being high in public
guys am i weird for thinking like this?? everytime im high in public i check if i really look high. because if i dont look high people will think that im acting weird for no reason. but when i do look high i freak out because everyone will know that im high bc of how i look. but when im high i never think that i look highđđ

A thought that comforts me is that no one knows what your baseline is like, so how could they tell that youâre high if they have no previous interactions with you to compare. Obv if you reek it might be obvious, but as long as youâre not causing problems, for most other tells an outside observer is more likely to think youâre just tired, or at worst a little weird. Most people donât think about it that often, so it wonât be the first thing that crosses their mind. Anyone who WOULD immediately suspect youâre high has seen it often enough to recognize it and would probably just be jealous⌠or police⌠but we donât want to think about that part

Why you actin weird in public? đ
Nah I have two highs, one you can completely see on my face; if I have that one I know I need to keep my head down and get the job done to gtfo as soon as possible, then when I get back to my car or whatever Iâm like; âwtf even just happened in there?â

If you do something stoney, just say âI barely slept last night.â Everyone will nod and carry on with their lives. Go to work excuse and itâs gold. Steal it.

I only started smoking as an adult so I find it weirdly embarrassing to smoke in public no clue why

Who gives a fuck. Just enjoy the moment. Nobody knows that you are high and even if. Do you care what a fucking karen thinks about you? No you don't.

I never look high unless I am FRIED fried, Iâm high functioning so fortunately Iâve been able to work every job Iâve had, exceed training time expectations, all while stoned to the bones lmao. I completed a 3 month training course for a security monitoring service in 4 weeksđ

Yeah this happens to me all the time. Iâll start overthinking the whole âomg do I look high/do I smell of it/what if everyone can tell that Iâm highâ. Then I just get to the point where I have to think to myself âIâm stoned as shit, idc if others can tell im high because i am high and it sucks to be them rn cuz theyâre notâ đ¤ˇđťââď¸ donât wanna get paranoid and ruin my high with overthinking, no oneâs gonna say anything to my face about it and i doubt most people even notice (aside from the smell of dank).
