Hi all. I’ve been lurking and haven’t really found anything that has helped my particular situation, so I thought I’d finally come out and ask myself.
I’ve been blind in my right eye since birth. The “since birth” part is important. I’ve been a daily Mary Jane smoker for years; but just met crystal a couple of months ago. My husband used to partake frequently, so he’s been my guide. He’s tried to help me, but mostly he has to put my flame where it goes. I’ll be holding it where I think it should be, and he says “you’re nowhere near it.” I move it. He says, “now you’re farther away.” ?
I often have real trouble heating my pipe evenly. The hell of it is, I don’t know I’ve fucked up until my stuff is burning up. I think I’m hitting it with the fire, but I’m nowhere near it, or I’m hitting a part of the bowl and getting it too hot, so my shit burns up when it gets there. I usually do ok with a bic, since I can see the reflection of the flame, but even with that sometimes I fuck it up. Ive asked on other forums in other sites, and tried some ideas. None of them really worked, but I’ve tried:
exclusively using a bic or other “flame” lighter. This helps some, and at least if I torch the shit I’m not losing half the bowl all at once like with a torch. I still seem to heat unevenly though, and I’ll roll the puddle and see it just go SSSSPOOF!
Fixed lighter. I hot glued a bic to a plate. I found it difficult to keep lit, and I like to hold it over my head to see, so it wasn’t working either.
Haven’t tried: using a mirror. People have suggested this, and I sort of tried it, but I felt even more disoriented than usual. I was also afraid I’d spill. I’ve done tfat a time or two. So I’m not sure what the mirror is supposed to show me.
Will not try: snorting, iv, or the ass thing. I’ll eat it, as a matter if fact I have some I scraped out a bowl I fucked that I’m planning to try ingesting this weekend.
Any other ideas? Remember I said “blind since birth” was important? Lots of folks have said “if I close one eye I can still do it.” That’s because you know what it looks like. I have no memory of binocular vision. I don’t even really know how what you see is different from what I see, except y’all can tell how far away things are. ??
? I get frustrated and don’t even want to smoke because I feel like I’m setting money on fire.
