those fast acting anxiety pills for those times when the crap hits me and I am somewhere smoking is impossible.

As for benadryl I am quite familier with it..and I don't see how it would help much with insomnia and anxiety that crap just makes me feel weird and if anything more anxious I don't even like to take it for allergies....marijuana>benydryl any day.

 

So self medicating by smoking weed in your moms bathroom decreases your social issues?

 

When I was in your situation, I was always going out to my car to bake it out

a) I had a kick ass stereo
b) You will no longer need to be so sketched out while lighting up, which may lower some anxiety maybe
c) After its baked out, its fun to roll down the windows and watch all the smoke just pour out

honestly though, I think your mom would have more respect for you if you were straight up with her, and just left the house to go do it

 

I assume you mean me since i don't think the OP mentioned a bathroom. Well anyways, it is the bathroom in my room...and that is only one place I've smoked I really prefer chilling out at my friends house and smoking as I don't have to hide there as he likes to smoke to.

But its not so much about the social issues, I mean yes cannabis does make me more comfortable around people...but typically I am avoiding most people except the few I do trust and am close to I hate being stuck out in public too long but the cannabis certainly helps so I usually smoke in the morning if I know I have to deal with that. But the main thing is it helps me with anxiety and depression issues it decreases the symptoms so I can function a bit better and actually do what I need to do for the day.

 

Yeps, I ment you. Thanks for reacting, since I was a little ironic Mostly because it's a sure thing that if I smoke in the morning I get less social with random people I meet. Would certainly not call that self medicating myself.

 

Well it doesn't make me more social, just makes me feel more comfortable being out around people. But yeah that is not why I consider it self medicating. I consider it self medicating because of how it helps my depression, PTSD and anxiety. I mean even yesterday I had to smoke because I ended up feeling intensely anxious I had increased heart rate, difficulty breathing an overbearing feeling of impending doom and even had a hard time holding the pipe steady to hit it. It certainly did take the edge off and I am glad because it was about to turn into a full on panic attack. So yeah I do like getting high but when I smoke it certainly is not always about getting high, sometimes I need something to help and marijuana does the job.

 

Cool, I've seen it go both ways so always good to see another positive exception. I've got one mate that had poor social skills as it was but insists on feeling better by smoking his negative thoughts away. Now he's always nervous among strangers and stutters horribly even among friends (sober or not)

 

Yeah it certainly doesn't work for everyone or with everything. I mean its possible it might make him feel better in some ways but does nothing for the nervousness. But I can't really say as I hardly know what goes on in everyones mind.

 

I feel you on this. I am the same way. It helps sometimes put me in the right mind set so u can breathe easy and get things done without my PTSD and depression getting in the way. I think I also have stress induced atopic dermatitis and back pain and it helps calm my mind and nerves.

One downside is I become slow and forgetful so I can be much less social with strangers and less likely to be loud and open like one may be on say, alcohol.

To the OP I HIGHLY recommend getting the magic flight launch box. HIGHLY. I mean u can use this vape ANYWHERE!!! It's like $90 on Amazon.
Trust me it's a great investment. No smell, no anxiety no paranoia.
Good luck mate!

 

I can't neither of course but the stuttering and nervous signs are good indicators. He told me for instance he smokes up before he goes to see his family otherwise he feels like he gets too nervous when they criticize him. In real life it is so that everyone can see he has smoked somewhile before and he is only kidding himself, most likely getting criticized for the fact he appears to be stoned when visiting his family.
