[Discussion] Where do you hide your stash and things?

Living at home with my rents, and having my brother be caught once before, I've come to some pretty cool methods of hiding my stash. On the roof of my house underneath shingles, in the guest bathroom inside the toilet, and buried in the desert are some of my best methods of avoiding detection. What about you guys? Where do YOU keep your stash? And how much do you guys keep at any one time?

Be prepared for a really long description of my stash and my habits to stop me from being detected. Tell me if anything looks wrong or off about my setup, and I'll be sure to return the favor :)

I personally keep mine underneath my roof outside, where literally no one can find it. If I need some, I climb onto the roof when no one's home and get some, which obviously takes some pre planning. The garage for me just feels too stereotypical, and any place in my room or bathroom doesn't feel safe, as accessible as it is. Since I'm out in school for a lot of the day, with extracurricular activities and work, I prefer to keep it somewhere that no one would ever find, and prefer security over convenience.

I usually store small amounts. Right now I have 3gs, I could probably store a half ounce at the most. I smoke out of a vape pen, which makes ash, so I have a container for ash as well, which gets emptied in the desert along with any other waste products from smoking.

To hide the smell on my breath, I chew gum. I'm still researching which gum works best to stop the smell, but it looks like any gum works :)

Isopropyl Alcohol and qtips are what I use to clean my vape pen and accompanying supplies, and I keep a little bit of both in my case with everything else. I'm still looking for a smaller heat resistant case, since I live in a place which can get pretty hot, especially in the summer. But it's like that everywhere, so you know.

I keep a few supplies in my bathroom, too. My lighter and a few other tools I use are suspended upside down in the sink cabinets, held up by fasteners which stop them from falling and making a sound.

Bongs, vaporizers, pipes, spoon pipes, and other things are too big and sometimes too smelly to keep on me, so I found a really small vape pen which takes small amounts of weed and torches it. It also does dabs, and works really well :)

I don't like to drive with my stuff, and avoid it at all costs. I usually drive the speed limit anyway, if not at the rate of traffic, so my driving differs only in how I handle stop signs. (I will often not stop, and there aren't any shortcuts when dealing with cops) I personally am a fan of taping it underneath the front, but it can be tough when you're stopped by a cop and it's possibly within smelling distance. Storing things in the trunk is an option, but it's also visible in my car, so I'm considering keeping it taped underneath a seat. Speaking of cars, when you're with friends, always pick a designated driver unless you don't plan on driving for around 12 hours.

My smoke spot with mates is on private property, with my friend's dad who is perfectly fine with us smoking and hanging out there. Really swell guy, and he's always open to helping us out. We've stayed at his place a lot, and he's always been helpful. We usually leave him a beer or a cigar or something every visit, just for letting us use his place.

When I smoke, air always blows away from the house. It will stick to clothes, and to be safe I pull my head back a little bit so it doesn't get on my skin (which is easily overkill, but you can never be too sure.)

I usually don't smoke sativa, since it makes me want to move around more and I really can't when it's 2 in the morning. I prefer to use hybrids or Indica. Waxes are absolutely amazing, since they usually get out super quick and I don't have to smoke for nearly as long. When I use waxes or crumble, I usually take a bottle of water with meoutside, since I cough a lot on dabs. After I smoke, I put on eye drops ASAP, and have markers to distinguish between my Isopropyl Alcohol and my eye drops, which are also kept on very different places.

Since I'm clumsy and retarded when I'm high, I usually stay in my room for the night and watch Netflix, listen to music, or play games on my phone. My snacks are usually a bottle of water, If it's early enough, I'll go out for a walk in the morning, and maybe a hike if I'm feeling up to it.

I feel a little weird the day after I smoke, so I don't smoke in Sundays or any day of the week, except for Friday. Because I have volunteering at a clinic Saturday morning, I usually don't smoke, but my position at the clinic usually affords me the ability to smoke. Since I drive, though, I haven't done anything yet, but since the mornings are usually very slow I might be able to try. Since it's a Friday, though, traffic home from parties and bars and stuff is going to be high, so anyone who comes in on my street might see me. I'm considering doing dabs or things at 4 in the morning, when it's safer and quicker, along with there being no traffic.

Traffic on my road is something I want to look at. I might put a motion tracker or a camera for every day for 2 weeks and graph how often cars come down my road, so I know when I can and can't be toking on my roof. This is a ton of work to sort out, but with some time I think I cold hammer it all out and have meaningful data. Edit: online data shows that 77% of late night returns last 11pm are on Friday or Saturday night, so to be safe I'm only going to smoke later in the night on those days.

The lock on my door is broken, so I'm going to be fixing it when my parents aren't home. Since I'm fixing doors, I'm gang to get some wd-40 and lubricate my door and window hinges, so they don't make any noise while I'm going to smoke.

I don't usually browse the Internet while I'm high, since it gets a little hard for me.

My brother kept his stuff on a lager Pelican case inside his room, and got caught within a month and a couple of weeks of coming back from college. He also has to carry his case down with him every time he went out to smoke with his mates, which was a hilarious hassle.

My state isn't legalized, and is on the West Coast. Take a wild guess where I am. It has medical, but I can't get a med card for another year, and the stuff is still really expensive at the dispensary near me, so this might be a thing going on for a while.

I'll be in my house for the next two years before I head off to university, I feel like this setup is really good, but if there are any holes that people see on it, please tell me. I thought this through for a little while, and I feel like it's a really good setup for smoking in terms of safety. What do you think is good about my setup? What's bad?

This setup was the combination of a lot of time over summer, and it's working okay so far.

edit: I recently moved a few things around, and wd-40'd my door and window, fixed my door lock, (which had been broken for some time), and moved my stuff so it wasn't visible to anyone walking by (on a recent check to see if everthing in my stash was okay, I walked around my house perimeter and looked for ways that people could see my stash if thy looked up. As of right now, everything is concealed to everyone but me.) my first test run is going to be tomorrow, and after that I'll see if it's a good spot.

A lot of planning went into this, and there are a ton of failsafes in case I fuck up somewhere. Because I'm a klutz when I'm high and I don't want to fall off my roof at 3 in the morning, I'm looking for ways to safely navigate my roof. I'm looking at getting socks with silicone on the bottoms, but frankly anything with silicone bottoms that don't slide should work.

Because it's hot in the day, my stash is kept out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry pocket. It's in a pill bottle right now, but I've been meaning to put a black slip of paper on at least part of it so that it all stays out of as much light as possible.

I fixed my window screen recently to come in and out a little easier, and it's been working great so far. Very little noise now that changes have been made.

I need ways to filter out sound as much as possible. So far, I've been considering just not doing anything about it and just keeping my set up as is, since it's working so well so far. I make next to no noise when I smoke, outside of opening a window and taking out the screen.

One issue I have is where to put my screen after I take it out. So far, moving it inside so as not to draw the attention of possible drivers seems like the best idea.

For smell, I use a can of car freshener to deodorize the area every couple of days, and this hasn't caused any problems so far.

Ashes, I usually just dump onto the roof and blow away, since they scatter easily, are small, and don't really pose any danger. I'm considering getting a ashtray that I collect this stuff in af disposing of it safely later, since it's not particularly healthy for the environment if I dump my ashes wherever I want.

I use a piece of paper to help move weed to my vape. This paper is usually taped to the outside of my vape pen case, which also has my eye drops on it, and is only replaced on rips.

All trash from my ops is collected and disposed of in another trash can come collection day, in a different can every week.

Because my roof is dirty, I need to set up something to cover my feet with when I walk outside, and also need to vacuum the carpet directly in front of my window whenever it begins to look dusty.
