I must be getting old

[Lutherf]

I just stopped for breakfast at my regular place. It's a local diner a few blocks from a high school and there is a head shop next door. The kids usually don't have anything to do with the diner crowd because the average age of the clientele is probably 65.

Anyway, as I was heading for the entrance a kid approached me and asked if I could buy him a "blunt wrapper". I had to ask him to repeat himself because I wasn't sure what he said. I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure he wanted something to smoke weed with.

Is a "blunt wrapper" the same thing as rolling papers?

Anyway, I have no pretentious about my pot use when I was a kid and don't necessarily fault the kid for trying but what has happened to today's youth that they think asking strangers for this kind of "help" is a good idea?

Meh, you look pretty shady :2razz:

Pretty sure he meant a package of cigars. To make blunts they hollow them out and fill with pot using the cigar skin as a paper. He probably was too young to buy tobacco products. And yes, you have gotten old :mrgreen:.

I think its a short recording artist from Detroit.

Back in the 70's, if we thought you were a cool adult (21-30yr old) and kind of hippy looking, we'd ask someone to buy beer for us. Sometimes we'd have to give them $5 to do it but more often than not, they did.

We had no problems getting pot and finding ways to smoke it... papers, bongs, pipes, apples, beer cans, hookah's, etc.

That's part of what surprised me. I NEVER asked a stranger for help getting alcohol or smoking accessories. Hell, McGyver was based on the stuff I used to do when I had a baggie and nothing to smoke it with.

Damned kids just don't have any imagination any more.

Was the kid alone?
Maybe his buds were nearby and he was being a smartass.

They're followers even more than our generation because of electronic media. I made my first pipe out of a brass rifle bullet casing with a faucet screen. If a kid ask me for something, I'd say, "I'm going to tell your momma."

A blunt has always seemed like a stupid waste of weed. Today's variety takes one good toke or bong hit, maybe two to send you in orbit. A blunt may be okay for some Mexican "dirt" brown and crappy homegrown.

It is a large, cigar sized "paper" for rolling a really, really fat one.

The entirely wrong way to ingest THC, btw, which should be very slowly in small doses.

I would suggest this is the result, ironically, of harsh anti-pot laws. If memory serves, papers etc. are illegal there, and so the kid needs an adult. The fact that it's a kid is disturbing even more so in that it shows a highly developed and open illegal marijuana trade. That was a severe problem here before the dispensaries came in. They kind of put the "organized crime" side of the illegal market out of business and anyone under 19 can't be in a dispensary.

I would walk from that one unless I knew the kid and there was valid reason he needed herb.

never a problem, we become engineers when faced with such an obstacle...at least before we light it up.

The big bummer? No matches, lighter on a rainy wet day.

I know a gut claims he broke into a house to find a light, couldn't and stole their toaster which served OK I guess.

When I was younger, my best friend used to steal pot from her mom's stash. We ran out of papers once, and she used the paper wrapping that went around tampons. It's very thin paper, basically the same stuff that rolling papers are made of.

Hey, it worked in a pinch.

See, that might fly with women but I just can't even imagine the discussion if it was me and my buddies and one of them said "We can use my sisters tampon wrapper":lamo

Hey, when you want to smoke a fatty, you'll wrap it in anything.

Just don't, whatever you do, decide to microwave Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls after you've partaken of said fatty. They kind of melt. Either that or I forgot they were in the microwave and they were in too long.

And an empty toilet paper roll made for an excellent bong in a pinch. :mrgreen:

YES! :lol:

The tobacco papers Luther was asked to buy are already pre-rolled and shaped by the factory. That way no rolling skills are required of the youngsters.

Around here what a lot of kids do with the already machine shaped cigar wrappers is stuff them with a mixture of loose tobacco and high quality marijuana and they call that a "blunt". And sometimes they put base cocaine, speed or designer drugs marketed as k-2, spice, incense, bath salts etc etc into the mix.

Darned lazy kids....with bad manual dexterity to boot.
This is why we lose manufacturing jobs to China.

American can-do spirit and creativity at its best.
I'll bet those Chinese wouldn't come up with these technical innovations.
Who needs manual dexterity, anyway?

It's no wonder that there are no good guitar players in America's millennial generation bands.
