It's Almost 2017, So of Course People Are Smoking Weed With Lasers
    #23969782 - 12/31/16 01:09 AM (7 years, 30 days ago)

https://motherboard.vice.com/read/weed-lasers-youtube

If you’re yearning for the aesthetic that brought you those rad Lifetouch yearbook photo backgrounds, but also want to get blazed out of your skull because it’s legal in a bunch of states now and, why not? Well, you’re in luck.

Some marijuana purists prefer to avoid butane methods for igniting their bud. Vapes and hemp create a cleaner-tasting smoke, but what if you’re in more of a vaporwave mind? Two days ago, Youtuber “Oregon Marijuana (Jake)” posted a video of himself smoking a bowl using a really big, high-powered laser. That’s raised a few questions from us: Are there more like him? Have they all lasered their eyes out by now?

It turns out the answer to that first question at least is a hearty, “jeah brah!” Although it’s difficult to pinpoint a specific date or person responsible for pioneering the trend of smoking weed with lasers, high-powered consumer lasers have been on the market since the turn of the millennium, and our internet sleuthing reveals the idea of using them to burn cannabis for the purposes of obtaining its psychoactive effects goes back to at least 2008. Journey down the smoked-out rabbit hole with us for a retrospective into the weird, wild world of weed with lasers.

Jake’s not sure what this thing even is. It looks to be a laser pointer similar to this 300w model, selling for around $160. It comes with handy red-tinted glasses, which he has wisely opted to wear. “Tasted super clean,” he says, after taking a bong rip that would knock a lesser Jedi into another dimension.

September 2016, a simpler time. BIOHAZRED SEVEN here uses a Class AIII 2000w laser, a straw, and a toothpick with resin on it to to light a bowl, and then the laser itself to light a blunt. And some sick After Effects magic to make his eyes light up. Lasers, bro!

Four years earlier, Canna Occult uses a 532nm 300mw laser to smoke a bowl. The trichomes — the super-fine hairs covering the bud — magnify the laser’s brightness, he writes in the comments.

“The way of the future.” Enough said.

Oh my god, he lights the joint from several feet away while his buddy holds it in his mouth. No protective eyewear. No fucks to give. Just two guys, a decent-sized living room, and some blunts to roll. This, from the year that some predicted laser vapes would rule the non-combustible world.

Also in 2012, EddieBear2007 used a 100w Spyder 3 Arctic Laser to light a bowl. He only posted one more video after this one. Moving right along!

“Laser pen lights a bowl of marijuana is it organic or radioactive,” Justin coffman, creator of this 26-second video of a bowl lighting sort-of-asks, in 2011. Well, Justin, you’ve probably already figured this out since you haven’t turned into a Ninja Turtle yet, but you can’t get radiation poisoning from smoking weed with a laser. Although “laser” is an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” radiation here refers to the emission of a photon, or electromagnetic radiation from the electron shell of an atom. It’s not the same as radio waves, microwaves, or the ionizing x-rays, where high doses can cause cancer. You’re fine, dude.

In 2008, three short years after YouTube was founded, people started putting it to its intended use: Videos documenting weird shit with questionable safety.

The description here barely enlightens: “brandor lighting the blunt with a super high powered super illegal laser.” It’s super illegal to aim laser pointers at an aircraft or a peace officer, and for a distributor to sell a laser over five milliWatts as a consumer grade pointer. It’s not super illegal to own one, nor to get high using it, unless the weed is what’s going to get you busted.

As the year 2017 begins, we feel confident in saying that more blasering will occur and be posted online for posterity. To all those involved, have fun. Enjoy the collision of powerful futuristic technologies and libertarian drug policy (at least for now). And maybe think about wearing eye protection.

Idk about the hemp smoking shit (I'm picturing a total new age hipster right now "I dont even smoke weed or cigarettes, just hemp, for the flavor and healing benefits":rofl:) but this reminded me of some weed snob we knew in Oregon.

This kidnwould only smoke buds if they were chrsitened by jesus himself, bapfized in the waters of savengaard, and lit by a quartz crytsal by the sun at noon.

No, but really this pussy would turn down anything that wasn't out of his bong and lit with his special crystal (pretty sure chi and made up energy had something to do with how special it was:rofl:)

Never heard of hemp wick? It was all the rage before glass wands and portable vapes. I used to use it, it has a taste for sure, but not as noticeable as butane.

You don't think it could vaporize weed?  I think it could be the technology in newer vaporizers.  You would of course have to have the perfect strength of laser, maybe even an adjustable power lazer.  People wouldn't lose vision either if it was contained in some sort of chamber that shaded it from your eyes. 

The article does have a few flaws like you said though, and it might not be the best way to light a joint.

It's got a taste because it's coated in beeswax or something. I HATE hemp wick for this very reason. You get hot ass wax dripping in your weed and all over your lap/table.

I have used hempwick for years with 0 issues like this... Maybe you are just buying cheap/ poorly made stuff.

The amount of wax on the wick is very miniscule, just enough to allow it to stick to itself and be rolled up.

I have never even seen wax drip off hempwick, sounds like some really poorly made stuff you used...

Could be it

This is the hemp wick I was using in the past

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F21Y2OC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It would mostly drip if it was angled upwards when lit, the wax from the burning portion would melt down the rest of the wick and drip onto stuff. And if I was lighting a bowl, it would be facing down and dripping the wax into my bowl.

Their are a lot of brands of wick so it would make sense some are overly waxy.

I have some old wick sitting around I just used and you can barely even feel or see the wax on it, it doesn't even really stick much.

Generally I just buy whatever I can find the best bulk deal on, usually 10-20$ for hundreds of feet of wick :lol:

Here is a brand I think I have used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HempBees-Organic-Hemp-Wick-430-ft-1mm-w-FREE-SHIPPING-hempwick-line-lighter-/222301843676?hash=item33c238f0dc:g:kJYAAOSw44BYGV3B

10$ for 400 feet.

I have literally never seen wax drip from hempwick so that is pretty surprising. I feel like smoking with wick tastes much better personally.

Most lighters come with super cheap mass produced butane which is fine for joints and cigarettes but torching pipes/ bongs with em seems nasty IMO.

Hemp wick only puts off any smoke right as it is lit and when you put it out, it burns very clean IME while lit.

I also like to use refillable lighters and dump the cheap butane and use some relatively pure stuff but it's nice to smoke solvent free as well :stoned:

i used that hemp rope a few times, my friend got it for free from a head shop. Never noticed any wax dripping off it.

I think the idea is silly really as is the lazer bs mentioned in the OP. Just a novelty.

I mean how much butane are you inhaling off a 2 second flame from a bic? Couldn't be much. Especially if you're just lighting up a joint or blunt, one light and you're done. And if you light a joint like some people (myself included) do, by burning the tip and then inhaling, you're not even possibly inhaling any butane.

Also with pipes and bowls, an experienced smoker will never torch em as it wastes bud.  Just a short little one second hit of the flame to a corner of the bowl and just let that shit roast as you hit it. I hate when i see people torch the shit out of a bowl and/or waste mj by needlessly stoking a pipe so that big wasted plooms of smoke leave the bowl/mouth.

If potentially inhaling a small bit of butane is such a troubling thought to you, then perhaps you should switch to vaporizing instead of smoking. Because you're gonna freak when you hear how smoke affects the body.

On a related note lighting anything with these things sucks: matches, candle, zippo, burning cig

If i were to do away with butane/lighters id do what my old dealer did. He had some stupid expensive bong with all the bells and whistles which he would light using this glass (i think pyrex) stem that he heated ip with a propane torch.

It isn't the butane the worries me but the impurities in it especially cheap butane.

Then you have all the possible fumes from the burning butane + whatever impurities maybe present.

Like I said for joints it's not as big a deal but I would rather not risk it.

I've heard of hemp wicks, i used one in high school for a little while. I think i just worded what i meant horribly wrong because looking back i have no clue what that part of my post means:rofl:

Edit: One of the posts above that one i made, made it seem as though the article(which i didn't read thoroughly) was saying people smoke straight hemp. Just rolling up blunts of hemp.

Thats what i had in mind when i said that, and i believe the poster above me did too.

I swear, some stoners, the way they talk about inhaling toxins, you'd think their respiratory system was made up of fairy wings and spider webs.

Your body does have defenses. You can recover.

The best defense is a good offense, as in avoiding ingesting any unnecessary toxins .

Clearly the body can handle some but it still seems safer to keep it to as few as possible.

Just becouse you can recover from some stuff doesn't mean people should push it or assume things won't negatively effect them.
