The topic title is pretty self explanatory. I've become quite paranoid recently. I am a pretty new smoker, only been smoking for about three months now, and when I first started out I bought a scale because it seemed like the smart thing to do. I could weigh up my stuff and know if a seller was awesome and packing my stuff fat, if he was trustworthy and the stuff was weighing up exactly, or if he was trying to cheat me and my stuff weighed up short. The more people I encountered though often tell me getting caught with a scale is a big no no if I were to ever get caught for some reason. So what's the best way to get rid of it? I know wiping it with an alcohol pad will get rid of any residue but what about fingerprints?
Also, I recently bought this stealth stash product where it's an energy can that opens up and comes with a grinder and a scale. I'm thinking this would be a smarter option for me. My only concern is that it's some no name energy drink company I've never heard of so it may stick out a little bit more than I would want. Thoughts?

wtf dude? chuck it in the bin at uni/school/work... or just out into a river. its a tiny scales, not a camper van lol SR forums make me laugh

lol'd ^^
I don't think this thread is really necessary, use your initiative :)

PS if you have scales, just put them near some jewelery, broken pieces of gold or silver. After all they are jewelery scales. Just dont have any coke or heroin residue on them. If you do then you are sloppy and need a smack across the head.

lol I think I need more people like you in my life to keep me grounded. I'm not sure if it's all the drugs or what but I'm just very paranoid and like to be as safe as possible.

I just put the violin down when I'm frustrated with scales.
Scales? You're worried about scales? If you are worried more about paraphernalia than your drugs, then I think you are probably a very safe person to get high with.

If Capture Troopers bust down your door for a scale, then you probably live in Russia, China, North Korea, or some Islamic Imperialist State--or somewhere that has a serious grudge with science and measurement... metrology--the science of measurement.

Sorry, to answer your question:
1) give it to a stoner friend
2) give it to a scientist
3) smash it to bits, then flush it (remove batteries first!)
4) burn it (remove batteries first!)
5) Why on earth would you destroy a scale? A precious piece of technology? It's easier to get rid of drugs, and claim innocence, then to take your paranoia out on your solid state piece of gravitational wonder.
6) STOP DOING SO MANY DRUGS, you're just paranoid.

send it to me I'll happily take it! :)

A new smoker who has suddenly become paranoid, I think you need to cut down mate
-
keep it in the kitchen! it's a legit cooking tool
-
It knows your secrets and must be destroyed. To destroy a scale, you must shoot it at 20 yards with a .45 caliber handgun and give it a viking funeral or its soul will haunt you for eternity.

lol how old are you?

The TV series "Breaking Bad" would suggest hiding in plain sight, as one of the responders suggested. Placing the scale right out in the open, or near your stash of beading supplies, is perfect. A friend of mine beads a lot and has her scale in the open on a shelf near her beading books, etc.
Keep us posted on your final decision; as a future vendor on SR I am asking myself the same question. I have a fair number of visitors to my home. I'd prefer not to have to go through the house "cleaning up" before they visit. I don't want my blood pressure rising just because I'm choosing to run a clean, helpful business on SR.

I think I'm going to go with the keep it by the jewelry suggestion and just make sure I wipe it down with an alcohol pad after each use. As for why it seems I'm more concerned with paraphernalia than the actual drugs I guess it just goes with being treated as a user vs a dealer. If I was to ever get caught I have a clean record so I can see maybe just some community service, rehab, or bullshit punishment like that being thrown at me. But if they were to decide to try to paint me as some sort of dealer, that's when jail becomes a very real and scary possibility.

Dude, obviously your about 15. If not you're probably smoking more than just pot. Afraid Mom might find your scale and give you a spanking?

Lol are scales even illegal? Take some xanax and chill out man.

In most states you could be prosecuted for dealing in controlled substances + paraphernalia, + possibly maintaining a common nuisance if you're selling weed out of your house, especially over 30 grams.
So basically keep it under an ounce and hide your scales and baggies in plain-sight or off-site.
-
Sell your scale on Ebay or something like that.
Or, even better, donate it to one of Silk Road members around here!! We'll make good use of it :)
Regards.

scales arent illegal but LE in my country use them as an argument before court that
one is not using privatly drugs but distributing them instead.
to OP dont smoke too much, makes you paranoid.

Whut?? That sucks. In that case I'd keep it in the kitchen with the measuring cups and some recipes that involve weighing food.

Thank you. This guy gets it. You guys are trying to paint me as some sort of nutjob. While I won't rule out the fact that drugs may be to blame for a slight increase in my paranoia. I've always been the type of person that's always thinking about the worst case scenario and try to stay prepared and as safe as possible. I'm rarely in possession of anything over an ounce and now I am going to keep the scale by the jewelry so I can sleep a little easier now.

Burn it with gasoline in the common area of your university, and make sure you video it and throw it up on youtube so you have proof it's gone, in the event of a raid.

HAHA.
