Everyone knows that white lighters are Bad Luck. Most people understand it as a fact, even though they may not believe it. But does anyone know the real reason behind it? There are multiple reasons in history why white lighters are considered bad luck. The first reason, is because when disposable lighters first came out, they only came in two colors. Black, and White. Now, when people would try to pack bowls down with their lighters, the ash would often get stuck to the bottom of their lighters. So when they were being investigated by police, white lighters would show signs of smoking and ash burns, and black lighters wouldn't. Another reason revolves around Four Famous Musicians (and Fellow Stoners), Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. All four of them were left-handed, and they all died at the age of 27. The coincidence was that all four of their autopsies showed that when they died, they had White Bic Lighters in their pockets. So next time that you are in a sesh, and someone pulls out a White Lighter, throw that shit away or brake it. I have had several personal cases where bad things happened, and every single time we had used a white lighter. Still don't believe me? Keep using your white lighters and you will find out soon.

I use a white lighter fuck luck. But thanks for the story behind it.
No Problem! It's always a good conversation starter to tell this story at seshes. And I'd reccomend getting a new one, cause I don't want anything bad to happen to a fellow stoner :)
100% true, iv had many bowls break on me when i would be using a white lighter. even one time when i was walking into my friends house, i through my bag of weed on the table and it fell off into a bucket of rainwater while using a white lighter to smoke prior to going there.
ive been arrested twice with a white lighter each time.... im 16 and right handd, it doesnt give a fuck who u are, if u got the white lighter u got it coming
....
Got caught by my school after smoking with a white lighter. Had that bitch in my pocket.
I'm 27 left handed and fucking amazing. Just used a white lighter to smoke a bowl. Aren't the bottom of black lighters white? I don't know . Peace.
Never ever break someone's lighter, dude.
That's just playing into karma's hands, making you the administer-er of the bad luck. The bad luck being that you broke their damn lighter.
That's a grade-A party foul.
In the process of breaking it probably start a fire because of the bad luck somehow it would happen
no a party foul is when someone spills the bongwater all over your carpet 3 times
What about one of those lighters that are actually white underneath when you tear the cheap wallpaper off of them? (unless you have a solid colored or black lighter) Can those be considered unlucky right off the bat because of it's white interior or only if you take off the wallpaper then revealing the white?
I thought it was yellow lighters that are supposed to be bad luck.
....but then everyone else in the sesh is like "fuck that" and smokes anyway, and you know your ass is gonna be like "ahhh fuck it, lemme get on that"
Also like to add that all Bic lighters are white underneath the color, the white ones just don't have the color coating....and the bottom of all Bic lighters are white so you'd see the ash. And I assume your ignoring all the people who died or got caught with colored lighters...I'm sure if there was a study the numbers would be similar. I hereby dub thee full of shit, you may kiss the bride
i got caught for the first time with a white lighter....AND OH SHIT THE QUESTION FOR THE FILL IN THE BLANK AT THE BOTTOM IS 'WHITE' CASTLE...freaky shit man
only time i ever got caught was with a white lighter.. fuck em
i had a white lighter then i painted on it crazy shit when i was really baked, its now my lucky lighter.
What if you have a case for your lighter? Does that cancel the bad luck?
they seem like they have less lighter fluid too...
this makes so much since! i got pulled over the other night..and i just smoked with a white lighter!
White lighters aren't bad, it's that we all keep thinking it's bad so we keep attracting negativity towards white lighters.
Imagine if nobody thought white lighters were bad.
Then they wouldn't be bad :)
Woke up for a wake and bake sesh and my one and only lighter is out of fluid. Can I borrow someones lighter?
Just hit 200$ today on a scratch off lottery ticket, and yes I have a white lighter in my pocket :)
Man every lighter is white xD
Most are just wearing shirts
YES this is true. the only time i got bagged by the feds during a session was with a white lighter. i didnt even know about that jimmy hendrix kurt kobain shit.
