Hiding Your High: The Complete Guide to Being “Stealth High”

If there is one thing that weed users can agree on, it’s that nothing beats a good high! However, there are situations in which you may need to know how to not act high, such as at work or school. You may even need to know how to act normal when high around some family members.

In this guide, we will show you how to act normal while high so that you can still enjoy your high as well as all the health benefits of weed without drawing attention to yourself. Let’s get started!

How to Hide Being High

There are many situations where you may find the need to hide that you’re high. Outside of concerts or casual friend hangouts, the majority of our lives demand us to be socially responsive and responsible, though technically we can function in most cases if without these expectations.

With that said, the situation often demands us to appear sober. Here are a few common mistakes people make when attempting to blend in with the not-so-fun folks:

That weed smell: In situations where the area isn’t so crowded, the scent alone can give you
away. If you know you’ll be going outside, consider taking a few weed edibles instead. When in
more packed areas, you can blend in more easily, unless you also match with any of the below
Red eyes: Some people have red eyes, droopy eyelids, or glazed over eyes when they are high. This can give you away easily, so be aware
Talking too slow or too fast: When you’re high, you may talk differently than when you are not high. This may include speech that you usually don’t use, repetition, or speaking slower or faster than usual.

Covering Up the Fact You’re High

Hiding the fact you’re high is not always easy. Special attention will need to be paid to both your appearance and your behavior. Here are some tips to keep in mind the next time you need to know how to act normal when you’re high:

Cover up the smell: A bit of pit stick and cologne/perfume can go a long way. Also consider
changing your clothes, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, and airing out your car.
Be mindful of your appearance: dress nicely, leave the baggy clothing at home. In most cases, dressing sharp makes up for the lack of being able to think sharp.
Don’t talk if you don’t have to: altering your pattern of speech is the most difficult, as it’s basically out of your control. Try not to speak unless mandatory. Pretending you have a sore throat or a cold usually comes across pretty well.

In some situations, it’s simply unavoidable to be spotted out as a stoner when you’re just too high.

If you know you’ll be going out or require social interactions in the short future, consider consuming marijuana of the Sativa nature instead of Indica, as Sativa can grant you more active energy.
