obviously the frat president knows a little more about the basic physics of bongs than the fire investigators do.
2
this is the only real danger from pot smoking. Who hasn't set something on fire at least once when stoned? It is a good thing eyebrows are not explosive.
3
Damn, Michael Phelps is crashing frat parties EVERYWHERE!
4
Note to self: next time remove burning charcoal from windowsill before getting high.
5
Marijuana does cause testicular cancer, but of course you bunch of pot-heads wouldn't ever post on THAT.
6
How many house fires from drunk people smoking tobacco?

Well?

I think that's far more of a risk.

But then I live in this place called Reality.

@6 From what I've observed, no, you don't.
8
Hookahs use charcoal, not bongs. It would be hard for even a clumsy stoner to start a fire with a bong.
9
Sounds like a hookah-related mishap to me.
10
Yet more confirmation, Frat boys are dangerous.
11
hey andrew@5

you are correct. but it's an altogether different story for women with breast cancer.....

Unattended bongs are very dangerous. I left one on my back deck once; it wandered off and got in a fight with the neighbors pug. Both of them needed medical attention which I ended up paying for.
13
Huh. I didn't know it was even possible to keep a bong smoldering. Must have been a hookah, not a bong.
14
It has happened to me when ashing into a trash can that had tissues in it. oopsie!

15
@12 - you should chain it down, just in case it attacks any children. Bongs are like that. And the glass can really hurt.
17
Obviously the fucking crows got into it. Man, I hate it when that happens.
18
ahh my alma matter.... luckily i was not a sig chi... we were smart enough no to burn down our house.
19
Maybe U of Missouri-Columbia frat-boys can only get ultra-flammable tinder dry schwag.

With the kind bud in the Pac NW, we're hard-pressed to keep a cherry going when passing it between two people, much less actually starting a fire with it.
20
Hahaha. I went to school there. One of the frats tried to blow up another frat with a cannon. That was funnier.
21
my unattended bong beat up of your honor student
22
that's ok, ello, we know what you meant.
23
OK, here's my dangerous pot-smoking story.

Getting high with a friend A LONG TIME AGO (did you all see that? I said "A LONG TIME AGO"), and he was using a Bic lighter to tap out the bowl. He was tapping pretty hard, and the thing CRACKED OPEN!! No explosion, but that thing hissed like a cat as the compressed butane poured out of it! He slowly put it down and let it finish out-gassing, and we avoided lighting another lighter, or otherwise causing a spark. Man, if that thing had exploded, I might not be here today.
24
23: Wow! The exact same thing happened to... uh, a friend of mine.

That said, wow, hard to believe a stoner would, you know, zone out on doing something basic.
25
@ 24 - Regardless of how much you've smoked, basic survival instincts are still there.
26
sounds like somebody put drugs in his drugs
27
okay. unattended coal = hookah.

if that frat is seriously smoking weed so dank that it will cherry for long enough to START A HOUSE FIRE then for the love of god someone give me their dealer's number.

(not kidding)

it was a charcoal from a hookah, used to smoke shisha, flavored tobacco, not marijuana. I know, because it was my hookah and I was the idiot who put the coal on the windowsill. The bottom part of the windowsill is concrete and I usually put it on there to let it burn out. Unfortunately, on this day, I was rushed - to go to a Keller Williams concert - and thought the coal fell off the windowsill entirely, or onto the concrete part. I had no clue it stuck to the tongs and fell onto the thin edge of wood. This was perhaps one of the saddest mistakes of my life as it cost me a place to live and a place in my fraternity. I was NOT high when I put the coal out the window. I quit smoking pot in November. The AP took the headline "bong blamed for fraternity fire" and ran with it. It sounds hilarious I admit, but it is incorrect.

Marijuana does not cause cancer, nor does it cure it or work against alzheimers. All of these studies simply correlate the two. NONE of them prove causeality. It could be that people who have the pre-disposition to testicular cancer have something else about their lifestyle that gives to them smoking pot. 60% of all adults admit to smoking pot. What percentage of ppl have gotten testicular cancer?

These studies begin with a hypothesis written either by the MJ lobby or the anti-MJ lobby (big pharma/big corrections) in order to establish a correlation and prove their point. Until some physiological causality is proven, they are meaningless. Cigarettes have been proven to CAUSE lung cancer. Pot has only been proven to help sick people and to entertain bored ones.

Please wait...
