I’ve seen a very similar picture of this a few years back. Happy to see it wasn’t removed but no fucking way I’m smoking out of that …

When you’re a teenager, you take what options you can get.

Pop can, apple, toilet paper roll wrapped in tinfoil, using tap aerator as pipe screen, hot knives on the stove, bottle tokes off the end of a burning cigarette, etc. Lol.

I can see you aren’t a stupid teenager who was just handed a small bud that’s probably ditch weed.

hot knives on the stove,

That first time you get a hash ball and completely waste it because you don’t know how to hot knife… Good times. I mean bad times at the time, but good times.

The pop can was my go-to in a pinch in my teenage years. Wonder if it left any lasting effects… I also recall using someone’s homemade bong made out of a Gatorade bottle and socket, pretty sure the original creator never cleaned it. Good times.

Pen + water bottle until they replaced the metal tip with chrome plated plastic onesa

Apples always worked too

Yeah no way that isn’t filled with dried piss or worse. Nowadays gas stations sell glass pipes, but even if you’re desperate an apple or soda can will do the trick.

You get to look like a Simpsons character. But not really, that’s just your liver shutting down.

No, it really isn’t.

Hepatitis C is transmitted by contact with another person’s blood. You need to be sharing needles, having sex with, or been given a blood transfusion of another person that is infected.

Still gross though but teenagers tend to be gross.

I really hope that isn’t arsenic teated wood. It probably is… Otherwise that’s awesome!

Arsenic can leach to the surface of the treated wood, becoming accessible for absorption through exposed hands and skin touching the wood surface and, especially in the case of children, ingestion through normal hand-to-mouth behavior. […]

Exposure to arsenic can cause cancer of the lung, bladder, skin, kidney, prostate, and nasal passage. Data released in November 2003 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) show that 90% of children repeatedly exposed to arsenic-treated wood face a greater than a one-in-one-million risk of cancer.

Sounds like a great pipe :D

My town set up log fencing along our trails and sidewalks. They would decay so fast, the ranger would have to drive by everyday to check the fences.

They treated the fence the same way you described. They were always tinged green. Kids would run their hand down it, on their way home. Enough kids got sick, that the town noticed.

Did they take down the rotting, poisonous fence?

Nope; everyone just knows not to touch it. They really like that “rustic” look.

I’ve seen this exact picture in memes from half a decade ago! Same angle and everything.

I swear it was from People’s Park in Bloomington, Indiana. I could even tell you who carved it if I wanted to doxx them, which I don’t.

Edit: This is the only photo of it I can find before they renovated it in the 2000s without pictures of friends in it. You can see the bricks are the same even though you can’t see that table.

Looks like something you would see at a disc golf course

Maybe, but the park was sort of converted from a vacant lot, so it was tiny. No disc golf.
