How would a match burn green?


And this isn't just at the sulfate(phosphate??), I had one match that was 2 inches of bright green, with just a very small inner bit of blue hugging the wood.

Green flames are usually due to copper, though I suppose it could be something else.


Entheogenic

How would a match burn green?

WITCH!

How would a match burn green?

Step 1 : pack green in bowl.

Step 2 : light match.

Step 3 : hold match over green.

Step 4 : inhale.

Crush off the red powder at the end of a normal match stick, make sure it a fine powder.
Then use a bank card to form a line of powder, proceed to snort the powder up your nose.

So, the marijuana is why it's burning green??

The THC molycules are vaperizing n interaxing with the oxygen to create a green flame. The moar you know.

Fail.

In the sense of a pun, yes - by definition.

...the actual answer probably involves trace metals in one of the inks or dyes used, or in the treatment of the wood... but, yes... if you are smoking a bowl, you are, in fact, burning green. ;)

zomg i was high, you guys r jerks :(:(

but seriously, the best answer you can get mah is "Trace chemicals on teh wood?"

Well, this sucks donkey testicle.

Well, you are asking about chemistry on a drugs forum. Sadly the two do not go hand in hand here to the extent they should ;)

the reason your match is burning green is because the company that makes them put copper salts in the tip and the stick of the match. i'm guessing the match is painted, right?

why would you ask that here? this is about drug chemistry and its effects on the brain not compositon/chemistry of matches.
