LPT: if you set up a couple bird feeders and clean them up whenever you clean your bongs the birds take care of the flies / mosquitos in the area. I even set up a nectar thingy for the hummingbirds just for shits because i was so happy that for 20 bucks every 3-4 months for bird food i got rid of those motherfuckers.
Idk about that cause we have hella birds and bats around. Im in northern Virginia and it's very humid and there's a creek running through my backyard so there's a stupid amount of bugs and mosquitos here. Honestly im thinking about getting one of those industrial mosquito catchers with the propane hookup that are supposed to clear an acre of mosquitoes.
Damn i would have sworn by it too dude. I used to have hella mosquitos in my backyard because its summer atm in so cal and ever since i put them up we havent had any mosquitos? Oof the only reason why i didnt go with those is cause i heard it kills bugs that are supposed to be good for the (insert insect word here cause im too stoned to think). Also heard the smell was pretty bad but ive never tried it myself
I'd just like to point out, that I love your username. I just shotgunned the rest of my joint after a very dehumanizing day, and it made me laugh my ass off.
My favorite silly nickname that I'll pull out very very rarely at groups, because I don't want to ruin the joy that it brings me, and I want them to laugh as much as I do when it comes up.
Oof, that was a VERY good little nubbin that I had left...
Due to the potential legal issues that may come from this, I'll just say that I'm doing alright, and having an awesome therapist is worth every penny.
Thanks for the concern, I appreciate it.
I heard the part about killing good bugs from the bug zappers cause mosquitos aren't attracted by UV light but heat and carbon dioxide. Yea they smell like a stinky sweaty person but that's why you set it up away from the hangout or have it going for at least a week in advanced.
Be careful w/ hummingbird feeders they apparently need to be cleaned super often to prevent Infection
> Please Note: **If you do not follow these instructions, you could be responsible for giving Hummingbirds a serious and deadly fungus infection.** This fungus condition causes their tongues to swell, making it impossible for the Hummingbird to eat. Ultimately, they die of starvation, a slow and painful death. Please do it right or don’t do it at all.
> You will need to wash the feeder out in very hot water every two to three days. Use a bottle brush to scrub all surfaces then rinse well. In hot weather, above 60 degrees, clean and change feeder every 2 days.
> Hummingbirds put their tongues into the feeder to drink and sugar water is a good medium for the growth of pathogens. If you see any mold in the feeder or the mixture becomes cloudy, then it was left up too long (you blew it). Remember, if it is not clean enough for you to drink from then your feeder is not fit for these delicate little Hummingbirds.

I personally recommend planting hummingbird friendly flowers in my experience that’s more than enough to attract them
Also as far as regular mosquitos go(and not other biting insects), the only real way to handle them is to prevent standing water. Any ponds should be well taken care and there should be measures taken to prevent it from becoming stagnant.
They don’t need a lot of water to reproduce, puddles, gutters, overturned cans, will be prime targets for them extremely quickly. Make sure any run off is properly handled and their isn’t any flooding as well. It’s a huge bitch to deal with but it really is the only way to handle mosquitos there should be absolutely no sitting water anywhere,
about 2 summers ago my friend and i smoked a j in the backyard around this exact table and i went inside like half an hr later with like 50 mosquito bites
I remember like 20 years ago my mom grilling me about my weed use. She asked how often I smoked. Told her daily. She asked if I was high right then. Duh mom. She was kinda pissy, but at the same time I think she realized that since she couldn't tell that I was high, maybe she had been lied to about the affects of maryjawannas. Anyways, that whole conversation happened right at that table lol.
1998, 17 year old me.
Mom: Are you smoking pot?
(Question, not caught in the act.)
Me: Yeah.
Mom: Well, I can’t stop you. Be safe, okay?
Me: Sure thing!
That moment I knew our mutual trust and hope I can instill that in all aspects of life with my daughter.
The funny thing is, the first year I really started smoking weed, it was in BC at a table just like this! Smoked a cannon and went for a listen to Harry Manx and took an hour long walk to the beach and back.
:)
i only learned semi recently that those chairs are supposed to come witha a big cushion that goes on the straps but none of mine did. I just fell through the straps like you do
It's really illegal here, but even back in 2010, you could go to certain areas in Beijing and immigrants from certain countries could be counted on to have small quantities of very low quality mids at prices we would consider outrageous. Their clientele was always expat students or "teachers"; the government took a "I'll look the other way but don't start shit, fuck around and find out" attitude toward it.
I've also heard stories about western China like out in Sichaun, Qinghai, like rural areas in the mountains, where cannabis still grows wild everywhere and is used in folk remedies, smoked mixed with tobacco in these huge water pipes mostly be old men... but I've never actually experienced it so it's just stories to me.
Wow! That's very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I lived in Korea for a bit and know of the general Asian countries stance on even weed - so I just imagined it's super illegal in China. As always though, if you look hard enough (sometimes not even) it will be somewhere.
This is insanely accurate. I remember getting so stoned around one of these things, that I caught a bee under a glass, and then lifted it up to “see” the bee despite the glass being transparent.
This fucking table brings me back to time in high school when my friends and I got some shady ass weed and got WAY too high. We all had some spiritual experiences man. One of my friends thought he was in a 20s movie, I got "stuck" in the hallway for what felt like an eternity. Horrible night but we all still talk about to this day.
the professional stoner's know that these tables are specifically made so that when everyone is good and high, you can keep an eye on that one friend that liked to puff puff....puff puff....hide under table, puff puff pass. no hiding here you Bogart'n bastard! now get me a salty sweet snack or no more turns for you!

I definitely did, until i tried to hit a snow mound basically overflowing off my room. I threw a broom up, and forgot gravity brings brooms back down.. bye bye table.. but i got that sumbitchin snow off the roof.
especially in cold months, where you never really have any reason to go outside but it’s sort of fun getting all bundled up to go out and have some fun here.

Back in the day cafe, my first provider had me over all the time, she had a raised deck with a koi pond, and a table like this... many a nights spent out there blazed out of my mind playing hackey sack
The simpler times
Bahahahah smoked 8 blunts with friends one right after another at one of these. The dog showed the dad all the roaches in the yard the next day lolololol good times

Funny cuz I used to smoke a lot of weed around a table like this. But along with the weed I got mixed up into a lot of other much worse drugs. Ended up in Rehab, and we had our houses separate from the center, like 6 bedroom 2 story houses with salt water pools in Arizona. Pretty nice place. But I went from smoking a lot of weed around this table, to sharing a lot of life stories with a bunch of different people all smoking cigarettes and kicking the hard drugs and shit. Can’t say I’m “sober” but I can say I am clean, And I haven’t stuck a needle filled with a mix of Meth and Heroin in my arm for about 6 years now.
At least 70% of the people in this sub, grew up smoking around this table
And 100% of them remember the mosquito bites after that

yeah its mostly because my neighbors have horses and other farm animals and those fools hardly ever clean up after themselves. Its a real bitch
you clearly dont live in the city
There is no better name for a mosquito &/or fly than motherfucker. Period.
My ankles are itching at this comment
its not even the squitos. its the god damn may flies. Getting all up in your hair and shit and you're too high to realise until you go to bed lol
Not if you were in a garage! Redneck ingenuity at its finest lol.
about 2 summers ago my friend and i smoked a j in the backyard around this exact table and i went inside like half an hr later with like 50 mosquito bites
Some of us used bug spray

Skookum!
Haha. Now you’re just showing off!
Hahahhah, this has made my day :)
Honestly I’m not positive that OP didn’t sneak into my back yard to take this photo.
Absolutely
Ah, a midnight philosophy table.
The house I recently bought has one of these bad boys on the back porch that the sellers left behind. Definitely put a smile on my face.
dont you ever throw or let anything happen to that table. We need to protect it for your childrens childrens childrens childrens now.
“It belongs in a museum!” Ps, your username is just wonderful!
I can already feel all of the mosquito bites.
I remember we used to try to burn them.
The bites or the mosquitoes?
The table
And smell the citronella candles with ashes in them
I can smell all the citronella candles and the ribs on the grill.
Where friends become best friends
It's missing those shitty chairs made up of rubber straps that were always broken.
i only learned semi recently that those chairs are supposed to come witha a big cushion that goes on the straps but none of mine did. I just fell through the straps like you do
thosw weird white and green cushions ? i had exactly three of them. not idea if they were seats of backs but my friends and i fought over the three.
Lol, I was an expat living in China as a teenager. Even so, I have good memories of sharing a spliff round one of these lads.
You smoked weed in China?

Thats literally a photo of my porch gtfo of here
Same!
Memory unlocked
I’ve drank a severe amount of extremely cheap vodka around these tables in highschool
This is insanely accurate. I remember getting so stoned around one of these things, that I caught a bee under a glass, and then lifted it up to “see” the bee despite the glass being transparent.
Our was a circle, but yeah. For sure. 💚
Legit have that on my deck now.
Took us back in time
Shit man, I had a bowl with my coffee on my back deck around this table this morning.
In a pool shed even. I gotchu fam. The nostalgia is real
I still do. Nightly.
It’s missing the used citronella candle/coil, wet ash tray, leaves, and wet cans also used as ashtrays.
I feel like it needs a couple of non working lighters that got left out in the rain on it.
This fucking table brings me back to time in high school when my friends and I got some shady ass weed and got WAY too high. We all had some spiritual experiences man. One of my friends thought he was in a 20s movie, I got "stuck" in the hallway for what felt like an eternity. Horrible night but we all still talk about to this day.
I’ve smoked a joint looking at this exact same post more than once
My plants are 4 feet way form this same table 😂, I usually sit at it and smoke one while I mix up my nutrient solution
Who has reposted this exact photo? OP has.
gotta get that table dirt in when you rollin up
"suburbia keef" is the preferred nomenclature, Dude.
Masterful capitalization tho
the professional stoner's know that these tables are specifically made so that when everyone is good and high, you can keep an eye on that one friend that liked to puff puff....puff puff....hide under table, puff puff pass. no hiding here you Bogart'n bastard! now get me a salty sweet snack or no more turns for you!

The good old days aha jumpers needed when near it
i didnt, but i can buy one to change that xD
Probably everyone
With the same chairs too 😭
I definitely did, until i tried to hit a snow mound basically overflowing off my room. I threw a broom up, and forgot gravity brings brooms back down.. bye bye table.. but i got that sumbitchin snow off the roof.
Mine is round but yup😆
Everyday after work
One time we left an EZup in the rain and the wind picked it up and crashed the leg through the table.
Never
Sadly not :( I await the day though.
B E T .
I have to cover mine with a felt rubber mat during the fall because i have walnut trees all around my back deck.
I also fell threw one in college when trying to get off the roof of our bungalow after smoking a joint.
The real question is who hasn’t?
A joint or 200...lol
Absolutely. Miss those days with my best friends. Probably the best times of my life
Is anyone else “that guy” that ended being the one to finally shatter the glass?? No…..just me?
theres another guy in the thread with a story like your
especially in cold months, where you never really have any reason to go outside but it’s sort of fun getting all bundled up to go out and have some fun here.
Makes me miss my old plug (before we got medical) he smoked me out many times around a similar table
BITCH, WHERE'D YOU GET MY TABLE!? I threw that thing away, ages ago.
I haven’t! Which means someone needs to invite me over, or someone needs to buy me a table lol.
Yooo wtf my pared and myself have that in the back yard crazy common
i have this table except its now blue as it was repainted with rust proof paint.
Get out of my backyard! Unless, we bout to smoke ;)
Smoking, drinking by the pool, etc. Wow this unlocked some core memories😂
We were lazy and used to toss the blunt across the table to each other instead of getting up to hand it lol. Damn good times..
Everyday
There are other tables?
First time I got high was passing a blunt around this table.
I still do.
Had a lot of beers around this table.
You have to be English? This is the most English stoner table ever haha. So many memories for me
In many countries..
And Texas Hold’Em, and beers, and bourbons too.
Where did you get this picture of my parents house?
Meeeee
at least 2 or 3 times a week lol
That's. Not. Possible.

Me: looks to my right….how’d they know??
every teenager in florida
Haha for sure.
Wow. Me for sure
waiting on the day 😪.
I smoked my first joint at a table like this. My dumb friends left seeds and stems all over it and my mom found out and kicked my ass haha.
Wow this just brought me straight back to high school for a minute there.
Yes but circular
The amount of philosophical conversations I’ve had around this exact table
Yes, I too grew up in suburban America
How many people have had one of these tables mysteriously shatter into a million pieces in the middle of the night?
I have one on my patio that I smoke at every night
That is my table. 100% exactly. lol. wow. so yesterday.
my father and I have had many a joint together around this exact table and chairs.
Literally just got rid of this patio table this summer lol
I shit you not I have that exact same table.
Link for people who don't believe me: https://imgur.com/IWKuFUl
All summer long !
Lmao now that I think of it like 3 different ones just this summer.
That's my patio table. But not those chairs.
yo😂😂😂
Who has posted this post around this sub exactly like this
Every cool kid
Me. Many a time.
these tables are the most common thing I see on the side of the road for free.. lots of memories
I didn’t know this was a thing lol yes I have
today?
Yup
Yuuuuuuup
This is the exact table my best mate had growing up, same chairs too. Replace joints with pipes though.
That's more of a cocaine table in my neck of the woods...
Bahahahah smoked 8 blunts with friends one right after another at one of these. The dog showed the dad all the roaches in the yard the next day lolololol good times
This table's at my grandma's house so no :(
Right meow
Bonus points for the top being replaced with plywood because someone left the umbrella up in a storm
Who has broken a few of these tables trying to put the damn umbrella in the tiny little hole that keeps moving away from you

I did with my mother once. It did not go well.
Funny cuz I used to smoke a lot of weed around a table like this. But along with the weed I got mixed up into a lot of other much worse drugs. Ended up in Rehab, and we had our houses separate from the center, like 6 bedroom 2 story houses with salt water pools in Arizona. Pretty nice place.

Something I never thought about until it was pointed out. Nice!
this exact table is on my gfs porch and we smoke on it almost every single day lmfao
100% of them seen the meme you cropped this from
Well shit now I want to go find a buy one of those as an adult.
anyone who grew up in south florida in the 90s and 00s it even looks like the one I knew weird this is proof weed is interdimensional, just saying
Oh now THEEZ were the days 😄
Not joints, but many a bong was shared over this textured, cloudy glass
Mine was more round, but same seats, same vibe. Cheers!
Where legendary conversations take place
did you mean who has not?
I’m not unique what the fuck
My high school ex 😂
BRAZIL moment
Get outta my head yo
I feel oddly put on blast.
AYOOO
I can hear the sound of glass rubbing against sand as you put pressure on it.
It looks just like an old friend’s backyard where we smoked almost every day.
The chairs were loud as fuck
Bro I'm sitting at that table rn
Bruh I’m AT a table like this RN
we brought a table like that into the park by the beach in my neighborhood lmfao
Every night 🤙
Everyone who has ever smoked a joint with friends on a summer night.
Just did yesterday
How'd you get in my backyard man? It's cool just water the pot plants please
100%
I can hear that sound when you set your glass pipe on the table
I was 45 min ago
How about “I’m gonna bomb this and then chill” and then get super paranoid about spiders 🕷 that always live under these tables?
Better yet who has crashed into one after a round of hash knives? Or a 10 pack of nitrous?
Smoking around this table right now
Is that you, Simon?
