What is white-lighter?

Time to expose the origins of this myth. Back in 1973, when the first Bic disposable lighter was introduced, it was only available in two colors. Black and White. Back then the entire lighter was one solid color, unlike today where no matter the color of the lighter, the bottom is white. So when using a black lighter to smoke pot, the ash from packing the bowl down would not be visible. Unlike the white lighter that would show "evidence of illicit drug use"(that's the excuse the cops would use to detain you). Nowadays all lighters have a white bottom piece, so no one color should be considered bad luck.

Now that being said...I still believe in the White Lighter Myth, simply because the only time I've ever possessed a white Bic lighter I had a string of bad luck. A friend had left a white lighter in my car, so used it to light a cig, not five minutes later I get rear-ended. To add insult to injury my bong was in the trunk and had been completely destroyed by the accident. Get home, grab my other car, drive to my friends house (the one that left the white lighter in my car) and I run out of gas (the gauge showed a full tank). I called my buddy to bring some gas, when he showed up i told him everything that had happened and blamed it all on his stupid lighter. He denied ownership of said white lighter.

White-lighter - what is it?

Bic did not start making lighters until 1973 . All of these people except for Cobain died by 1971. Maybe it was a white lighter but it was not a Bic.

What does "white-lighter" mean?

The idea that Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison had a white Bic lighter in their possesion when they died is a complete fabrication.

The Bic lighter was first introduced in 1973. So unless somebody has a time machine..... this is not how the white lighter myth started

White-lighter - what does it mean?

A white lighter is a magical being in the show Charmed that aired from 1998 to 2006. A white-lighter is a guardian angel for witches and future white-lighters. They used to be special mortals who did great and brave things during life. Their job is to guide witches they are assigned to and protect them, also have them prepared for attacks. They also watch over people who will become white-lighters once their life is over, he has to ensure they die on their at their time or they won't become white-lighters. Most times their assigned witches who are still in infancy, the white-lighter will guard and protect the witch her or his entire life. However White-lighters are not supposed to reveal themselves as white-lighters unless their is urgent need, their witch is supposed to figure it out on her/his own. In the meantime the White-light pose as a friend, teacher, boss, service guy (like handy man, plumber) or if their witch is young and has lost their parents the white lighter may pose as their foster parent.

"Where has that white-lighter gone?"

"Are you my white-lighter?"

Then the white-lighter moved on to his next witch knowing he had done his job.

White-lighter - slang

A white disposable lighter, generally Bic brand, that was either white at purchase or had the plastic wrapper removed.

Generally suspected of causing bad luck by superstitious morons who don't understand that they got in trouble because they smoked pot, not because they used a white lighter to smoke pot.

Stoner without any semblance of logic: "Dude, I hit a bowl with a white lighter and then I got pulled over."

Smart stoner: "Were you smoking while you were driving?"

SWASOL: "Yeah man, I lit up at the traffic light outside the police station."

SS: "..."

SWASOL: "I know, right? White lighters, man. Bad news."

White-lighter

a term describing a follower of a religion, philosophy, or spirituality that preaches things like denial of one's instincts and abstinence from worldly pleasures in order to attain some vaguely defined goal like "salvation" or "enlightenment"(e.g. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and some, but not all, forms of Judaism).

The term is mostly used by Satanists or other (non)spiritualists who believe in indulgence of the flesh. It may be used as an outright insult, a smug dismissal, etc.

"Did you hear? The Dalai Lama is doing a booksigning!"
"Meh. That's white-lighter stuff. Not my thing, man."
