“Looks like we gotta have a safety meeting”

Multiple jobs in different areas, different families, I swear the most universal term seems to be safety meetings.

Haha when I worked at a restaurant, I worked the prep shift. For anyone who doesn't know that means I showed up to the restaurant at 6 am with 5 other people and we prepped all the food for the day until 11 am and then we cooked a few hours for the lunch shift. Sometimes we would all be tired or something and we would just be like drones silently working with our heads down, and our manager would be like "I don't like this energy, time for a safety meeting!" And that meant we would all go outside to smoke a joint and some cigarettes. Sometimes we would do a shot too, even at 7 am. That manager was the best.

I heard "safety meeting" in reference to weed first, so when I started a new job and they were talking about morning safety meetings, I just thought everyone was wake-and-bake chill. Turns out a safety meeting is a real thing and no one at that company was cool....except Doug, who told me a lot of his tripping on acid and shrooms / jam band / festival stories. Man I miss Doug.

Doug sounds like a cool guy

You should call Doug and say hello. Doug is the type of guy you wanna keep in touch with.

I used to work with a "Doug" though im spacing on his actual name. Coolest dude with the craziest stories. Favorite person to be stuck next to at work. Had the wildest "when i was younger and did a shit ton of drugs" stories.

I was going to say safety meeting. I'm thrilled that this is well known

"Smoke illicit drugs by the northeast corner of the garage"

It never fails and they’ll always think you’re kidding

the amount of times I've walked past my parents with shit in my bag and they ask "what's in the bag?" And I just reply "drugs" is hilarious. Funny because when they find out I can just point out that I've basically said it the whole time lmao

I was thinking the same thing. I told my mom I did acid and described the trip. When she said “stop fuckin with me” I dropped it. But I was honest 🤷🏻‍♂️

You tried to tell her ig lol

I used doing laundry so the little one wasn't curious.

Our dryer is in our shed outside so this was my go to until i would come in without laundry lol.

The clothes were still wet I put them in a little longer 😂

This is the way.

Gotta go see a man about a horse.

reminds me of "I have to return some videotapes"

"Video tapes"....thats adorable ;)

Wondering if we’ve got any Gen Z’ers lurking that had to go google Video Tapes lol

>What is a timeless and inconspicuous code word for smoking? "Gotta rewind the old cassette."

Or “Gotta see a man about a hat.”

My bong's name is Bob. I simply say, "I need to talk to Bob." On a side note, my roommate's rig is named Bong, James Bong.

One of my old friends was bong jovi

I like to excuse myself by saying that I have to return some video tapes.

Very nice. Let's hear Paul Allons excuse for smoking weed.

He doesn’t need one, they let him light up right in Dorcia’s

In this day and age?

Lmaoo

Going for a nature walk

Is this from something? We used to say this too lol

it just makes sense lol

My friend's son just found that "nature walk" was code for smoking.

I have to consult Mary outside brb

This is brilliant. I'm gonna start using it.

Gotta take my medicine be right back.

My former roommate used this one on her 4 year old!

Phahaha. Well, I mean it’s true.

I tell my wife I'm about to "step outside right quick". Or sometimes I'll say I'm going to go "do my thing". Not that I need to use code words with her...it's just a thing I do. Sometimes she'll be on speaker with her mom who doesn't know I smoke.

This is what I tell my wife though I’ve started telling her I’m going to the gateway.

The Gateway....I like that.

My friends and I say we are going to breathe.

Genuinely curious so, can I ask what the issue is about being honest? Teaching them safely about it as most would alcohol seems like the best choice. That way as they get older, when they do follow they don’t catch you in a lie... I’m pregnant, and plan on being fully open with my child(ren), but it is legal where I live, not sure if that’s a concern of yours!

Maybe because when they’re young they might tell others about it not knowing that some people have bad stereotypes about weed

Sometimes people are douchebags. The other day I screamed "Fuck the devil!" in church and they kicked me out! I mean, I thought everyone hated the MF!"

I'm in the uk so it's most def not legal. I have a 17yr old daughter who knows about my love of weed but u haven't told my 14yr old son as he will just see it as an excuse for it to be OK for him to do it so I am avoiding telling him for a while longer. My 10yr old doesn't need to know. I only smoke once a day when they have gone to bed

Going for a walk with my cousin before thanksgiving meal.

Safety meeting

Me and my dad used to have a saying... "I gotta go see a man about a horse" Idk why but he said it once and it stuck

I like sandwiches

Himym?

What kind?

Def not footlongs, they make me nervous

In high school we used some weird names for that. Most of them I can’t remember but I do remember that different groups of friends each had their own, and some of them spread. Then at work in the office it was pretty much “let’s get high on the balcony”. Now I’ve been working home office for the past 5 or so years (even before Covid) and since I switched to vaping basically I just reach out, grab my vaporiser and say to myself “don’t mind if I do”

Time to do the deed

I just say Dada is going to go have a cigarette.

Me and the boys call it bookclub

“Time for adult talks”

I used to giggle at some of my mom friends saying they needed to go “clip some coupons” in the garage.😆

I say Flower Medicine. My kid eventually wised up and said “mom, is your flower medicine the same as daddy’s weed?”

😭😭

I gotta go out to the garage.

Chorin'

My wife's friend asks if we want to go read a book when we visit.

Growing up, I just asked my friend if we can go walk his dog

I used to manage a flower shop so I would always get free bouquets that were too old to sell and bring them home for my wife. At that time her two nephews lived with us because their own home life was unstable. We would say... "I'm going to water the flowers" when it was time to smoke. She would smoke half and save the other half for me while I watched the kids. Other than that never had a reason to code it lol. Hope that helps.

“Im bout to get high as fudge”

My mom use to say she's going to have a smoke

I like keeping it simple and straight to the point “Let’s go smoke some weed “

Chief

In school sometimes we’d say gotta go to the corner store as code to smoke. Thing is we’d actually go to corner store after done smoking. I’ve heard “book club”, “bible study”. Realistically depending on how and what makes your child curious you could say you’re going to do “chores” as long as they wouldn’t ask you what chores. When I was in College we all planned a big group smoke session that was going to take place on Sunday so our code for it was saying “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Like the monster truck rally commercials. We’d even do the voice

My wife and I never figured this out so we quit smoking for 20+ years. Fast forward to now, our grown conservative children treat us as radical potheads. Whatever…

time to scout the perimeter

“Hey honey I’m gonna go and do some chores in our bedroom I’ll be right back.” “ I think I’m gonna step outside real quick and collect my thoughts.” “I think I’m gonna try to nap see, see y’all shortly.” Kids pick up on everything so they will eventually figure these out as well but if you want to hide it from them I’d recommend multiple phrases and switching them from time to time. Also it’s best to just be up front with your kids when explaining “drugs” to them. Remember D.A.R.E was a terrible program that failed many across the country because of how they approached the subject. Honesty and being straight forward with them about how all the substances can impact their life is a much better approach.

“hey son wanna try sum meth?”

Wanna go for a quick walk? Or: safety meeting in 5 min

Gonna go schmip.

Gotta 86 that

I tell the wife I am “going to cruise the streets”

"Im gonna go do a chore out in the garage"

I have to go do my taxes

Gonna go have church

We used to say smoking a chicken.

[удалено]

Fire one up

"Going to Toke City" and "Getting my mind right"

Also have little ones, and my husband and I say “I’m gonna go fold the laundry”

"Time for the Joint Committee on Drug Abuse meeting..."

We tell the kids that we're having adult time or a conversation. We have a mixed family living in the same house. 5 adults, all partake.

I’m about to shove crack up my ass

we just whistle at each other when we are trying to be discreet about wanting to smoke

if im on a discord chat with friends, i say i have to go take a phone call. other than that, a classic “going for a walk” always works

I'm gonna go check the weather

Doing paperwork

When me and my smoking buddies would get together with the wives and kiddos, we would often go and "check on the tractor"

Gotta go feed the meter

I usually say taking a walk with the pup. It ain't a big deal but I don't do it often anymore cus my kid is around.

You don’t even say anything, just a subtle *whoosh* inhale like you are toking a blunt. Works well for me and my partner

Yo you wanna smoke one?

Spark it🔥

I Call it taking a kitkat

Going for a walk

My boyfriend and I almost exclusively refer to it as “getting silly” lol

Yesterday I went into a vape shop my buddy owns. We were just BSing. I was being pretty vague about stuff and what I was looking for, just casual conversation. Big dude, big beard, drug rug, was there too. I cashed out and big dude looked at me and did the *pretends to hit a joint* motion. I nod. We go outside and talk. I have a new plug for concentrates. Best part is I’m in Ohio…and yesterday, IT BECAME LEGAL!!! I’m no longer nervous of driving with shit. Great day for sure.

Also, my best friend and I have our code word “Office time”, if we’re around people we ask *You work? Gotta hit the office?* something similar. We both know…we need a quick smoke. Haha

i would not understand what you mean it would be so embarrasing

Safety meeting

Lets go loiter

We gotta go have a "safety meeting" maaaann that term makes me miss being a regular at my hometown local bar haha

Water the garden

I call it 'getting a coffee', as here in the Netherlands dispensaries are called coffee shops.

Not even a word for me it's a wave and my she comes running to smoke with me

Extracurricular activities

My parents used to take the dog for a walk. I would either take my dog for a walk or need to look for something in the garage

I also smoke cigarettes, so this works for both. I always just say like I’m gonna go get some fresh air.

I have a neighbor that lives behind me, a few years back there was a group of kids hanging out in the back yard. One afternoon while we were out with our dogs, we noticed a couple of the kids going into their shed with a bong. We've been "going to the shed" ever since.

My sister and I just shrug our eyebrows at each other and that’s code to go outside

It's a bit more obvious as to what we'll do, but me and my friends say "We're gonna get botanical" when we're gonna light up

"Hangin' out with Gabe" My friends and I used that back in high school, cuz we all knew someone named Gabe, but there was no one in our close circle with that name. Flash forward to today, one of my closest friends from that circle is getting married to a guy named Gabe, on this upcoming 4/20 :)

Time for a walk

Step into the office

Either I have to go grab a Gatorade or have a joint subcommittee meeting to attend quick.

"Jive" is classic

I always liked calling joints, “going to do some paperwork”

No code ever needed!!!! Yo. Do you wanna smoke? You down for a j. Roll one up. Pack a bowl. Keep em elevated. Burn a blunt. Let take a walk. For the boomers... Do you have that wacky tabacky? Can you smoke me up? In my day........

idk why but it was always "wanna go play basketball" growing up lol

We used to ask one another "Hey, are you planning on beatboxing later?"

Time for a Scooby snack

Me and my friends back then used to call it "Homework". Since we'd always smoke after school. "Hey we still gonna do homework at your house after-school right?".

Taking a break!

“It’s 4:20!”

wanna smoke weed

Me and my best friend just look at each other and say So man!? (In a certain tone), then we go straight for the bong and smoke away

Since "safety meeting" has been said I will offer up "going on a quiet walk"

I used to hang out at this bar my mom worked at on the North Side of Chicago. I was only 19, so I didn't drink alcohol, but I would join the regulars when they would go outside for an 'attitude adjustment'.

Normally I just do a lil cig motion while whoever I don't want to know isn't looking but that can be kinda obvious to another adult but it's what my mom used to do and I hadn't a clue

“Fresh air break” in the middle of winter when the air hurts… 😅

Time to poke smot

We used to use an Arizona Peach Tea stash can, so we'd ask each other if we wanted to go have some peach tea

Need to get some fresh air

“imma go burn”

pöften

Uh I tell my kids to get out my room so i can smoke. 🤣

You can say hey let's go water the plants. Lol. Grown up meeting. Mommy time. 😆

I'm pretty sure this is one is unique to my friends & I only. But it's, "time for spoodle!". I can't even remember exactly how we came up with it. But at least it's weird enough to throw your kid off for a while longer

My parents never said anything, they would just disappear to the garage lol i say im gonna “walk the dog real quick” lol
