How To Hide Being High
We’ve all had to hide our high for some reason or another and, listen, we don’t judge. While we can’t guarantee you’ll fly under the radar after a fat bowl pack to the face, but what we can do is share tips and tricks for keeping your cool. Just keep calm, it’s simpler than it seems.
What to do
Get some air.
This step works two ways. Step outside and take a deep breath. This is the best way to keep your anxiety at bay, but it also works wonders for airing out your clothes and hair, eliminating the smell of fresh smoke.
Open your eyes.
If you’ve got eye drops laying around, it doesn’t hurt to put a small drop in each eye to clear up any redness. If not, don’t panic. Smoking is notorious for making your eyes low, so make sure you aren’t squinting. Don’t be scared to make eye contact with others- they can’t see through you!
Keep your cool: No one’s onto you!
A funny feeling we all universally share is the fear that everyone knows what you’ve been doing. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. If you take the steps above, you can walk confidently into any room and hardly anyone will notice what’s up.
What NOT to do
Bathe in perfume.
The quickest way to blow your cover is to douse yourself in perfume or cologne to try and drown out the smell. Herb smoke seems to linger less long than cigarette smoke, so you probably don’t smell anyway. Ask a sober friend to give you a smell check if possible.
Hide in the kitchen.
If you’re in a social setting and don’t want anyone to know you’ve smoked, the worst thing you can do is dive into a plate of nachos and stuff your face in the corner. Munchies are a dead giveaway.
Overthink.
Just be yourself! You’ll give yourself up by acting strange. We promise no one is over-analyzing the way you’re standing, or questioning the way you’re holding that water bottle. Before you smoked, you wouldn’t be concerned with the way you’re moving or talking. Don’t be fooled into overthinking your every move.
Above all, hold your head up and enjoy your high. Life’s too short to care what others think, anyway.
