I was out for a snow shoe a couple weeks ago on a trail that doesn't see much use. I almost never see anyone while out on it. So about 45 minutes in my Spidey senses start tingly, I could smell it, but couldn't see where it was coming from. I was out with my completely white Husky/lab mix and as we started a round a bend in the trail she b-lined it for some bushes. I hear 'Shit, shit, ditch it man ditch it!' I get around the corner and see two of the most shit scared teenagers I've ever seen. I nearly pissed myself laughing. These guys were probably 16-18 and they'd obviously made a huge effort to get away from civilization and the potential of being caught. I kept a straight face and could tell these two were absolutely shit-baked. They were trying to act normal while standing 15 feet off a rarely used trail in the middle of the fucking woods. The look of shear terror and fear I saw was priceless. Finally I couldn't keep the straight face and just died laughing. They looked at each other and back at me as I said 'Carry on boys, carry on. Hope you didn't ruin a fatty on my account'

With that one of them bends down picks up the joint they'd tossed in the snow and tries to dry it off a little then looks up at me offers me some by extending it towards me without saying a word. I gave a head nod, pulled out one of my own, sparked it and just kept on walking. I'd love to hear the story from their side of things.

I think if you tried hard enough, you could fap to that. Just imagine the teenagers as naked females.

[–]firefox3d 5 points6 points ago

You live like you're in a movie. I like your style.

We are the actors and the world is the stage. Make your movie cool.

[–]SoggyFrenchFry 10 points11 points ago

Was just hiking the other day in glorious weather. Came to a vista with a nice overlook. Saw three 20 something year olds who, upon noticing my friend and me, became very quiet. I had already gotten the scent and knew what they were doing. We sat down and when we did I heard one of them mutter some dissapoinment. I cracked open a dank beer from my backpack to which I heard a mutter of relief from the same lad. I turned around and with a smile just said "smells pretty good man". They laughed a bigger sigh of relief and offered me some. I politely declined but only on account of having a drug test coming up soon. We chatted a little and all parted seperate ways.

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 6 points7 points ago

"dank beer" really threw me off. At first I thought you meant beer was the name of some bud or something and when I realized you just meant a beer I thought "dank beer" sounds kind of gross actually haha. I can't put my finger on why, but that just doesn't sound like a good descriptor for beer to me.

[–]SoggyFrenchFry 2 points3 points ago

Understandably. Dank, for me at least, has just become a term my friends and I associate with high end. Just as dank bud means really good weed, dank beer means really good beer. Like Magic Hat or Sierra Nevada or Rogue or something else heavy with lots of taste. Anyways, terminology is always dependent on your surroundings and area but that's all I meant.

[–]itsgarrison 0 points1 point ago

i always thought dank beer usually consisted of some cheap malt liquor like steel reserve or st. ides... different terms i guess...

[–]CodenameDeadpool 0 points1 point ago

Sidenote; I love your username. I did the same because I'm soon to graduate college(Oct.) and need as little internet dirt on me as possible. Nice.

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 1 point2 points ago

haha thanks man. You know I think this is actually the first time someone has commented on my name, despite having been around for awhile. I really didn't want to leave my old account because I actually had a ton of comment karma from a few 1500+ karma comments, but alas, I was in a hurry to create that account when I did and being my creative-less self used my full name in the username. I'm sure if anyone that knew me dug in to my profile a little more they could realize it's me but at least with this account they won't instantly know if they see my name.

[–]WhatWeAllWantToSay 1 point2 points ago

thats cute, like young cubs offering up to their elders.

[–]KickingAround 0 points1 point ago

just the fact that you were "out for a snow shoe" makes you the greatest person ever

[–]MaryAnne987 11 points12 points ago

How often do you really find people smoking in public? I'd be too scared!

[–]benderunit9000 4 points5 points ago

Every day over the last 2 weeks I've seen people smoking in public. Usually when I'm on my way home from school. Best way to travel.

[–]Not_A_Slave 3 points4 points ago

I smoke in public everyday. I got rolled in my dorm so now I just take walks through the neighborhoods around my university until I finish.

[–]ProbablyGeneralizing 2 points3 points ago

There's some people in my apartment complex that smoke on their 1st floor patio on a daily basis. Not just that, but it's typically in the middle of the day. I usually acknowledge them when I see them toking

[–]MaryAnne987 1 point2 points ago

That's awesome that neighbors and law enforcement don't make a big stink about it. Is this in the US? If so, what state?

[–]ProbablyGeneralizing 2 points3 points ago

It's in the US, but it's in an apartment complex that's almost exclusively leased out by college students. The neighbors probably don't care a whole lot, but it's a gated complex so it's not like cops are around too much. If they did I have no doubt they would be arrested. Most people would probably just think they're smoking a cig or something.

[–]Doddzi 45 points46 points ago

Why can the most overused gif on the internet still make it #1 of trees?

[–]wipeout4wh 58 points59 points ago

Because it has a funny caption.

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 9 points10 points ago

I actually didn't mind this post. Yes, it was of an overused meme and isn't too funny on its own, but the conversation is starts is really why I like /r/trees. A LOT of the posts that make it to the front page are decent at best but they get uptoked because of the awesome conversations we have.

[–]I_DONT_RAPE_ANIMALS[S] 2 points3 points ago

I know it's reposted lots but I just passed some guys on a back road well they were passing a joint around the back seat of a car, well my friEnts and I were doing the same. We gave a little head nod of approval and continued to drive. It reminded me of this gif so I decided to post it, in hopes to spark up conversation about similar situations, which it did. Although I understand the hate.

[–]Gitarham 10 points11 points ago

It's all about the caption.

[–]llewbop 1 point2 points ago

/r/trees should be renamed to /r/reposts

edit: nevermind apparently that place already exists

[–]theicecapsaremelting 0 points1 point ago

If you catch an ent smoking in public they aren't doing it right :o

[–]g00sefeathers 29 points30 points ago

Naw, if they're doing it right, they can only be caught by another ent

[–]methomania -1 points0 points ago

Yea showing support is good, aka wearing a ENT t-shirt or something, but you shouldn't obviously smoke out in public since it still is illegal.

[–]Juniperus_virginiana 9 points10 points ago

since it still is illegal

lol

On that drug called 'fuckit'

[–]punkmasta[!] 6 points7 points ago

Does ent refer only to redditor tree lovers? If so, I think he made a joke because redditors don't go in public? What do I know

[–]dutrox 5 points6 points ago

They do not give a fuck OR shit.

[–]raging_asshole 2 points3 points ago

Chyeah.

I walk 4 miles to work and 4 miles home every day, through downtown Orange County, CA, so it's a decently urban area. Every now and then I like to take some of the lesser used back streets and smoke a joint on the way home. As long as you act like it's a cigarette, most people never even look twice. Every now and then, someone will look over and sniff and smile, but it's never been an issue.

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 4 points5 points ago

Doesn't matter

[–]Teahes 2 points3 points ago

I have different levels of likeablilty contrasting with my levels of soberness. All very high.

[–]BCBUDDHA 17 points18 points ago

Vancouver B.C reporting in, I smoke weed on restaurant/bar smoking decks. I'd also think somebody is lame for trying to high-five me for it.

[–]bobloblaw11 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, it's just a joint, holy shit leave me alone.

[–]leetdood 7 points8 points ago

I get it, but at the same time... it's illegal, and sometimes you want to embrace your fellow law breaking brother in celebration of your communal agreement that it isn't a bad thing like everybody else makes it out to be.

But yeah, a high-five? A little weird.

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 4 points5 points ago

I honestly don't laugh out loud at posts often, but I giggled like a little girl when I realized we'd sounds like weed. I'm like what the hell is he "heh"ing about, is the apostrophe funny or something?

[–]BCBUDDHA 1 point2 points ago

I mean any kind of acknowledgment, I understand that some people are in areas which are stricter so there is more of a brotherhood or whatever.

But in any major city almost every cool person in their 20's and 30's smokes weed to some degree

[–]tehconx0r 15 points16 points ago

Or they're Canadian.

[–]ninzo09 4 points5 points ago

Totally, I can take stealth tokes walking in downtown ottawa

[–]tehconx0r 4 points5 points ago

Just wait till April 20th, friend. You won't have to stealth those tokes!

[–]ninzo09 5 points6 points ago

True that! This year's gonna be my first on the hill

[–]IceCreamBender 2 points3 points ago

Downtown Ottawa... I was there recently. I shared a joint at the dog park near Jack Purcell Community Center. I must have stood for quite a while watching 20 or so dogs and their owners play and interact. I'd recommend it.

[–]ninzo09 0 points1 point ago

Nice! sounds like quite the experience. There's a ton of parks in Ottawa, Strathcona is a nice one downtown.

[–]IceCreamBender 1 point2 points ago

As a Canadian I make it my duty to take a walk around town with my joint. Sometimes to smoke on the move, sometimes go to a park. I think it's important to be mindful that you're not smoking where children might notice, but otherwise I'd like to do my little part in normalizing it.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Goldreaver 0 points1 point ago

Argentina-located ent here. Same thing happened to me-which is kind of impressive, consdering the police force around here is full of corrupt douchebags. I guess this is where they make a stand.

[–]tehconx0r -1 points0 points ago

I walk around my university campus on my long day at school, casually smoking from a pipe. No one bats an eyelash.

[–]Morbanth 4 points5 points ago

Or they aren't in a country where it is illegal.

[–]Citizen1147 4 points5 points ago*

I respectively disagree.

I've been known to stand on the sidewalk, a respectful distance from the entry of the establishment I'm a guest of that evening. Peacefully enjoy my trees alone or in a circle. When, not if, the police or police with liquor inspector make their rounds. The exchange usually goes as follows:

One of us: "Good evening fellas/gentlemen/guy(s)"

One of them: "Topical response"

Most of or all of us: "Have a good one!"

Most of or all of them: "Acknowledging nod and or parting pleasantry"

Guess we are weird here in Fredericton, NB, Canada.

*Edit: We do have lady police, have had similar yet somewhat more flirty situation as above with them as well. Just thought I'd add that. :-)

[–]LeftKarma4Anonymity 1 point2 points ago

Ah, to live in a country where your police don't shoot an innocent child every other week and you aren't scared to greet cops, sounds like a fairy tale.

[–]Citizen1147 0 points1 point ago

The truth you speak saddens me.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I frequently smoke in public areas. Unless you live in an area with strict punishments for minimal amounts of possession, I don't see why you would go hide; people smoke cigarettes in public all the time. All hiding does is contribute to the stigma surrounding trees.

[–]Aisha11 2 points3 points ago

Happened to me today. Had to park on the top floor of a multi-story, which is normally pretty empty. Walked into the stairway corridor to find two young guys rolling a zoot. Naturally they were pretty startled, so I just gave them a smile and said "Nice!". Then warned them that there was someone else on their way too.

Was really tempted to recommend better smoke spots, but alas, I was in a rush.

[–]metaslaytera 2 points3 points ago

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I am also glad you do not rape animals, that would be highly unhealthy.

[–]FlyingPirate 0 points1 point ago

Didn't even check username, good catch

[–]zombiebearhug 2 points3 points ago

as a public smoker, I approve of this. Also, story time!

So, I was at work, toking just a bit on a lunch break. Not a whole lot, enough to get a little head change and enough thc to do the job for the next few hours and leave me pain free, when this dude jumps in his ride right next to me, rolls a blunt and drives off. He doesn't notice me but he does when he returns.

He arrives and puts the remains of his blunt away and looks at me. I raise my pipe in his direction as if to say "Cheers!" and bring forth the flame before going back to whatever I'm watching. The look on his face was entertaining.

[–]EmperorGonzo 2 points3 points ago

I took my dog out for a walk the other night. There is this popular trail by my house. I was smoking a bowl out of my pipe. I blew the smoke to my right. As soon as I did that some guy rode by on his bike....face into the smoke cloud. While riding away he yells "Smells great".

[–]Thefinalwerd 1 point2 points ago

All you need is eye contact and a brief nod of respect, no need to draw attention. Smoke on my brother.

[–]Stay_Happy 1 point2 points ago

On 420, I was smoking on my porch and someone was making a left on my block. Makes eye contact and gives me a thumbs up. Gave him one back.

[–]worldofbluntcraft 1 point2 points ago

Only in r/trees can this .gif still make it to the front page. Uptokes!

[–]friednoodles 1 point2 points ago

I can watch Chow Yun Fat give me the thumb up all day long. I don't know what you guys are complaining about.

[–]cindysunshine 1 point2 points ago

Whenever I see the bowl going around..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIcHXgY0KKo&feature=related

[–]kirbed 1 point2 points ago

I like to know that you enjoy observing others smoking, and of course the fact that you don't rape animals.

I've always wondered where that gif originates from. A movie?

[–]SparklyVampireDust 0 points1 point ago

I sometimes wonder if people can see me in my car when I use my dugout; I mean it looks like a cig but clearly I only take a draw and then stop...

[–]Epershand 0 points1 point ago

I love walking around San Francisco and getting hints and wiffs of it here and there.

[–]eshcatonia 0 points1 point ago

When I go out for my daily run, I often catch whiffs around the neighborhood and inevitably I spot someone smoking nearby. I always smile and wave.

[–]Look_Im_On_Reddit 0 points1 point ago

This is one of my favorite gifs. Works in so many situations.

[–]atroxodisse 0 points1 point ago

About 10 years ago I was at Barrymore's music hall in Ottawa. A friend and I were there watching a Black Sabbath cover band. Some older guy, late 30s I think, who claimed to be with the band, offered us a seat at his table. He produced a joint which we happily shared with him right there in the bar. After we were done one of the bar tenders came over and said we shouldn't smoke any more of that in there. I think my favorite part was that he wasn't mad and they didn't ask us to leave.

[–]AkBlind 0 points1 point ago

It has always helped me meet new ents by walking past and sniffing the air, then in an excited voice say, "wow something smells great! Super fresh!"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Hey, you don't rape animals do you?

[–]dontdoit89735 0 points1 point ago

This is one of my favorite gifs of all time, uptokes for that, and uptokes for not raping animals!

[–]townybyaccident 0 points1 point ago

REAL LIFE UPVOTE, i wish i could see this dude everytime i win a game or complete some shit.

[–]AustinTreeLoverPineapple Club 0 points1 point ago

I was on my way to the Alamo Drafthouse to see a movie and I stopped on some steps outside to smoke a bowl. This man, maybe in his 60s, comes up and sits next to me. He looked cool so I held the pipe out to him.

He said, "Well, I just smoke a whole joint, I don't know if I should. Oh, what the hell."

We sat there, watching the tourists go by and he told me about his family and how he's been an artist in the area for years.

I missed the previews to the film, but it was worth. I really love Austin.

[–]kossae -1 points0 points ago

Where is the looped version of this gif? I need it in my life.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

Uh....in the original link?

[–]kossae 1 point2 points ago

Lol wasn't clear enough. There is one floating around that's just him with his thumb up and it's his chewing that is looped over and over.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Oh, you should be able to just make that in Fireworks or something I think. If you can't find it, I mean. I might give it a shot later if I'm feeling motivated.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago
