smoking a joint in space

[Case Sensitive]

what would smoke look like in zero gravity?

[47 47 47]

Ignoring the physical improbabilities....

I think it would stay more condensed/together. And it would obviously shoot away from you as you exhale. I bet ghosting would be SWEET!!! Just a ball of smoke sitting there

[Retard Synrdome]

Most likely like a nebula. They're pretty much gases suspended in space.

[Trix Are For Kids]

Fuck, this is dumb. Great fucking topic though, I've really never even considered it before, probably because I'll never be in space.

What would it be like? I'd imagine impossible.

Pretty appropriate

[unstableasatable]

just a reminder if you do ever get to do this.
youll need to be inside to get it lit (no oxygen). or in your helmet but then i guess you wont see any effects.

[Legend]

The smoke may fly away from the burning material/lungs as it acts like a gas and fills the area. The compartment would fill with smoke.

I have reoccurring dreams of me smoking a joint on the top of some mountain peak covered in snow... it's above the clouds and all you can see is darkness because it's so high up or something. Weird.

maybe its just night

[felonious_monk]

imagine smoking a strong indica while floating in a space shuttle or something. it would be like being weightless while being weightless

EDIT: if i ever get to go to space, i'm definitely going to sneak some tincture or something with me so i can see what it's like. it most be the best feeling ever

[Gould]

My guess would be (assuming you're in a ship of sorts... outside there's no oxygen so you couldn't even get the thing lit) that once you blew it out the propulsion would push it a fair way away until it came into contact with a wall or some other object at which point it would break its initial shape and sort of form a blanket along the wall and sit there before slowly dissipating into the other gases around.

Now, to further that question, would it be easier or more difficult to blow smoke rings?

[felonious_monk]

actually guys, my guess is that it would look exactly the same if you're in a space ship. smoke hardly weighs anything anyway so what you see here on earth would probably look exactly the same in a space ship in space.

Why would u want to get high if you were already high?

I'm sure something could be worked out...

You'd really waste precious oxygen to an open flame? Durr shit's getting dumb in here.

how much oxygen do you think a tiny little flame is going to use?

[NamelessNom4d]

Vaporize that shit in space!

God damn you're stupid


I'm going to contact NASA and see if anyone has done this

[tariel]

I don't know what would happen to the smoke, but you'd probably set yourself/something/everything on fire as they have a higher oxygen concentrations on space stations and things like that.

Also, I don't know if convection currents would be affected by gravity, but assuming there ios an air current in the container this will spread the smoke out.

Well it's not smoke and not really close to the topic

but here is gas (alka seltzer) + Bubble in space

I don't know, but I've always wonder why for if instance you were on a plane...which is travelling pretty fast, and you drop something such as a penny, why does it fall directly below the drop point...if the plane is moving, wouldn't the penny drop the distance in which the plane traveled during the point from when you let go of the penny, and when it hit the ground?

Because physics is a lie perpetuated by Satan and his servants to pull the weak of heart and faith from the glory and grace of God

Only when you are accelerating i think..

It's travelling the same speed as you. So reletive to you, it looks like it drops straight down but relative to outside it has moved horizontally.

Do I have to be high as fuck to understand this, cuz i don't get it at all....I mean the penny will fall to the ground at some point, but it will not hit the ground at the exact place from wherever you let it go from the moving plane. The penny is still moving as fast as the plane for a short period of time, but dropping to the ground also. Gravity and the Acceleration might be some key words you might want to read on....I dunno though, like i said i don't understand what you were writing there above

No, you pretty much answered what he was getting at, which was will it fall straight down, or will the momentum of the acceleration of the plane cause the penny to move slightly. He thought it would fall straight down.

Theoretically it should fall straight down, but due to the plane being there it probably never actually would. Once the penny is out of your hands the momentum of the plane should have nothing to do with it. It's the variable of how much your hand or the air under the plane moves that fucks the whole thing up.

It's similar to pulling a tablecloth from underneath a glass of water. Of course if the tablecloth wasn't there and the glass was dropped on the table it would fall straight down. But something moves the glass even just a little and it might be out of place.

The idea here is that gravity pulls straight.

A quart. lol jk you're not even taking into account the fact that the cherry of the joint would also be continually stealing air from you and your crewmates. Don't think it would go over dawg.

[Legend]

Bitches don't know bout inertia, momentum, or relative movement.

I'd probably just take some brownies up or a stockpile of thc infused suckers...

yeah gravity pulls straight but do you know how fast airplanes go??? The penny is going to travel a while before it starts falling straight down. Kinda like when you throw something, it doesn't just fall straight on the ground, it goes forward first.
of course not to mention, it depends on how high the plane was but there would be tons of wind and stuff on the way down that would affect where the penny lands

lol how much air do you think a cherry needs??? like not even a whole breath of air

And thats unusual why?

The smoke would crystalize in your lungs, even in your spaceship, hopefully it has the same gas radio as real air on earth or blammo!!!

[kervin]

it would pretty much look the same, heat would push smoke upwards away form the end of the joint, i doubt you would be able to tell the difference

Why are you trying to measure air? Besides, astronauts can't smoke weed because they have to be of peak intellegenge, aptitude, and etc.

[Rude Louis]

If you want to know the experience of getting high in space, find a nice 20ft. pool.

Inhale, jump in, exhale.

[RealGangstaAssNigga]

Just to clear things up on the penny-dropped-from-a-plane debate going on here:

While on a plane moving with a constant velocity, with the penny in your hand, the penny is moving with a roughly-horizontal velocity equal to that of the plane. As soon as you drop the penny from the plane, the penny starts a downward acceleration due to gravity, and a horizontal deceleration (an acceleration in the direction opposite to the plane) due to friction in the air.

So, when you drop the penny, it accelerates straight down in the vertical plane and accelerates in the opposite direction of the plane's travel in the horizontal plane. The penny will eventually fall at a point on the ground between the projection of the penny's drop-location on the ground and the projection of the plane's current location on the ground. The reasoning is that the penny has a large initial horizontal velocity when it is dropped. The deceleration is a function of the horizontal friction force experienced by the penny while falling.
