Passing the Glass: 5 Unspoken Rules of Pipe Etiquette
Whether you’re chilling in a low-key circle or hanging out at a late-night session, there is an invisible social contract governing the room. When substances are shared in a group environment, the line between being a welcome guest and the person everyone secretly hopes leaves early comes down to basic manners. If you want to keep the vibe intact and avoid getting crossed off the invite list, here are five essential rules of etiquette for smoking in a social setting.
Tweaker Time Continuum: 5 Legendary Excuses for Being MIA
If you have a friend, acquaintance, or “that guy you know from the parking lot” who enjoys the faster side of life—specifically, the crystalline variety—you already know that time is a relative concept. For the average person, a day has 24 hours. For a tweak, a day can last anywhere from 45 minutes to a week and a half. Trying to get a straight answer about why they are four hours late (or three days absent) is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall. You won’t get the truth, but you will get an incredibly intricate, deeply paranoid, and wildly entertaining story. Here are the top 5 quintessential excuses for why the spun won’t show.

Oops! Wrong number!
This convo starts with a panicked text about waiting and not getting ripped off, since they’ve been waiting for almost an hour. Then a guy in a sheriff vest holding a donut appears in the photo. A blue text follows, saying your dealer was arrested for meth possession and asking if you want a donut, because they’re healthier than meth. The joke lands by flipping a tense crime vibe into a goofy donut punchline you’d text a friend when plans go sideways.
Cop’s “gluten-free meth” joke goes viral on Facebook
NEWARK, Calif. — A San Francisco Bay Area police force made an unusual offer to meth users this week with a tongue-in-check social media post. At first glance, the Newark Police Department’s Facebook page is pretty standard stuff: officers getting awards, a missing elderly person and a report about fallen power pole. But as you scroll down the page, a bit of law-enforcement comedy gold appears. The department offered to test meth to see if it’s gluten-free. The post read: “Is your meth laced with deadly gluten? Not sure? Bring your meth down to the PD and we will test it for you for free!” Since May 4, the post has been viewed 24 million times, shared nearly a quarter-million times and has 9,000 comments. CBS San Francisco asked Newark Police Lt. Chomnan Loth if he was comfortable with the title “social media genius.” “Uh, no,” he replied with a chuckle. “Because I don’t think it’s necessarily genius. I thought it was just funny.” The video player is currently playing an ad. Loth manages the department’s Facebook page and came up with the idea for the post after watching an infomercial about gluten-free diets, followed by a movie about Pablo Escobar, the infamous Columbian drug lord. Loth says he wants to show the public that officers are not emotionless robots. “We’re just regular people just like everyone else,” he said. “Your neighbor, mom, dad, brothers and sisters. And it’s nice and refreshing to see a police department that’s not too serious. We’re able to show the human side of it, and we do have a sense of humor.” The comments have been overwhelmingly supportive, but there were a few that criticized the department. One read, “When you are done trying to be a comedian, maybe you can post some links for people trying to get help with addiction.” To which Loth replied: “Relax, let us have some fun, huh? We have plenty of serious posts.” “We deal with death,” Loth said. “We deal with sad circumstances. We deal with a lot of extraordinary things. You know, it’s hard on us. It’s hard on the community. And sometimes, you need that relief just to be able to crack a smile and to laugh a little bit.” For the record, the police did not receive any takers who wanted to have their meth tested for gluten.

U.S. women arrested for allegedly smuggling $1 million worth of drugs to Japan, one claims she was motivated by free trip
Tokyo police arrested two American women for allegedly smuggling $1 million worth of cannabis into the country, with one suspect claiming she was motivated by a free trip to Japan, an official and media reports said Friday. The pair, both 25, arrived at Tokyo’s Haneda airport from New York last Saturday with two suitcases in which “cannabis-like dried plants were secretly stored,” a police spokesman told AFP. Nippon TV aired images of the drug seizure, showing more than a dozen packages containing the alleged cannabis. Japan has some of the world’s strictest drug laws and smuggling or possession of illegal narcotics can result in a lengthy jail term. The dried cannabis weighed around 30 kilograms (66 pounds) and is valued at about 150 million yen ($970,000), media reported. One of the women told police she took the job for the money and because, “I was attracted by the fact I could go to Japan for free,” Nippon TV reported. The other suspect denies the allegation, telling police she “didn’t know that cannabis was inside” the suitcase, the Tokyo Shimbun reported, citing unnamed police sources. The women “conspired with someone else whose name is unknown,” the police spokesman told AFP. They claimed they received instructions from a man they met on social media but never met in person, according to local media. The pair were arrested “on suspicion of violating the drugs and psychotropics control law, or, smuggling to gain profit,” the spokesman said. They also breached two other unnamed laws, he added. Smuggling cannabis for the purpose of making profit carries up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 3 million yen ($19,500). Last December, prominent American playwright Jeremy O. Harris was arrested in Japan on suspicion of smuggling the psychedelic drug ecstasy. He was released three weeks later.
