smoke with your window halfway down, don't get on some super "you're letting all the smoke out" stoner bullshit.
have a pack of rolling tobacco and papers (of the same brand) handy. 3 bucks ain't much. also, pre-roll a few to light up if you DO get pulled over.
fresh pack of strong ass air fresheners in the glove box.
weed in your hi-tops.
back roads.
finally, if you wear contacts, your eyes are red because they're a bit dry.
all of these things saved my ass.
funny to login and see this post at the top of the page, i actually got pulled over last night.
my smoke while driving scenario is pretty much identical sans contacts.
1 mile into to the hour long post skatepark sesh drive home I get pulled over for driving with one headlight and out of state plates (another long story - got hit a few weeks back and the asshole that backed into me wont return my calls or emails).
It's cold as fuck and the windows are completely fogged over, and the cop asks me to get out of the car. asks me what the sprinkle of shake was on the lap of my hoodie.
i told him it was rolling tobacco and he wasnt buying it.
says the dogs are on the way because he smelt weed, so I came clean.
I had just bought an eighth before the drive, and a freshly rolled fatty for once we got on the highway. told him where it was.
Rin TinTin came, ripped apart the car and didnt find anything else.
Being Massachusetts and all, the worst case scenario was a $100 civil ticket for under and ounce, and some safety tickets for the headlights.
Finally dudeman assured me that him and the other cops werent going to smoke the weed, and that is was going to be used for training rin tin.
Then let me go completely scott free.
only thing I'm down on is $50 of weed.
lesson learned.
