Places You Should Absolutely Not Light Up (But Probably Thought About It)

We get it… when you’re vibing at just the right level, everything feels like the perfect place to spark up. But sometimes, the universe (and local laws, social etiquette, and basic survival instincts) is whispering: “Bestie, maybe don’t.”

Whether you’re a seasoned stoner or freshly flower-curious, let’s explore the most hilariously inappropriate, awkward, and flat-out wrong moments to light up.

Plus, we’ll sprinkle in a few Indacloud favorites that deserve a better stage than, say… a church parking lot.

1. Grandma’s Funeral (Or Any Funeral, Honestly)

Let’s set the scene:
You’re wearing all black,
the organ’s playing,
and you just know Lemon Cherry Gelato would help you process this emotionally chaotic moment.

But babe… no.

Unless the dearly departed requested a cloud sesh as part of their final wishes, this is a hard pass.

Swap Suggestion: Instead of passing a joint behind the casket, slip a 50-count Soda Shop Gummy in your pocket for post-ceremony decompression. New price, same nostalgic magic .

2. Job Interviews (Not EVEN at Indacloud)

Yes, being your authentic self is important… but not too authentic.

You might think that a quick toke before the big meeting will “calm your nerves,” but nothing says “unhireable” like red eyes and forgetting what position you applied for halfway through your intro.

Better Idea: Save your OG Soda Bundle for your celebratory “I got the job” dance party at home. Until then? Deep breaths, eye drops, and confidence.

Bonus Points if you can pass Josh’s High Detector

3. Inside a Public Library

We love reading.
We love weed.
We do not love being the person who hotboxes the Dewey Decimal section.

If you’re really dying to re-read The Great Gatsby while elevated, might we recommend a more… private… locale?

Pro Tip: Try a Vanilla Berry Pie joint at home, paired with a candle and soft jazz playlist. Get that academia vibe without getting banned from the building.

4. During a Breakup Conversation

“You’re amazing, and I love you, but I just think we’ve outgrown each other…hold on, let me hit this real quick.”

No.

If you need emotional support before a hard convo, that’s valid! But doing it mid-sentence makes it feel like you’re breaking up and turning the whole thing into a solo smoke sesh. Not cute.

Instead: Queue up the “Dump Truck” strain post-convo and scream-sing sad girl anthems into your pillow later.

(Bonus points for journaling while your vape pen blinks judgmentally)

5. On a First Date in a Windowless Car

Nothing screams “kidnapping vibes” like trapping someone in a sedan full of mystery smoke. Sure, sharing a hit can be intimate… but not when your date’s makeup is melting and the only airflow is you cracking the window like, an inch.

Swap Scene: Plan a park picnic and bring a discreet edible like our Soda Shop classics. Low-key, sweet, and way less likely to give horror movie vibes .

6. In a Confessional Booth

Do we even have to explain this one?

Forgive me Father, for I have zooted…

Just… don’t do it. He’s watching.

7. Inside Your Tent at a Windy Music Festival (During a Fire Ban)

You’re half-naked in a glitter kimono.
You think you packed rolling papers.
Your lighter doesn’t work.
The tent is flapping like it’s trying to take flight. And there’s a fire marshal making rounds.

Please. Don’t risk burning down the desert.

Smarter Move: Pre-pack a Beast Mode 6g disposable and maybe follow it with a nap in your shade tent like a responsible raver.

8. On a Conference Zoom Call (Camera On)

Yes, you’re WFH. Yes, technically no one can smell you.

But when your eyes start drifting off-camera and you’re giggling at the Word doc title, Krissy from Accounting knows.

They all know.

Elevated Alternative: Light up that Ice Cream Cookies blunt during your lunch break instead, and give your brain a proper reset. Don’t let a 2pm calendar invite be the reason you lose your perks .

9. In Line at the DMV

It’s already the seventh circle of bureaucratic hell. The last thing anyone needs is someone lighting up and slowing things down even further.

Reward Yourself After: The DMV deserves its own recovery plan. May we recommend the Indacloud Toki Loyalty Program? Earn Cloud Coins, cash rewards, and feel-good perks just for surviving the system .

10. At a Kid’s Birthday Party

The bouncy castle? Not for you.
The cupcakes? Tempting, but don’t touch.
The moms? Judgy.

If you’re catching side-eyes while trying to microdose in the corner with a fruit snack, maybe it’s time to find a more adult-friendly event.

Do This Instead: Bring your own “party favors”, like the Pineapple Express 2pck PreRoll to the after-party with your friends.

Bonus if you play stoned Uno and eat the leftover cake .

Final Puff of Wisdom: Know the Vibe Before You Light the Vibe

Cannabis is about connection, creativity, and (sometimes) pure chaos. But that doesn’t mean every setting is a good setting. Trust your gut, read the room, and maybe don’t smoke at your niece’s ballet recital.
