42 year old here. I can recall sitting in a KFC for hours on end in the late 90s as a teen, waiting for a jamaican named Elvis to deliver weed to me.
You’d arrange a time, I’d show up on time. He’d show up 6 hours later.
And you smoked in your parents basement in the dark. Why the dark? Because if your mom opened the door, it gave you an often crucial extra 5 seconds to hide your bong before she turned the lights on.
Even now, as an adult who lives alone, smoking with the lights on feels WRONG!
I bet these Gen-Z guys aren’t even going to grow up with traumatic paranoia everytime they smoke!!!
This is accurate! Except instead of the basement we only had 1 friend in an apartment whos parents were divorced and the mom worked overnights all the time so we used his room. If we werent lucky enough for this to work out it was our cars and hotbox them in the same apartment complex where we just parked in random spaces. It was always hilarious when other friends came there while we were there and park next to each other and everyone would just start laughing. Outside that there were a few hiking trails and the woods behind the movie theater or golf course which was before we were able to drive.
We even talked about this recently and we all agreed it will be really wierd telling these stories to our kids one day and how crazy they must sound yet that was the only life we knew.
I live by myself in a house, and even when hitting a vape I feel compelled to either blow it out a door/window or directly into a bathroom fan
Gen-x millennial here… (born in the late 70’s but still know how to build and use computers)
I used to smoke weed thru a “pinch-hitter” while waking thru supermarkets or riding the bus. It was a little ceramic or steel cigarette shaped and colored pipe that you could stuff just enough for a toke or two into. Very discrete.
I’d save the pop cans and apples for after school or when I forgot my chambered metal pipe.
We still did the same shit, it just didn’t taste as good
It was easier when everywhere was a cloud of tobacco smoke anyway. Your weed smoke would just kinda get lost in it.
We called it a dugout. It was stored in a little wooden case, and the weed was stored in a separate chamber in the same case.
Target doesn’t allow any of that in the stores, so no they can’t do that anymore than someone could light up a cigarette.
That said, millennials didn’t just disappear when pot became legal. They can vape, smoke, dab, or whatever the heck they want right alongside everyone else.
The important thing is that pre-Z gens can appreciate the improvements, whereas Z and after just take it for granted.
Or alternatively, you could cut the bottom out of a plastic 3-liter soda bottle, make a tin foil screen to go over the top, submerge it in the full kitchen sink, and pull a deep gray, opaque gravity bong hit.
Tbh, I usually didn’t remember what happened after the first hit because, even with 5% mexican brick weed this was still a pretty effective method of meeting Jesus on a jet plane.
don’t know when I’ll be back again
Genius and madness in equal measure.
With their $28.00 lunches…
Sigh, or hollow out a Pepperidge Farm Pirouette with a coat hanger.
