holy shit dude now that i remember i've gotten pulled over and caught with weed 2 times because of that shit i always bought green and black bics before though that's crazy shit
Whenever you extinguish or pat down your bowl, residue sticks to the lighter, and Ive heard of people getting arrested because the cops have searched their cars and found the residue which sticks more and shows up better on white. So they might not be unlucky, but I never use em for that reason.
That's a good point, I never even thought about that. I use it to back down the bowl and move shit around too. Eek. Nowadays I get the ones with the crazy designs on them.
are you tryin to say that deep down inside.. all lighters are white? :toetap05: just tryin to keep the black lighter down!
That's right, they are. But they don't appear white so where does that leave them all you superstitious people?
I don't know about everyone else, but I don't use them. I may slip up and use them to light cigarettes, when no other lighters are available, but I NEVER light a bowl/blunt/joint with a white lighter, including the ones with the designs on them. lol I don't wanna risk losing a sack again and I don't wanna risk getting arrested again. Both scenarios suck balls. haha
Speaking of your balls, they were attached when these misfortunes happened. Perhaps they were the cause of the trouble. Or the phase of the moon. Or the color of the animal whose path you crossed. (Maybe your cousin is the source of bad luck.)
Oh shit! Now that I think about it, I think I had a lighter with a cool design that said flick my bick on it when i was arrested! Damn, those white lighters are unlucky!
JUST FOUND THIS ON YAHOO ANSWERS Yellow lighters are considered unlucky for the same reason as white lighters. Presumably, the superstition about white lighters originated in the drug culture, but spread rapidly to the mainstream. Among some stoners, it's thought that 'snitches use white lighters.' This is because some smokers will lay their lighter across their pipe in between puffs to block oxygen and slow the burning. Over time, a white lighter will reveal a yellow stain from this, which could be the origin of yellow lighters being unlucky. People who use the butt of their lighters to pack a pipe may also end up with yellow stain on the bottom, which is usually white. I knew an officer that claimed to be able to tell if someone smokes pot simply by examining their lighter, and he was the one that passed on the 'white lighter/yellow lighter' story. The gist of the story is-what's REALLY unlucky is having yellow stains on your lighter, which happens mostly on white lighters.
I always used my thumb or palm to cover the bowl in between hits. It suffocates the weed FAST but it can also be impossible if it's burning too much. Damn hot stuff. Gotta try that lighter thing....the more incriminating I am the better =(
next time you get pulled over by a cop give your lighter the stink finger.. and then the cop will be "whats this brown substance on your lighter there son".. they'll test it and it'll come up as fecal matter and the cop will throw up all over the place :cheers2:
