Shoulders of giants, indeed
well, millenials can now buy a weed pen and hit it at target if they want to.
One time, at a party in my house, a guy chugged his bear and then immediately started Macgyvering a pipe with the can. I was like “oh, been a while since I’ve seen anyone do that. Should I just get him some rolling paper?”. And then he put meth on the can.
That’s an M Knight Shyamalan twist.
Actually, both generations got it wrong. We rolled with biodegradable papers. No plastic required.
Across the street from my friend’s house, there was a mini forest There was a clearing inside, so people would hangout there, some people made bike trails and stuff like that.
At one point some people brought in a wooden picnic bench. So, my friend carved out a place on the bench to smoke weed form.
tldr - I smoked weed out of a picnic bench.
Remember when Sobe bottles were glass and had the manufacturing weak point near the bottom you could smash out with a nail and a rock? They made excellent steamrollers.
I never tried that, but if you fill a bottle with water and submerge it in water then you can drill holes in the glass without it shattering
Gen x my weed was brown from a brick and mostly seeds and stems.
Used to love getting the corner of the brick and seeing it’s compressed shape LOL.
Rolling on vinyl album covers
im gen z and I’ve smoked out of a mcnugget does that count for anything
My respect, for one.
I… What?
cause the crust on those nuggets are so thick and kind of separate from the meat of the nuggets, you can punch a hole in the side of the nugget for a mouthpiece and pick some of the crust off the top to make a bowl. the taste is off-putting tho
I sort of can’t imagine a situation where I could obtain a mcnugget but not a soda can or some foil.
The engineering of this doohickey is incredible.
Reminds me of an old meme about how pot smokers can be excellent engineers when needed.
Reminds me of part of this Denis Leary routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68vv1sIyaMs
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.
Respect, and idk what your pipe is, but I want to take this moment to spread the good word of DynaVap. Seems like a receptive audience.
DynaVap is a maker of small metal pipes that bakes the weed via convection, instead of destroying it via combustion. It’s gentler on your lungs, no smoke. It allows for a fuller extraction, more high. You can even use it inside & the vape dissipates relatively quickly, even still your gf could use a boof tube. You’ll spend $40 to $240 on a piece, but let’s be real, it’s more like at least $75-125 minimum because you don’t want the $39 B model. On sales they sometimes throw those in for free. Have some respect, don’t buy it.
The best part of all, besides being healthier for you, more discreet, better flavor, and gets you more high times – you can blow $230+ on the all-titanium HyperDyn & if you’re a heavy user, I can personally guarantee you will save $400+ buying flower. Once you stop burning that shit like a caveman & switch to convection bake, the flower lasts so much longer. To buy a legit ounce from dispensary where I live, that’s $280-300. It’ll last quite a while if vaping with a Dyna.
Any convection method will do, but if we’re talking Apocalypse/off-grid options, consider the Dyna – small, all metal, battery-free. Got an o-ring in there. Provided you don’t just lose it, you will die & your great-grandchildren could pick up your used Dyna & vape weed with it.
One of my favorite devices! That was my first dry vape and now I’ve got the volcano as well.
My favorite thing about dry vaping is I can get high on the vapor, and then use the decarbed flower (since we don’t have to combust it) to make edibles.
This sounds great and I’ll have to look into it. I have nice glassware pieces for home, I rarely like to take glass out in my pocket. I remember this gaming convention I went out to, there was a field in the back. We went back there to smoke and there was already circle.
In this circle, they were passing around chocolate Godiva vodka and this really REALLY cool piece. It was a large bowl, fat and completely see through. Inside was this massive plastic replica of a HUGE joint, rolling around free. On the side of it, it said “The Labrador”. It was an old first production Tommy Chong piece. Felt honored to smoke from it.
My step-dad is a straight laced guy; ex-manager higher up in the mill business. He bought a lathe. For Christmas he gave my gf a really nice pipe from a kit he bought, which surprised us all, lol. The kit comes with a cone pieces, metal tubing, a mouthpiece, and even a screw on cap with a small hole in it, too keep your herb inside when it’s tumbling around in your pocket. He buys acrylic blocks and lathes them to make different colors.
He’s been making a decent side business selling them to local headshops for $25 apiece and buys the kits for $15. I’ve told him he could charge more, but its just a hobby and he doesn’t want to get greedy with it. He can make tiny short ones, or double pipe long ones. The cones even have a shelf to set screens on. I’ve always just flattened a piece of sticky bud to make a screen and keep the ground material out of the works, but the little screen shelf is great for that. I bought one and that’s what I use to carry around. Its an all metal-acrylic construction.
Here’s a pic of one (not the best quality camera, lol):
He gets all kinds of cool acrylics and the metal can be silver, gold, or black. My gf loves halloween, so she has a black one with a bright orange mica design acrylic. It completely screws down to the base components, so it’s super easy to clean.
Pro soda/beer can pipe tip for those reading a local backup of Lemmy during the apocalypse: if your knife is stuck in a dead raider and you need a toke, you can snap part of the can’s pull tab off to make a puncture tool.
Don’t forget to get that knife back though, fr. Actually maybe go do that first, but still do this rather than use a bloody knife. Hygiene, man.
You should see prohibition artifacts.
Curiously in the eighties coke was affordable only to folks richer than I am,vwho were critically white and didn’t usually get booked for nonviolent crimes.
I used to sit by my open window and the moment my parents car drove away, out came the super towel tube with dryer sheets
And did mom think you cool when you were getting high in her house?
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.
I’m in my 40s and still hit my pen almost every time I pee in a store or restaurant. Nobody seems to notice and they certainly don’t care. Just be careful around smoke detectors. I set one off in my house once just hitting the pen right under it.
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.
This is why i hate vapers way more than i hate smokers. At the very least smokers go elsewhere when they smoke.
(If you’re vaping to quit though you have my respect)
While vaping inside places where it is not allowed can be annoying for others, I would still prefer that over being stuck next to somebody who reeks of cigarette smoke even if they aren’t actively smoking.
Atleaat the vape smells nice usually
Oh yeah absolutely i’d rather be next to a smoker than a vaper. But because smokers go to smoking areas that I obviously have no need to go to, I encounter inconsiderate vapers way more than I do smokers nowadays.
Only time smokers become a problem for me now is briefly walking past them or at outdoor festivals.
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.
These were done in crowded, enclosed areas. And not very discreetly.
I have watched a bus driver flip out on some skater kid for vaping on the bus. We need to get aggressive with this bullshit.
Boofing my edibles over here
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?
We would put it in a empty water bottle and cut a small hole in the back and blow out through that so the smoke would me amied out the window.
It was dumb, becuase it did not take the smoke from burning the weed in the first place into account.
Yes a homemade sploof to hide the aroma
it does not work at all
It’s called a “good neighbor” and it has fair to middling effect.
I always called it a sploof. And walking in on people who had just used it, it does not work at all. But if you’re high it seems like it’s working wonders lol.
Or, you know, just hotknifing hash out on the deck and not giving a fuck.
Well, that takes me back to 2013 when I hot knifed hash on a deck while not giving a fuck.
Ahhh hot knifing, the tequila of weed smoking
Explaining to my parent why the knives were all sooty and burned up because we were cooking dinner and someone left it sitting on the burner.
technically not a lie
Yes, soda can isn’t fun.
