Or, hypothetically, if you had a stash, where would you keep it? Or, if your hedonism is in the past, where did you used to keep it?

Are/were you hiding it from someone? Or is/was it just a funny place to keep it?

Not that I have anything to prove with this, but I’m curious. It’s three o’clock in the morning, and my mind is wandering. As an art-culture type, I’ve got lots of pals who’ve had to keep various, um, substances in their pads, and I’m always interested to see where people hide their stuff.

Me? Back when I was a young nipper in high school, living at home, if I needed to hide something small, I’d unscrew the outlet plates and stick it in there.

I keep a major stash of XDrinks and chocolate in my bedroom, in the nightstand right next to the condoms. Safest place for it in my house. 🙂

Of course, I also have a Godiva store not 20-minutes’ path ride away from my apartment, so…

Oh, you meant drugs, didn’t you? Well, caffeine counts as a drug, I suppose. \>:)

Back in my pot-smoking days, I tied my stash to a string and then hooked it to the inside of the vent cover (it was one of those ornate, brassy things). Then I’d hang it down the vent and hope the string would hold.

Luckily, I don’t hide stashes anymore. I let my friends do it 🙂

I used to have a big toy Tyrannosaurus with a hollow belly. Lets just say that some dinosaurs are green both inside and out (heh, heh, heh!).

Nowadays I keep it inside an Altoids tin stuck to the back of the refridgerator with a magnet (where my housemates won’t find it).

I “used” to keep it in a tampon box. If you only take out one or two, it looks normal, to anyone who would even look. Sorry, you asked!
