Yeah. I know a bunch of people who are sure that white lighters (and in somewhat more rare cases, black and yellow ones) are bad luck. "Nah man, seriously, my boy got busted first time ever, five minutes after buying a white lighter." No, your "boy" got busted because he's legally retarded and can't tie his shoes on the first try without sticking his tongue out. Fucking idiots.
I've heard that one too. A friend of mine insists that bad things always seem to happen to him or his friends whenever they have a white lighter. BS if you ask me.
I've heard from my roomate a story about his friend at a party on acid thinking that he was a glass of orange juice. Perhaps his friend simply borrowed that one?
On the topic of orange juice, I've also heard that drinking orange juice while high will kill the buzz.
Another one I've heard is that there's fiberglass in menthol cigarettes. And in cloves, too. It's attributed to the crackling. I don't think it's true.
I also heard that smoking menthols while high will make you 30% higher. I think that can be attributed to the fact that you're getting a buzz from the cigarette on top of being high...but in any case, you're not really getting "more high." I simply like the taste of menthol cigarettes when I'm high, even if it's a shitty Pall Mall Menthol.
So I guess if you drink a glass of OJ and have a menthol cigarette, it evens out?
I also heard a story from a friend of mine about how he was in the bathroom at school and in the stall next to him these three kids were dropping acid (literally, from an eyedropper into three separate glasses of water) and that two of them were fairly experienced, and the "new guy" freaked out and ran around the halls screaming because he thought the devil was chasing him. Which is total bullshit because acid takes longer than a few seconds to kick in and one droplet from an eyedropper (which probably is bullshit too...how the fuck is someone going to get pure liquid acid and carry it around in an eyedropper?) probably won't INSTANTLY cause them to be chased by Satan or whatever.
I've also heard the acid being stored in spine one.
I know a kid who did acid back in the day too. Some of my friends were talking about it, and they wondered how his throat wasn't fucked up from the acid since he swallowed blotters after he'd left it under his tongue. They also said that he'd be fucked if he ever broke his back...total BS.
I think these rumours aren't from stupidity, just ignorance. Most of these weird-ass urban legends and stories come from people who have never used the drugs, based on shit that they learned in health class. All I know is that health class made me want to try acid, shrooms, and bud; they most certainly never put into my head the thought "drugs are bad mmkay."
