    My gf still uses the toilet paper roll/dryer sheet trick. The whole apartment smokes, but she likes to be discreet and respectful. She used to also burn incense, but I think the massive amount of incense she’s burned during our time together has made me allergic. Every time I’m near one my throat gets narrow, my eyes water, and I can’t stop coughing.

    About a week ago I forgot my pipe so I took my brother-in-law’s knife, dented a beer can, and stuck holes in it. Gen Z can hit that pen all they want, but I’ll be the one still getting high when the apocalypse hits. These are not tricks. These are key survival tactics.

    I’ve not seen anybody use a vape inside a retail store, so I can’t speak to that part. I just assumed it was covered by the same or similar laws as smoking tobacco products inside businesses.

    On the other hand, my limited experience with some of the younger generations is that they’re way more comfortable with driving while under the influence of thc than older generations.

      It is banned under the same laws and rules, but since it takes less than 2 seconds to take a hit and blow it downwards so it doesn’t show on cameras, you have to be there the moment it happens or they will deny it was then. I see kids vaping on the bus often, and this is what they do. Yes, kids. I see 12-14 year olds doing this. I’ve also seen people doing big vape clouds in bars, beside the signs saying no vaping.

        I’ve seen people discreetly vape weed while walking between concourses in airports, and I’ve done it, and so what. Not around crowds. Bathrooms tho yes, into the exhaust fan. IDK how those of us with legit medical applications are supposed to medicate during travel days otherwise. And thank god for it. I used to have to take harsh anxiety meds instead.

    What does “blow into a toiletpaper roll, filled with dryersheets” mean and do? Is this some kind of air filter to reduce the smell of weed?

    The ol’ “doob tube”. Ahh, the memories. We thought we were being sneaky but it was more of a, “Congratulations, now your room just smells like dryer sheets and shitty weed, you fucking genius.” And we all just did that anyway.

    It has always depended on enforcement. I had to take a city bus to high school and there was frequently a student or two who would toke up on the buss. Most of the drivers didn’t care and we would all get to school smelling of that nasty shit. This was in the 1970s.

    On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.

    I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.

    It is crazy to me that I can just walk down the street to a store, buy some pot and wave at a cop on the way out. Even crazier is that my kids schools fundraising auction has weed gift baskets donated every year from the local dispensaries.

        We had fun fundraising so I’m kinda surprised to see it from your point of view. It does kinda suck now that you mention it lol

        We had bake sales, BBQs, auctions, guessing the number of candies in a jar etc… but I guess it all came out of our parents’ pockets when they already were paying through taxes.

          Well, what are the fundraisers for? They have them by me, for PTO, for the band, for sports, etc. Extracurriculars. We’re not fundraising for school lunches and books (yet).

        Fundraising typically isn’t something they have to do. That’s a wild leap. It’s usually just for an extra field trip or something.

        And more importantly, it gives kids real experience

          I’d count a field trip under the “crazy they have to fundraising”

          I could see it if the fundraising is for an after school club trying to go on a trip?

          But if the class were going to the museum or something, there should be a budget for that.

            I mean our school had trips to Israel, Greece and Colorado (from UK). I know my parents payed money, but idk how much or if it was subsidized/fundraiser for.

            Local trips should be free. Tbh as an adult I don’t like that the less fortunate kids were most likely excluded from the International trips.

            Also: we got stupid drunk in Greece age 15, I nearly got a tattoo. And free Palestine 🇵🇸

            Edit: we also went to France multiple times, but if money was paid there was no big fuss or special meeting. From the uk France trips should be free for sure

              I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.

              Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states your lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library

              There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.

              But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.

    as a gen z i absolutely hate weed pens so much. they take 110% of the fun out of it. and they clog. and taste worse. and “uh hey do you have a charger my weed died” is just ??? no thank you.

    i prefer that apple pipe or literally any other stoner engineering and my sploof. you can put cute stickers and stuff on a sploof too. smoking weed is supposed to be an experience not a quick inhale off a metal rod and forgetting about it until it hits. if ur bringing a pen to a smoke sesh bye. take ur vape somewhere else :) rant over

      Not really the same thing, but I kinda love my desk vape (Arizer xq2 if I remember correctly). Just slowly smoking it for 30 minutes like a hookah while watching a movie is definitely a different experience to ripping a bowl and forgetting what you wanted to do

      My very first experience with weed was at a party, hitting a gravity bong made out of a 2L bottle of Coke, a big jug of Hawaiian Punch, and the fattest bowl I’ve ever fucking seen:

      I hit the entire 2L, (essentially 1-hitting the entire bowl), accidentally sucked too hard at the end of the hit and got a mouthful of dirty bong water, immediately coughed up a lung while trying not to puke my guts out, and had the most wicked high of my life… The way God intended.

      That shit teaches respect. If my first experience with weed was hitting a pen, I wouldn’t have learned that a plant can rip your soul out for like 15 minutes. The same way a newbie beachgoer doesn’t respect the sea until they almost drown, I would have been full of hubris if I had a fucking vape pen as my first experience.

        Fantastic bucket bong diagram.

        I also remember using glass milk bottles. Drop a coin in and smash out the bottom.

        Then heat two knives up 'till they’re glowing red and put a bit of hash on them and suck the smoke through the bottle.

        Lots of coughing would begin…

      I mean if you just started smoking yeah. When you’ve been smoking for 10+ years not every session needs to be life changing. I’ll roll up a nice joint or pack a solid bowl for fun times when I want the “experience” but for normal getting high purposes the pen stays by my side

        oh for sure, but by experience i don’t mean life changing as much as i mean literally anything other than a hit off plastic and waiting for it to kick in, id rather do edibles at that point.

        my normal getting high purposes usually involve a super tiny crack pipe with a bowl that’s already half ash lol. i also just don’t like carts because of how different the smoke feels, so 99% of the experience i mean is probably related to the heat of the lighter or something lol idk

          That used to be my normal until I switched to carts and my lungs have thanked my every hit for years. I know that flower tastes better, but the added shit that comes with smoke isn’t worth it IMO. Personal preference is personal and all that, but yeah, there’s probably part of the particular experience that you relate to and is nostalgic or some shit.

        There’s actually a thin plastic membrane on the inside of most cans. It helps preserve the taste of the product. There’s a couple cool chemistry videos on YouTube where they use acids to dissolve the metal without damaging the plastic, leaving a weird bag of soda with a can lid.

          There is also the one where you use a bent wire to score the plastic liner on the inside of the can then put the acid in the can and swirl it around and pour it out. This leaves the can looking perfectly normal but makes it so you can easily rip the can perfectly in two to the amazement of your chemistry students.
