Now, I’m sure most of the patrons of this site are probably well seasoned smokers who know the ropes of the drug game like the back of their hand. However, there are undoubtedly some people out there who have yet to try buying weed, and are understandably a bit intimidated by the concept. Hopefully I can clear up any misconceptions, and quell any fears you might have.

Reading this could very well keep you out of jail.

It sucks to get busted. The above document, which was written by VladTemplar, tells you exactly what to do when the police attempt a violation of your rights. Have you ever wondered where the best place to store your drugs while driving is? Wonder no more (the trunk). You will also be instructed on how to deal with police who bang loudly on your door when you’re just trying to toke and listen to a little music. More advanced topics such as search warrants and the ol’ stop and frisk are also covered.

All credit goes to VladTemplar for originally writing this.

So you want to know the state of the law eh? Then listen up.

I should file this piece under Humor. The author makes one valid point (torch lighters are good) but then completely undermines his entire cause by saying “No, don’t buy those. They’re too expensive. Buy cheap lighters.”

At least my bowl gets roasted every time I exert a minimum of effort to roll the striking wheel on my Bic.

In response to the Bic essay:

As a frequent marijuana user for the last few years and daily smoker for the last two, I have dealt with my share of lighters. There are many different styles, ranging from the common flint and butane, to the more expensive and more personal Zippo, and finally the expensive torch lighters which can cost up to and well over $100. With such an overwhelming amount of lighters, some people just give up and pick the cheapest and most popular of them, but this may not be the best choice.

It has never ceased to amaze me just how many stoners partake of our peculiar craft with the inferior sort of lighter that is a complete chore to get lit and keep lit. During my introductory period to the herb, I was always at the mercy of other people’s lighters, and as a result of this I am a hardcore lighter nazi. I shouldn’t have to state this, but by referring to myself as a nazi I am attempting to illustrate by means of hyperbola that I am rather picky when it comes to the sort of lighter I choose to carry. Anyway, I soon learned that the piss-poor lighters other people carry are never to be trusted when it comes time to light the bowl. The solution?

A Bic lighter:

Hell yes. These lighters are simple, practically indestructible and they always light until they run out of gas. Really: every stoner should carry a no-nonsense gets-the-job-done-every-time lighter like this. Plus, the safety mechanism is laughably simple to remove and with a minimum of work (how-to of that here) you can remove it and have a lighter that is extremely easy to strike:

We can do this, people. It’s not hard. Just buy the damn Bic next time you’re at the convenience store and you need a lighter.
