mjdx88 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey guys, I just thought I would bitch about my night for a second. I packed my first phunnel bowl with Fantasia Wild Mango, I have to say I was not a fan but that could have been other issues. So I get everything lit up and the coals for some reason arent fully lighting, im using Golden QL which have worked fine in the past. I didnt know they were fully lit till I started smoking because they looked like they did. Then I got this awful chemical taste in my mouth and it just wasnt pleasant. After fixing the coals the taste went mostly away except for what was left over which would not go away. As im getting ready to chuck the bowl all my friends stop talking and kinda look up and I turn around and what do you know? there is annoyed looking cop standing behind me. She asks "what are you smoking?" and my response was "a hooookaah" not even registering that its a cop get. I tell her whats going on, and searches everything of mine outside and I asked what the problem was and she said that someone called in saying we were outside smoking something we shouldnt have been. I told her that was not the case and agreed and left.I chuck the bowl of mango and then get my bowl of turkish delight. I had the same issue with this new coal and not lighting fully, I had to really fight with it to get it going. Once it was going it was alright but after than first bowl I felt kinda sick and the turkish delight just wasnt my cup of tea. It tasted just like it smelled but wasnt going over well so I called it quits, and now I get to clean my hookah.Im done bitching now....this is the kinda session that makes me not want to smoke for a long time. I think all the signs were saying not to smoke tonight too.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupremeOstrich Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 This is precisely the reason i don't take my hookah to the park like I want to. Everyone stands around and smoke their cigs, but the moment I busted out my hookah there'd be 3 squad cars ready to take all of us down and ask questions later.Sadface. Sorry about your bad session. Happens sometimes to everyone I guess =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidge Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 that sucks man. I hate getting hassled by cops. But i wouldn't just let them search me out of nowhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey, she didnt arrest you or search you, so that's a plus. I'd offer her a hit. I hope you get the whole coal situation figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I usually consent to a search so I can get the whole thing over with and back to smoking relatively quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman65 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Two cops rolled up this weekend while I was smoking at a park. They were young guys though and even said how they got a complaint but really didn't give a shit and knew we weren't doing anything fishy. They just checked the shisha tubs and left. Sucks to hear about the QLs though. I wouldn't want to smoke either after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdx88 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah, I think i just got a bad roll of Goldens, I got another roll of them and 2 rolls of 3 kings to try so worst comes to worst I order more. The cop was nice, I knew it would happen sooner or later, what pisses me off is that someone was that big of an asshole to call the cops and say I was doing something I wasnt, even the cop that showed up was annoyed that she had to see what was going on, it was a waste of her time. The cops dont bother me at all, they are doing their job and Im not doing anything wrong. Now if they are giving me shit even after they know im not then thats a different story.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 im currently a level III reserve sheriff and when i go on patrol we get alot of calls about hookahs so i sent out a interoffice e-mail with a link to wikipedia and a few other sources and pictures of my hookah collection to avoid situations like yours and ended up having a HUGE session with 14 deps and a Lt. at my station so mission "spread the good word of hookah" is going as planned so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanneff Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah I dont have a problem with cops being suspicious of hookahs, just like many other people they're probably just ignorant to the culture which is alright since you just gotta educate them. But the thing I do have a problem with is those sneaking creeper bastards who see a hookah and go "OMGZ them boys be smoking a w**d pipe!" and instead of just confronting us and asking us what we're doing they go and call the cops anonymously and in the end they probably still wind up not knowing wtf a hookah is and that we aren't doing anything wrong to begin with.I've personally never had a problem with cops and hookahs though, in fact the only time Ive ever even seen a cop when I had a hookah in public I had a friend carrying it while I puffed and we were walking down a busy street, cop drove by and didn't even stop. Im sure he saw it though, it was insanely obvious but the place we had been smoking closed and we had to leave and the bowl wasn't done so I smoked on the way to my car and we finished it up on the trunk lol.Anyway, that's my random story and $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Still no run ins with the cops yet, I'm sure it'll happen eventually...cops up here are dickheads.As for the coal...it could have been a problem associated to you being outside and them not lighting fully...I've been there before.

mj_b90 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've had sessions like that, its those coals for sure- probably old or just a bad roll. And sucks about the cop, I've never had a problem like that yet. I'm sure it will eventually though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khronokai Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Sounds like a coal issue... I usuallly hold mine with the tongs and blow on it until it's done sparking (QL's) and has enough red around the edges to stay lit. I'd hate to taste it otherwise...PS: The cop thing should be another thread entirely lol. I expect to be... I don't want to say harassed, but that's all I'm coming up with. I'd imagine any cop with a slight dose of common sense would know recognize shisha for what it is. Edited April 10, 2008 by Khronokai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also read the "pinned" thread in this forum. However, I'm used to my automotive forums, here "street racing" isn't to be discussed or talked about, unless you want to bash it. Figured it was the same here. Edited April 10, 2008 by Khronokai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
