Hotbox for Dummies

Hotbox is a word that might make you think about small, enclosed spaces, like a tiny room with no windows or even a small car. But when we use the word "hotbox" in a different context, it means something completely different. It's like when we take a word and give it a new meaning, kind of like when we used to call our friends on the telephone, but now we use our phones to do so much more.

So when we talk about "hotboxing," we're not talking about being in a small, stuffy space, but rather, we're talking about something people sometimes do when they smoke marijuana. In this case, "hotboxing" means smoking marijuana in an enclosed space, like a car or a small room, to make sure that the smoke fills up the space and doesn't escape. It's kind of like making a little smoky cloud inside that space.

Let me give you an example to help you understand even better. Imagine you have a small cardboard box, and you put a bunch of colorful balloons inside. Then, you close the box, but before you do, you fill it up with air. When you close the box, the air inside gets trapped, and it can't escape. That's sort of like what happens when people hotbox a car or a small room with marijuana smoke. They're filling up the space with the smoke and keeping it trapped inside.

But it's important to remember that "hotboxing" is illegal in many places because it involves using marijuana, which is a drug that is not legal for everyone to use. So, it's always important to follow the laws and rules of the place you're in and make safe and responsible choices.
