    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

        I’m (sad) laughing at this because my kid’s school recently brought back fundraising with more products that parents will actually buy (who are the ones contributing to the fundraising)

        We had some conservative fucks ban a bunch of shit for fundraisers during the pandemic, and tried to blame all the lack of fundraising on covid. But the. Last year, it was proof they ruined everything and were voted out.

        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 you’re 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Very glad that my dumb ass probably has like 10% less plastic in my brain than most people my age because I never smoked out of cans. Thanks, paranoid teen me!

        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.

    I’m Gen Z and did all that shit. I still remember the VG extraction methods to make eLiquid with THC from YouTube. And then kingpens and brass knuckles and others became accessible. The good old times …
