The White Lighter Curse Stuck Around for a Reason
You’ll never see me with one
A white BIC lighter in your possession is a big no-no.
Toss it.
Bad luck, karma, juju, curse, or myth- it still carries some weight. The pot smokers will agree with me.
You just don’t have a white BIC lighter. It will bring bad luck.
Why would a white lighter be bad luck?
Like many superstitions, the origin is a bit fuzzy.
I read somewhere that ‘The 27 Club’ members each died with white BIC lighters in their pockets.
The musicians who died at only 27 years old were Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain.
Was it a coincidence or a curse that they all had a white Bic?
The other reason comes from the bottom of the lighter. If used to pack down your weed pipe, ash and resin would show up more on a white lighter than other colors.
In a more ‘reefer- madness’ time (or place), cops could see that you had been smoking the devil’s lettuce.
