    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.

    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.

          There is also the one where you use a bent wire to score the plastic liner on the inside of the can then put the acid in the can and swirl it around and pour it out. This leaves the can looking perfectly normal but makes it so you can easily rip the can perfectly in two to the amazement of your chemistry students.

    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 your 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.

        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.

        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.

          Well, what are the fundraisers for? They have them by me, for PTO, for the band, for sports, etc. Extracurriculars. We’re not fundraising for school lunches and books (yet).

    It has always depended on enforcement. I had to take a city bus to high school and there was frequently a student or two who would toke up on the buss. Most of the drivers didn’t care and we would all get to school smelling of that nasty shit. This was in the 1970s.

    I’ve not seen anybody use a vape inside a retail store, so I can’t speak to that part. I just assumed it was covered by the same or similar laws as smoking tobacco products inside businesses.

    On the other hand, my limited experience with some of the younger generations is that they’re way more comfortable with driving while under the influence of thc than older generations.

      I’m in my 40s and still hit my pen almost every time I pee in a store or restaurant. Nobody seems to notice and they certainly don’t care. Just be careful around smoke detectors. I set one off in my house once just hitting the pen right under it.

      It is banned under the same laws and rules, but since it takes less than 2 seconds to take a hit and blow it downwards so it doesn’t show on cameras, you have to be there the moment it happens or they will deny it was then. I see kids vaping on the bus often, and this is what they do. Yes, kids. I see 12-14 year olds doing this. I’ve also seen people doing big vape clouds in bars, beside the signs saying no vaping.

        I’ve seen people discreetly vape weed while walking between concourses in airports, and I’ve done it, and so what. Not around crowds. Bathrooms tho yes, into the exhaust fan. IDK how those of us with legit medical applications are supposed to medicate during travel days otherwise. And thank god for it. I used to have to take harsh anxiety meds instead.

        This is why i hate vapers way more than i hate smokers. At the very least smokers go elsewhere when they smoke.

          While vaping inside places where it is not allowed can be annoying for others, I would still prefer that over being stuck next to somebody who reeks of cigarette smoke even if they aren’t actively smoking.

          Atleaat the vape smells nice usually

    The ol’ “doob tube”. Ahh, the memories. We thought we were being sneaky but it was more of a, “Congratulations, now your room just smells like dryer sheets and shitty weed, you fucking genius.” And we all just did that anyway.

    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.

      We would put it in a empty water bottle and cut a small hole in the back and blow out through that so the smoke would me amied out the window.

      It was dumb, becuase it did not take the smoke from burning the weed in the first place into account.

    Remember when Sobe bottles were glass and had the manufacturing weak point near the bottom you could smash out with a nail and a rock? They made excellent steamrollers.

      I never tried that, but if you fill a bottle with water and submerge it in water then you can drill holes in the glass without it shattering
