Do any of you guys believe that bullshit superstition that a white Bic lighter is bad luck to smoke with?
It pisses me off so much when people pull that shit on me.

I'm from south dakota and it's yellow bics that are bad luck here. I will literally scream and jump back if I realize i have just accepted a yellow lighter to spark a bowl with, sometimes i'll even go wash my hands. Seems waaaay weird but i've been doing it since i was 14 so it's just a reflex now, like if i grabbed something hot. Stupid shit like that keeps my life semi interesting

Its Red lighters that are "unlucky" in my area. When I lived in South Carolina it was Green lighters. I'm not superstitious so I buy the unlucky colors and not have to worry about them being gaffled/pocketed.

We don't have any of that superstitious bullshit up here, it must be an American thing because nobody I smoke with seem to care.

HTAM

It's not American

It's ignorant.

Though I suspect that American is a synonym for ignorant in some parts of the world.

I once had some kid throw my lighter into the forest at a high school party because of this shit.

and it's not just white lighters I've heard this from, some people say black, etc...


those people are fucking idiots. I would have punched the kid in the face but I had already punched his friend earlier that day, I was just too stunned to do anything when he took the lighter out of my hand and threw it. I just fucking stood there with a blank face.

Cerpin Taxt

Maybe he wanted to piss you off because you punched his friend in the face.

I think its funny that the colors of cursed lighters changes depending on location.

I love cursed white lighters. This means I never buy lighters, I just get the "cursed" ones.

José

nahhhhh, surely no one is that spiteful.

Xil

with white bics you can see how much fuel you have left. that bothers me, i feel like it keeps the relationship between man and lighter from being genuine and sporadic.

also most white lighters used to have a cool design sleeve on it. i hate when your smoking with some noob and suddenly realize theyre fucking with the sleeve and it turns into a dumb old white lighter.


not bad luck and ill still use one, but i prefer other colors. really any bic is better than those shitty 50 for a dollar crack lighters.

I've never heard of this shit before, whats supposed to happen if you smoke with it? do you go into a hellish parallel dimension like in The Evil Bong???

Yeah, lighter racism is just retarded. And if you practice this, then I have lost a small amount of respect for you for caring about something so trivial.

If you refuse to smoke pot over lighter color, you're an asshole.

Xil

ive never met someone who refused to smoke because its a white lighter.

the only things worse than people who have fun holding stupid superstitions is people who care about other peoples stupid superstitions.
