Hiding Places for Drugs

HIDING PLACES for Drugs and Paraphernalia

If You Are Here, You Have Been in My Shoes or You Are Now.

You may have undoubtedly found some strange things around your house and you've found them in some crazy places. Someone with a substance use disorder or someone who is just heading down that path is resourceful when it comes to hiding their addiction. They put contraptions together like soda bottles aka "Gravity Bongs" for smoking marijuana and use handy things they find around to the point that MacGyver would be proud.
Some parents feel it is a violation of privacy when they "snoop" I will tell you that if you suspect drug use.......Snoop Away! You might be saving their life.

I have found pills in pillows, burnt foil in an old valentine candy box, inside a bible, needles and spoons in a sneaker in the closet, glassine bags in a draw, money, marijuana grinders, vape pens, straightened out paper clips and the list goes on....

​These are actual photos of things that I've found
