Question White Lighters, Bad luck?

I was driving back to school with a friend of mine and it is an 80 mile drive, so to help make the drive go by a little faster I loaded up a bowl. Just as i was about to smoke i pulled out a brand new lighter, which so happened to be white. My friend then tells me how it is bad luck to smoke bud with a white lighter, and I'm just kinda like yeah whatever. So i finish smoking and I'm cleaning out my piece and just then it my hand slips and the piece falls out of my hands right onto the freeway. So I guess white lighters really are bad luck...Does anyone have any other stories about white lighters, or even heard of this myth?

In my town, it's always been red lighters..and everyone I know who has used one has coincidentally ended up busted.
I own a few red lighters, and just as many white lighters. I don't see why these myths even exist, to be honest..it's just different colored plastic.

Agreed, and btw; you're avatar looks seriously FUCKED up. Is that your arm?

The idea behind white lighters is that when cops see white lighters, they look or resin or a burnt bottom side because most users use the bottom of lighter to snuff the cherry to stop from wasting.

That makes sense, but you can see that on any color lighter. In fact, I just checked the pink one I've been carrying around (nobody's gonna steal pink lighters), and the edges on the bottom have a nice ring of ash.

And yes, that's my forearm, haha. It looks much nicer now, though, since that picture was about 20 seconds after it was done.

My best friend says yellow lighters are bad luck. Whenever someone gets in the car with a yellow lighter he makes them throw it out, if they don't he will. This is because every time hes gotten busted with weed(3 in total) he had a yellow lighter on him everytime.

Man I haven't heard that in years! I totally forgot about that whole "white lighter bad luck" myth. I wonder what the basis of this myth is? White lighters are only bad luck if YOU believe they are.

You do realize it's only bad luck because you or someone else is telling you it's bad luck..which thereby implements the association of the lighter with bad consequences into your subconscious and finally causes you to unknowingly create the bad consequence just to test the theory?

i'm guessing the color white is easier to see from a distance, that's just me. Matches all the way.

I think it's the belief that it's bad luck is what's making it bad luck. Like, if you start thinking about screwing something up, you're going to screw it up. Same basic principle.
