Is this a new thing? Or regional? I’ve known quite a few stoners and I’ve never seen or even heard of tokestones before.

I think it was more an early '70s hippie thing. You still see them around occasionally - if you google, you’ll see references to 'em, like so:

[http://tokestone.com/](http://tokestone.com/)

[Note that it is for “hand rolled cigarettes” 😉]

Yeah, I Googled it before I asked, but I didn’t come up with any links that I’d want to click from work. Including that one. 😃

Hey, it’s only for perfectly legal use of hand-rolled cigarettes. Says so right in the site policy. By ordering from it, you are agreeing to legal use only. 😉

Yeahhhhhhhh, I actually had to get Jockey unblocked as “pornography” when someone in my office was trying to look up corporate information on them. Something tells me the filter will have a problem with that site regardless.

I wish that my neighbor problems consisted of them just smoking pot, and I will trade the OP in a hot second. And then I will go smoke pot with his (my new) neighbors.

I can’t help you with much of this, but I recommend leaving the dog turds in front of your door, frying up some bacon, and pouring the bacon fat on the turds.

Heh, I wasn’t serious. I was just poking a little fun at the legal self-defensive measures taken by a site selling “tokestones”. Obviously, 99% of their clientele is buying them to smoke pot with - but they have to officially pretend that it’s for tobacco only. 😃

Reminds me of a store in my home town called “Homegrown Hydroponic”, which sold indoor growing supplies - and advertised on the local “psychedelic 60s” radio program. According to them, their business model involves selling tens of thousands of dollars in hydroponic supplies to individual folks with a real taste for hothouse tomatoes. And 60s music. 😉

Yes, yes, I got it. I’m just pointing out that my company’s filter is ridiculously strict on the other end of the spectrum. 😃

In other news, I seem to have misplaced my “snuff” inhaler and vibrating prostate wand “for novelty use only.”

Those Borgias. A little bit of napping, drinking wine, or incest and they lose track of time.
