if your passing a bowl around and your that "noid" about it. just flame the mouthpiece with the lighter for a few seconds, and burn off any hitchickers. then just wipe and hit. anyone with half a brain will not be offended. ive shared a bowl with my girl when she had the flu, and we just flamed the mouthpiece and i never got sick at all.. dont know if im just superman or it really works but its worth a shot.

hey whats that on your lip???

best aswer. I do this all the time if Im smokin with people besides my girl, one of my partners acted offended and I just said I aint tryna taste the pussy he been eatn. Most of my folks know me as an asshole so I have no problem bein blunt about it, damn serious too.

wipe the mouthpiece before you hit it,

and wipe the mouthpiece after you hit it...


some people get offended if they see you wiping/flickering a lighter across the mouthpiece... so wipe/flicker it clean for them so they can't feel so bad...

i always wipe the bong lip or bowl mouthpiece before using when charing with friends, as I know they share with others and i don't trust their judegement all the time.

blunts and j's are another matter as the slobber gets on them. You can't really cut the last 1/2" off the back of the blunt every time you use it to have a dry start. If you flame it, you risk lighting the wrong end and forcing everyone after you to suck ashy paper or leaf.

Any glass blowers want to make a glass cone that can hold the joint/blunt? I guess that would kill the 'disposable' aspect of them though....Maybe just roll a cone of cardboard and put it around the end of the blunt/j when you hit it. If someone asks, just say that you don't want to slobber all over it.

ROFL, please tell me you're joking?

This thread is classic, like someone else said, almost everyone has herpes A i think it is? cold sores=herpes simplex...

but as for the other type of herpes, like knotty said, my pipes have never touched anyones mouth with a visible herpy, or genitals, that i know about.... :shudders:

I only wipe off a bowl if the person that hands it to me slobbered on it, or if i accidentally do on rare occasion, either way its a pretty discrete wipe of the mouth piece...
 
^This thread is the reason man invented fire.

Smoke with good friends or alone. Bring your own piece if you're really noid. Don't let anybody hit it. It's ok to be a dick about a piece that costs 400$ just tell them you don't want to risk them breaking it and having to pay for it. I have many Kevin Powers pieces and only person that hits them is me. I would kill somebody if they dropped one of them. J's and Blunts are different. But hey, you're a big boi now...roll yourself a fatty.

Yeah, that's what I do when I'm smoking around people I don't know. Sometimes I'll get odd looks but then I explain it and just say I'm a clean/germ freak.
