yeah, so i was smoking a joint today and it, "sparked", like a small explosion. what the fuck was it? i don't thing it was a seed cuz there were no seed in the mix, and there wasn't a popping sound
it was probably a seed. i've had one explode and hit me in the face before during a bong toke lol edit: oh yeah, if it just barely sparked it could be because the bud wasn't flushed properly or it was still kinda fresh.
I have weed do this a few times, most likely reason was the weed was not flushed / dried / cured properly, fertilizer that is not flushed out during the last 10-14 days of the plant growing, can make the bud spark. It is possible it was sprayed with something, but as often as people say that, i have never met a single person who thought spraying stuff on weed wasn't a retarded and worthless endeavor.
i smoked a bowl once without checking it for seeds turns out one was in it and it exploded the bowl everywhere true story
OK- although you can never be certain what happened, I've got a unique explanation to offer. I only say this because you said you were smoking a joint. Did you use the lighter to dry the wet glue on the papers? If so, then you could have seen a flare of some stray flint material. A friend of mine once showed me an interesting trick with a cigarette- He licked the outside of the paper gently to get it wet, then he took a lighter and kept sparking the flint all over the place. Never actually lighting up a flame, but just sparking flint strikes all over the place. Then he gave it a minute to dry on its own. The end result? When he smoked it, here and there, the cigarette would pop and flare like a sparkler. Cool clubbing trick I guess... Anyway- that's why I said it'd make sense since it was a joint, I'd say the same for a blunt too. Both involve some spit and flame work with a lighter. I've seen joints and blunts sparkle when I'm drying them but that's because I always put the flame all over that shit to dry it off. Awwwww shit- now I gotta go grab a butt and do this one... For old times sake... So was it the flint or not? Idunno- +REP for giving me something to ponder -Weasel
