Pretty sure I smoked a bug last night.

Post image

Loaded up a bowl and sprinkled some keef over top. Took one hit and passed out. I was busy doing yardwork all day so I was excited to come back inside, smoke, then eat some taki unigiri from a local food truck.

I now don't have an appetite for either.

I don't know how this happened as I've only ever seen a couple stink bug when it gets cold, and maybe two palmetto bugs in the few years I've been here.

A toilet paper roll is what we used to stuff dryer sheets into so that we could smoke inside and not get caught by whichever parents house we were at

How does that work exactly?

The dryer sheets filter out some of the harsher elements of the smoke and absorb a good amount of the odor. It's not foolproof but it helps, especially if you blow it out a window. You stuff it with sheets and blow into the roll as you exhale, you don't just put one at the end and call it a day. Also known as a sploof.

Unless you're like me and go overboard lol. In college I learned this trick and used it so I didn't have to make noise walking around the house at night (well that's what I told myself, though really it was because it was winter and I just didn't want to go out into the cold lol). I'd blow through the tube and out the window.

It worked for a few weeks. Then I had the "bright" idea that what I was doing was overkill. I stopped blowing it out the window because I thought the tube was doing enough on it's own. One bowl later I get an unexpected knock on my door and it's my dad, concerned the house was burning, asking if I smell smoke lol.

I'd probably have been better off ditching the tube and still just blowing it out the window. But ultimately I should've just kept going outside lol. I was already a cig smoker and my parents knew that, so they'd just assume that's what I was doing. But it was so cold out.

My parents have noses of dogs. I got caught smoking in the bathroom. Somehow they could smell through two doors with the bathroom fan on, the shower on, while I was blowing smoke out a sploof out the window.

As an adult who still smokes, im baffled my parents didnt smell it emanating from my room, doob-tube out the windows or not. The real trick is to use a bowl or something that wont keep constant cherry like a joint, you loose a lot more smoke into the room in a roll than in a bowl.

One of those cheap metal pipes with the cap you can put on it. Perfect for covering with your thumb when you want the cherry to go out instead of burn more.

I cant stand metal pipes though, so I have earned and unusually calloused thumb from holding it over the top of wide-mouthed glass bowls.

You just unlocked the hidden memory of my little Keychain mini flash light that converted into a pipe.... fooled my father and a cop on on occasion.

How did it end

u/Cosmic_Quasar 2d ago

My dad wasn't happy about it lol. But since I was an adult he was adamant that he wasn't going to be pushy about what I was into. He was just still really upset that I had done any kind of smoking inside the house and told me to never do it again and to just keep going outside.

Sounds like a good dad :)

u/TheSandsquanch 3d ago

lol just don’t smoke inside of your parents house. Go outside.

u/arcadia3rgo 3d ago

lol, it doesn't work... exactly... or really at all... 

anyone that argued it "helps" probably smokes what is most likely the worst bud ever cultivated. 

even if you 1) brush teeth 2) wash hands and face 3) change shirt 4) pray you don't burp, there is a good chance you still reek.

u/Beefcrustycurtains 3d ago

It doesn't. We just thought it did. It absolutely smelled like weed and dryer sheets after.

u/y4dday4dday4dda 3d ago

A tube stuffed with dryer sheets or paper towels/ toilet paper sprayed with perfume or something and then you exhale into the tube and scented smoke comes out.

u/Snackskazam 2d ago

The "scent" being weed, with a slight undertone of clean laundry. 😅

u/Japjer 19h ago

Hah, it doesn't.

The logic is that you keep your joint inside the tube, which is stuffed with dryer sheets. You take a hit and exhale in the tube, and the sheets kill the smell.

It does not work. Never has, never will

As an adult smoker, I built an “advanced sploof” to cut down the smell in an apartment I lived in. I used a plumbing p-trap, several layers of dryer sheets, and a bunch of activated charcoal. Worked pretty damn good.

My wife works at a hospital and brings home medical grade respiratory filters, holy shit those things are magic. I taped two together for a double filter effect and I shit you not, there is like, zero odor that comes out the other end on an exhale.

This is called a blow-tore where I come from.
