i don't know if this happens to you guys, but have you ever had your weed all ready to go, and you don't have a lighter? this is a problem for me because i can't buy lighters yet.

btw, this is my first thread:thumbsup:

Yeah...when I lived with my boyfriend, he is a cigarette smoker..and I would buy lighters by the 6pack, but everytime he left the house he would grab a lighter..and I freakin' swear that shit would happen to me all the time, I would frantically search everywhere. It freakin' sucks, one of the most frustrating things is having a nice loaded bowl and no lighter.

I remember when I was in high school my good friend and I had this problem..and all we had was a fire place...so we fuckin used a candle haha.

its happened a few times to me as well. and tallulahgreen is right the worst is when you have a bowl loaded and ready to go, but you can't find a damn lighter anywhere in the house! its not like you can use the stove to light a bong...

Dude, they don't card you for lighters..at least not in the U.S...run down to 7-11 and buy a 4-pack of BICs. Or whatever the equivalent is in Australia. I'd be surprised if there was an age limit for purchasing lighters there.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure anyone can buy a lighter, anywhere, for any reason..

And if you really can't get out of the house to buy one (i've been there), matches do the job. Even a candle, though the dripping wax pisses me off.

an age limit on lighters? I don't know about Australia but in Canada I remember buying lighters when I was 10 or 12 to light bugs on fire.

Lol, you dont have to be a certain age...well yes you do, one time a lady asked me how old I was and I said 16 and she said "16?" and she just let me buy the lighter :p.

Here is my new lighter, red (fav color) bic lighter. And i'm glad I got this one because my old purple one was a bitch.

Lol, omfg unless you live in a uppity respectiful community you should have no problems geting blunts or lighters. Just look for a gutter gritty small corner with no cameras store and go in there and ask for what you want. It works because I have one that I go to :p. Stop making shitty substitutes for wrappers and lighters.

Hey, I keep a supply for when others forget. :D

I'm pretty sure you gotta be 18 to buy a lighter...Some people might not give a shit though. I used to buy torches when I was 12 at the convient store down the road from my friends house. It was almost a ritual for us to ride our bikes there and buy a torch whenever I wen't over there. Good times, good times.

Yeah, having no lighter, and bud ready to smoke is a BITCH.

Last friday ALMOST sucked hardcore. Me and my friend are about to blaze and were drivin', and my lighter was almost dead the night before, I light it once and didn't wanna waste any to make sure I could light the joint the next day. Well, I must have wasted just enough cause that shit would not light. And ofcourse the lighter in my car ain't workin' either. I'm only 16 though, but my friends like "you look 18 just try to buy one" (I don't look 18...) and I wanted to blaze so we pulled over to a convient store and I ran in to try and buy a lighter. The guy asked me how old I was, I said "18" hoping he wouldn't card me, he asked what year I was born, I said "1988" and he let me buy it. I was so happy. The lighter that broke was my last lighter too, and I have...well more than 10g of my stash still.

Well if the place I goes to has a camera it's waay far in the back. Seriously it's like a small square building in the back of some gas stations. I sorta think theres a camera in there, I always look around for them. Maybe they have a hidden cam :p.

there isnt an age limit to buy lighters in the US at least. Its more of a store policy than a law anyways. I went up to a guy in dollar tree and asked him if there was an age limit and he said no. my dad also says now and hes the smartest guy i know so..... im gonna have to say no theres no age limit.

i live in one of those communities i usually just take lighters when people forget them, people will leave lighters at my house and itll become part of my collection, i took a zodiac one and it says Leo, so when i pull that out everyones like "cool your a leo, whens your birthday?" and im just like "no, ima libra," it gets confusing but a lighter is a lighter

Now that is a badass lighter. Damn, i didnt even know they came in red. Was that a custom job? That had to have cost like, 1, maybe 2 dollars man. I'm just kidding with you but seriously, its just a bic lighter. A description of it would have sufficed.

Lol Bic's are the best and these are easy to get a flame up instead of those shitty ones that tenderizes your thumb. Lol, and yes it was only about $1.

I have a friend that has a shitty mess of a room and he leaves his lighters all over the place. Every time I go over there and forget to bring a lighter we have to search for 10 minutes or walk to a gas station :P

10-10-2006, 10:05 PM
i use red or orange bics, but i have done without a few times. matches are a pain in the ass, but they get the job done. The best thing to do is use the cigarette lighter in your car. plus you can hotbox it. except it kinda lights the entire bowl if you fuck up. or not at all

BigHyphyD
10-11-2006, 12:15 AM
lol I tried a candle and got my bowl filled with wax =(



yuck lol

i've done that twice.

it's so gross cuz you cant see the wax and it's all in the weed and the bowl and so when you hit it, it tastes like complete shit...


ruined a mighty fine nice bowl of some white widow trying to burn a bowl using a candle.


after that happend, everytime i dont got a lighter, i don't smoke.

TallulahGreen
10-11-2006, 12:42 AM
Yeah..you just gotta turn the pipe and not the candle...ya know? Anyway...Bic lighters are the best, the rest are just crap. I prefer pink myself.

FireyBudBurner
10-11-2006, 12:59 AM
I never remember having trouble buying lighters.. Why would they card some one for a lighter? Neways your all right gotta go with the Bic, I hate those other lighters so much!!, nothing is worse than buying a lighter and having the metal revolving thing stop working with a lot of butane left. BAN OTHER LIGHTERS

TallulahGreen
10-11-2006, 01:01 AM
In the USA or at least I know for sure in my state...you must be 18 years old to purchase a lighter. Yeah bics never break on me, I have when the store is out of bics...and I have to use those crappy plastic ones that always break within like the 2nd time you use them. I have had the same bic for like nearly 6 weeks now probably...

10-11-2006, 01:21 AM
wtf last year i bought a friend nearly 200 lighters for his birthday, no troubles at all, i never knew there was a age restriction on lighters.... lol.

And yes i have suffered the troubles of having no lighter. For the past week i have not had a lighter or matches. Sucked so bad. What i did was spray deodorant on my desk, get an old lighter and make a spark and light it on fire, then attempt to light a candle with the deodorant fire and smoke with the candle. The candle wax all over my bowl and bong sucks. but hey, it got the job done :D

I think some states must just enforce it more than others, in Florida and Michigan I've never had problems or even been asked for ID.

That seems kind of crazy to me. I remember in Utah you have to be 19 to buy tobacco products. I remember going to buy papers when I was 18 and getting turned down and getting mad at the cashier, like WTF I'm 18 cant you read, shes like read the sign you have to be 19 in Utah. Needless to say I felt pretty stupid.
