Smoking with the flu...

[Trying-to-blend]

Well, I have some sort of virus, most probably the flu, possibly H1N1(my best friend/smoke buddy is also sick and he works in the hospitality industry and part of his job is to shake hands with EVERYONE he services). The medical aspect of it is covered, no worries there.

But i haven't been able to smoke for quite a while. Any little hit will fucking destroy my throat and coughing right now is painful. I actually got x-rayed yesterday because i thought i had a broken rib, that's how sore my muscles are! Hell, i keeled over in pain yesterday because my whole back and ribcage seized up when i wiped my ass!

So... My friends, how can i smoke?!?!?! This is the only respite i get from this damn illness. It's the only way i can get to sleep. It's the only way i can eat!!!!

Eating isn't an option because of the smell associated with cooking(i use the top of a red_greenery setup, including scrubber, to minimize smell when smoking), plus, i just plain don't feel like cooking, too achy.



sorry for being more rambly than usual, i'm feverish and with a couple darvocet and a cyclobenzaprene(both prescribed, first for anti-tussive and pain relieving, second is a muscle relaxant)

make edibles!

Edit: when i say edibles i mean hash edibles not the normal super stinky smelly kind.

Have you tried vaporizing?

 

[KharmaGirl]

Yeah, if you can't smoke and don't wanna make edibles, vaping is your best bet

no vapeable material, and most importantly, nothing really to vape with. I have some old incandescent bulbs around, but in my condition i think breathing in glass particulate is NOT recommendable, hehe.

Any other homemade vaporizers out there? I think a lil weed would really help. I'm thinking it's actually the pills that are keeping my defenses low... Fucking "modern medicine". The opioids and the benzos to keep the coughing and pain down are relaly not that effective and are much more harmful than a cannabrex pill would be(assuming there is any risk with cannabrex, not saying there is, genki, in case you see this post With everyhting in life there HAS to be SOME risk SOMEWHERE, ya know?)

If you can't smoke, can't cook any herb and can't vape, why not just eat some herb fresh. I've come across some people that wouldn't smoke but would only eat bud (no cooking) and they would be royally high for hours. Maybe you can give that a shot. Sorry for your painful situation and hope you get well soon.

Weed isn't exactly great for fighting off illness, usually makes the sickness stick around longer. But it is nicer to be baked and sick than not baked and sick, but not sick is the best imo.

Whenever I mistakenly thing I've beaten the bug and can afford some BTs--BANG--relapse, worse the second time.

Of course now I'm so habituated that I puff my way through a cold and live with the consequences.

ok, just what makes you think i'm a cop from this post? seriously... It's not like i'm saying "hey guys, i'm sick, can you send me some weed with a return address on the package?"...

Just to be nice, imma wait till you reply to give you neg k...

I'm breaking down and going to the hospital and ask to be hospitalized. I can't keep anything down. i'm living on ensure and pedialyte. Plus, i have a completely loss of taste(as in, i put both sugar and salt on the corresponding areas of my tongue and NOTHING. Got an altoid and while i can feel the strongness, i get no taste at all.)

I'm actually scared, i've never been this sick before :-(

 

[daddy fingaz]

swine flu mate, no one was implying u were undercover!

if u feel that bad u better get yourself sorted out then buddy!!

Sorry, like i said in the +k, my fever is making me stupid.

Fucking fourth of july, almost no doctors at the hospital and shit ton of idiots that fucked themselves up because they were drunk. In the end, i called my doctor and he said that he'd love to give me an order for hospitalization if i'm really feeling this bad, but that it'd be the same as being at home, painwise, and at home is my comfort zone. He did, however, fax over an order for a saline and glucose drip. Happy to say taht after this i can get SOME taste, so maybe the anosmia was cause by anemia. However, i still don't get full flavour profiles, but that may be because my nose is all fucked up still.

He said he's now going to send a test sample to the CDC, because he's never seen someone like me suffering so much because of a flu(he's seen me with an ear infection almost eat clean through my eardrums, he knows i'm not a whiner).

I also asked him about the darvocet and cyclobenzaprine and how long i would have to take em before i started kicking when i stopped, and he said that neither of them have that big a physical addiction potential. which i'm VERY hapy about....

 

[daddy fingaz]

no probs, sorry to hear u felt so bad on 4th July, knock the smoking on the head for a bit and get urself sorted, then u can look forward to a nice smoke when ur better!!

 

[Capn]

Damn dude! I hope you get better. Sounds serious!

i used to make herb puddin
was the shit when i had mono and my tonsils felt like they were gunna explode

just make sure its the real kind of pudding with plenty of fats in there

 

[Trying-to-blend]

do i have to cook pudding myself? or would it be sufficient to mix finely ground weed and let it sit for a while then sieve it? like i said, i really can't cook weed right now, the smell would reach the neighbors.

If alcohol didn't have the possibility of making me vomit right now(and it didn't take so muchtime) i'd make some green dragon.

And the guy that said to eat it raw, errr... right now i just have schwag... I'm DEF not gonna eat that raw.

Ok, i don't know if my cfl's(for actually lighting the room) are acting up or there was a surge, but i just suddenly started seeing brighter, and earlier i had a white out with tunnel vision. I'm going to ask a friend to bring me some mashed potatoes with LOTS of butter. I haven't had any substantial caloric intake in quite a while, but at least i'm not dehydrated anymore.

You know what i'm relaly craving though? human contact, i wish i could ask her to stay the night and just stroke my hair(no ahnky panky, she's lesbo), but i'm not gonna expose her to this. Hmm... speaking of exposure, perhaps i shuold pay my parking ticket now...

Finally, fever is gone! i woke up this morning still feeling congested and achy and whatnot, but at least the fever is gone(meaning full recovery is right around the corner). Still can't smoke, but that doesn't matter as much anymore, i only wanted to self medicate. After all this time without smoking, i'm actually thinking of making a full smoke free month, see how that kicks down my tolerance!
