    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

        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.

        Even if a school is completely funded, fundraising still pays for things above and beyond what any funding buys. Elite private schools still do fundraising drives. Nobody has ever said “you know what, we’ve run out of things this school could spend money on.”

        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.

        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.

    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.

    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

      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 me 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.

      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…

      At a certain point you get over the ritual, and the ability to get high on a ski lift or an airplane bathroom kind of takes precedent over the “experience” and becomes its own subversive ritual in its own right.

        i do agree with your comment, and carts can definitely be superior in that way, but 2 small things. 1: edibles before a plane has always been the ritual of many many, and eddies don’t die or clog or etc. id also imagine TSA might make bringing a pen a little difficult. but more importantly, 2: why would I want to get high while snowboarding or skiing?? im very clumsy and uncoordinated while affected by well any substances, and that sounds like an accident waiting to happen lol
