You didn't specify weed.







And now I'm kind of curious why you bothered making this thread in the first place. If you've got everything so under control and your hometown is so laidback that you don't care that people are telling you it's a bad idea due to the potential legal consequences (or whatever) because you don't think they will happen to you, then good for you. Have fun and don't let us stop you. And I mean that.


But don't start a thread about how you are going to break the law and complain when people are telling you that it's a bad idea to break the law for reasons that you also don't seem to care about.

My friends and I party frequently and have never run into any major problems (Except once where one friend got busted for throwing a party by the police, and the only consequence he suffered was that he had to call his parents and that was basically it).

First things first, don't assume that just because your friend got off with a slap on the wrist that you'll get off with the same. Just like how you may or may not have the police come to your house, you may or may not be arrest and suffer criminal charges especially in the case of weed.

Regarding weed being at the house, I wouldn't have anyone out front obviously. The way my house is set up, I'd have people in the back, under my porch to which the smell can't really go anywhere but within that capsule. It'd be hidden from basically everyone whose not in the general vicinity of the smokers, really, which would be obscured to all.

Not really different from what I advised.

That is exactly how it should be set up to lessen the risk of the police or deal with disruptive party-goers. Just don't let your guard down regardless if you still go through with this.

Edit: I see a bit of a different. Make sure your front door is watched. Use the peephole advised in one of the videos I provided if you're not going to have a few friends out on the front porch on watch.

As a matter of fact I am taking your guys' advice to heart, specifically those who don't come in with a condescending attitude. ChaosSupremeSonic's posts in particular have been pretty helpful as well as a bunch of other ones. I don't understand why this is such a racy subject to all of you guys and why such negative energy surrounds your posts. Regardless of what I'm doing is legal or not, being called an idiot and that "the only reason to do such and such things is if you're depressed" is quite demeaning and uncalled for.

Of course, that's why I made the topic in the first place. It confuses me because where I live parties go on all the time and I've never, not once heard of a party getting busted that ends with someone getting arrested. Yet, reading on the internet how I could get arrested and all that seems so unlike what I've grown up with and seen with my own eyes.

I don't think I wanna have people just like, on my front porch, I feel like if anything that'd cause attention to neighbors for there being "suspicious people standing around so-and-so's house". However, I was considering having a friend or two on look out at the front windows after you recommended having some sort of look-out.

Personally, I just believe drugs/alcohol aren't the means to a good time. Alas, I gave my advice and I hope you take some of it to heart. I will say this though, have a fun and safe night. Hopefully it goes off without a hitch.

[King Sombrero]

Lucky you live in a laid back town. My town is extremely cactus up the ass anal about pretty much everything, especially this. I guess that's why I may have sounded a bit hostile, sorry.

The reason why is because it basically IS an idiotic thing to do, dude. Particularly the smoking weed. That's generally why you're getting these responses.

But I feel that a bigger idiot is one who isn't prepared or too careless for these things. At the very least, you need to be careful about these things because although things may be lax where you live, there are legal consequences regardless. Now, I personally don't care about the underage drinking. I'm 20 years old and I drink alcohol (wines preferably, but regardless I drink occasionally and at my house or some place I plan to sleep over at and never drink if I'm a driver), so I can relate. But the weed? I personally stay far the fuck away from that as possible due to the repercussions surrounding it.

People party, people drink, people (regrettably) smoke, all in the name of fun. But don't let the fun get so out of hand for you that you get into shit you regret.

Which is why I'm looking to be higher educated and go into planning this party with these things in mind, as opposed to winging it like I've done twice in the past and yielded mixed results.

This I don't understand. Smoking weed has been decriminalized where I live, thus the ramifications regarding being caught with it are greatly lowered than what they once were. Unless you are caught with roughly an ounce of the drug (Which is about 28 dubs, $560 worth), you can't really be arrested for it unless there is reason to believe you are selling it. The health issues regarding smoking are significantly less dangerous than those regarding alcohol, and under the impression that those who smoke less than once or twice a week keep it at that, I'd hardly consider it "idiotic".

You would have saved yourself an awful lot of grief if you had made this known in the beginning. I wasn't aware of that for your situation, for example.

I mean, I assumed this was the case for all of New York and was common knowledge.

You know what they say... to assume is to make an ass out of you and me.

Have fun with your party

You can still go to jail for it depending on the circumstances, ie. if any of those party goers leaves the house.



Edit: And while I was aware of it and was mostly worried about you having enough of it at the party so it crosses back into criminal charges, most of the people on this board would not be aware of New York State laws, no matter how old they are. Considering how many people are arrested over the "in public view" corollary of the law, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people in New York weren't aware of it.

Good, but all the planning you go though can still be wrecked by some other idiot who wants to make a ruckus. You jusr need to make sure to handle that.

Well see, I live in Texas. And as easy as it would be for me to look up the laws regarding this stuff (which obviously I haven't), at the moment I don't know anything about the legal repercussions of smoking weed aside from the fact that you can get arrested for having it. That wouldn't mean much to me if it weren't for the fact that you can easily smell the stuff if you're not careful with it.

And honestly, I consider drinking enough for me. I wouldn't touch cigarettes, and while I know that weed is much less harmful, I wouldn't touch it either. Were that not the case, I'd occassionally dab into it every few whiles, but currently, it's not something I'm gonna bother with.

It's also because of these things that I don't throw parties myself. I'd much rather go to someone else's than be the one to clean up the mess and worry about other stuff.

EDIT: Also who the hell has that many "friends"?

I kinda do. I wouldn't say they were close friends, I only have a handful of those. It's easy to gather that many people around though, seeing how there could be friends of friends and such. I mean, I know a few people I call friends but I only come in contact with them via other friends. I guess they should be called acquaintances, but you get what I'm saying.

Also, I'm pretty sure if I posted on my FB page that I was having a party and put down when, my address and my phone number I'll have a good amount of people show up. Either that or he really personally knows 30+ people like that XD

I am the only who thinks that a bad idea? Seriously you don't really know these people so how can you trust them in your house?

Also isn't advertising a party on Facebook is a really bad idea, I mean anyone could turn up.

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Here's the advice. Don't. Don't ever do that. Ever. If anything happens, you will be fucked for supplying alcohol to minors, even if you didn't actually supply it.

[Blue Blood]

Beyond the rest of the issues, this stood out. That's just way too many for you to hope to keep things low-key. Also everything else that Tornado and CSS said. Bloody hell.

I take it you guys have never been to a house party? Because that is way too ignorant a statement to take seriously.

There are house parties that can practically have more than just 30-40 people depending on the size of the house, and the host can be unfamiliar with a lot of people. That doesn't mean it's impossible for someone who knows how to handle things to keep under control.

I doubt that's even their point. The amount of people wouldn't even be a problem if it weren't for the fact that he's having responsibility worries about getting caught having alcohol or weed among minors, and if those two aspects need to in any way "make" the party, a clean cut solution would be cutting down those numbers.

Then again I fucking hate parties that have more than 10 people around so I can't say I'm qualified to make a statement.

We live in the UK, where it is almost impossible to fit 30-40 people in a single house without being noticed, unless you're REALLY fucking rich and have a large house/mansion. See its a small country and houses down here miniscule compared to the average house in the states.

Things work differently I guess.

In all honestly, I find it difficult to imagine a single individual keeping control of 30-40 others when there is alcohol and/or smokes on offer. The likelihood of the majority getting drunk and being uncontrollable is higher and thus, so is the risk of getting caught. Generally, when you're drunk you lose perspective of any consequences and you become very noisy.
Don't know if its any different in the States, but that's at least what I'd imagine would happen when there's booze. I mean unless everyone is responsible enough to stick to a couple pints of beer and no more than that. Given that there are under-aged people involved, I very much doubt that is the case though. If it is, then I apologise for over-generalising, but I just don't see it happening.

Because I'm not from America, its hard for me to give any kind of reasoned advice any way.
