Fair enough!

It doesn't cause brain damage, I'm assuming you're thinking about that Alzheimer's 'link'? It was proven wrong. Another case of causation and correlation being mixed up.


Ok, seriously, just stop for second. Before you post one more thing, google it to see if you're right. IT couldn't be much more than 50% for legalisation. As the above posts show.


LOL 1000 is more than enough to get an accurate representation. For a study that is. Polls are different though. 1000 is still good, but it just fails coz it's a poll. It's not getting a wide demographic, because the people who take the poll find the poll, whereas in studies, the researchers find the people, and they work it out so they will have a good representation of the whole country, because they ask a lot of different demographics.

Finally! Thanks you.

But seriously you guys. Listen to tommo, he has his facts straight. I'm not saying everyone else is wrong, but it's just dumb when people keep posting wrong information.

The reason smoking out of aluminum foil is safe is because you can't inhale the aluminum unless the solid turns into a vapor.. Basically no lighter can possibly reach that temperature, you'll know if you do when it starts to melt... You'd be pushing far higher temps than any butane lighter.

yeah, but melting point still isn't a boiling point

anyways, I'm probably done with weed for a while, or at least until I find a working lighter (which could be a looong time).

lol, do you have to be 18 in the US to buy a lighter?

No, but you have to be 16 to drive anywhere to get a lighter.

EDIT: actually, I think you do at a lot of places, that's just store policy though.

It's not giving off any vapor until it reaches those extreme temperatures.

Odd I find lighters at stores, they sell them... And I hand them money, than they give me lighters...

If you aren't old enough, you really can't get a lighter or a book of matches?
Must live differently than when I was younger.

Just read your last post, do you live in the middle of nowhere or something? No stores nearby?

well like I said, the real problem is getting it, not buying it. I can't just ask my dad if I can buy a lighter. There's no normal reason I'd need one.

No older friends, that's too bad.

none that I trust enough to even tell them I smoke. But now that I think of it, I bet I could ride my bike to a 7-11 near by. I haven't done it in a while though and I forgot how much their lighters cost.

No you don't need anyone of any age to buy you a lighter. I've bough lighters, zippos, fuel for my lighters and even hookah's.

Just go to ANY gas station.

And if your parents ask why you have a lighter, just say it's for fireworks.


But you don't need to have a reason to stop smoking weed. It's your choice, and either way is fine of course. No one will treat you differently if you stopped smoking

Forgive me in advance, Nina, for straying off topic and disobeying the drug policy.

As far as I'm concerned, the hierarchy for cannabis paraphernalia materials is as follows:

Stainless steel. Expensive, but easy to clean and unbreakable. It also looks rather sharp.
Glass. Easy to clean, can look pretty cool, but very easy to break.
Ceramic. Cleanable, doesn't look as nice, and breaks at the drop of a hat.

Wood. There's a break in period for every wooden piece: you have to char and tar up the inside before it stops tasting like the inside of a chimney. However, very old carved pieces look like something you'd keep as an heirloom rather than smoke in.
If you're going to build your own wooden pipe, I'd suggest two things. One, that you know what kind of wood you're using, and two, that you have a decent understanding of how to use power tools. Drill presses save you lots of time and wasted wood.
Most people can't get super exotic pipewoods like briar, so I'd suggest the following species:
Black Cherry. Turns and works very easily, and unlike some other woods, the char absorbs the smell a lot better.
Maple
White oak. Red oak has humongous pores that interrupt with the smoke flow.
Ash will splinter readily when working with small pieces, but will still work.
Stay away from most softwoods.

Pretty much all beverage cans have an epoxy liner in them. Soda, juice, and beer are incredibly acidic and will eat through an aluminum can.


They card for zippos in Ohio. But not Bics. I can't understand why.

Temporarily closing this thread while drug policy is being amended. We'll re-open it as soon as we're finished amending the policy, as well as this thread.
