and it brought back a memory or two.
I’ll save you a read, nobody knows. a theory that connects it to the 27 club (various celebrity musicians who died at the age of 27) is debunked. it’s proposed that a white lighter could be more easily stained by cannabis resin, and thus be a giveaway
Thing is the bottom is always white and your caught if you smoke jazz cigarettes
My stoner friends back in high school wouldn’t let anyone get in their car with a white lighter for fear of being pulled over and caught with weed
that’s so dumb. I bet anyone worried about that is super obvious for multiple other reasons too.
I have never heard of this, ever.
Huh, wouldnt have guessed that. My theory was that people thought they might be older lighters that had printed wraps that weren’t selling, so they were peeled off and relabeled for sale again, meaning they had lost some fluid over time.
