Since there’s been no progress in the fight for legalization of marijuana in my state, I have to break the law. The effects of marijuana work well for me, but it’s too bad that I’m considered a criminal for smoking it in my car.
Sometimes the day just calls for you to smoke weed in your car. For me, it’s those long drives that really gives me the craving. I guess I’m just bored. I understand that this activity is extremely illegal, however I never was good at letting the little things keep me from doing what I want to do.
I use a technique that makes me feel safe and allows me to enjoy my smoke in peace. It’s super simple. ONLY smoke joints in the car. Never use a bowl, bong, or one-hitter. The reason for this is in the event that you get stopped by the cops, you can discretely dispose of the joint. Disposing of a bowl can be a dangerous and difficult thing to do. And even if you smoked all of the weed in the bowl a cop can still charge you with possession of narcotics paraphernalia, or even possession of a controlled substance. Nobody but the state wins in that situation.
Picture this: you are driving down the highway and smoking the one and only joint you decided to bring on your trip. All of a sudden you see a cop parked in the median clocking speeders. He got you. As you pass, you see that he has pulled out and it appears that he will soon be hot on your tail. Get rid of the joint now! You could dispose of it in two ways: 1.) toss it out the window. If you choose to do this, you better be sure that the cop is far enough behind you that he can’t see it fly out the window. The evening is the best time to toss out the window, but make sure to put the joint out first as you don’t want the cop to see the red-hot amber flying through the air. 2.) You can simply eat the joint. Be sure to have a can of coke, or something else to wash it down. This is the easiest way, but you have to make sure that the cop is far enough back to not see you do it. If he does see you, he will consider your actions to be furtive movements which gives him probably cause to search you and the vehicle. If you have a bowl in this situation, then you’re screwed. Ticket City.
Tips to smoking weed in your car:
- Only carry ONE joint in the car
- NEVER smoke from a bowl, or any other marijuana pipes
- Getting stopped by police: toss EXTINGUISHED joint out the window if cop is FAR enough BEHIND
- Carry a drink in case you have to SWALLOW it
