two days ago i went to my dealers place to pick up a beg of meth, i stayed to smoke up and chat. after about an hour of getting spun she ended up offering my some heroin. ive smoked opium many times before but never have i used heroin let alone smoking anything off tin foil. we spent the next three hours smoking both heroin off foil and meth out of a glass bubble. i can spin a bubble well enough on my own, never burning to bowl or getting a harsh hit. but she would lit the foil for me until some other women came and picked up and smoked with us. she had never smoked off foil either so didnt know how. i lit the foil for her and she for me. i got a couple burnt ass hits. the smoke was already pretty harsh but the burnt hits more so.

later that day after coming down a bit i noticed my gums, the tip and under side of my tongue, and roof of my mouth felt burnt in small spots. now i know i didnt burn my mouth of hot food or drink. the burns look and feel like a chem burn, at least i think so. the only thing i can think made this happen would be smoking a speedball mix in such a way. ive smoked more meth in the time sense then, and i know it probably doesnt help. my tongue has only gotten worse, kinda due to the fact i keep biting and scraching the sores on the tip. (i pick at scabs, touch burns and pretty much anything a long those lines. im just that kind of person) and feeling the other sore spots with my tongue and fingers.

i know itll get better with time. i can deal with it, orajel helps. my question is this: are the burns from getting harsh hits from the foil/dope in combination with pretty constant smoking of meth afterwords? is that a normal thing to happen? would a better means to smoke dope or a speedball be to just mix the two and smoke out of a bubble?
 
No it's defiantly not normal. It has probably been a combination of the lighter being too high and the tooter being too close/sucking too hard on the tooter. There is not much you can do but give it time to heal and of course avoid food and drinks that are extremely hot.
 
if its your first time smoking heroin using foil, the chances are your lack of proper technique and as you stated, your burning of the heroin incorrectly, when your supposed to vaporize it. Any oral analgesic is likely a cocaine analogue vasoconstrictor and local anesthetic properties brought on by oragel which I believe is a lidocaine based product that numbs your body from feeling pain that is not normal so you are masking symptoms of a problem. Properly vaping heroin with foil takes a long time to learn how and when done correctly, it should not be causing you internal pain of any kind...

Don't do heroin. Your headed nowhere fast.
 
Damn I wouldn't use 2 hardcore drugs keep it to one if you can. On the other hand though your dealer sounds cool to let you chill and hang out, wish mine did that and wouldn't be so flakey.

like i said i wasnt lighting the foil myself. i did think it was weird that she was using a mini torch to do so, but didnt say anything at the time.. also what you say is very true about going nowhere by doing heroin. ive learned alot about my own drug use in the past month or so. and it is something im working to fix. shits tough though

from what ive seen when it comes to hard drugs like what im faced with, the dealer is never a friend. she was chill letting me smoke her dope for free, yes. but by doing so she was just trying to make me depend more on her for a hook up.. she wants my wallet and nothing more.

thank you all for the replies. i knew it was just bad technique but its nice to get a second or third opinion.
 
Being on meth beforehand could have exacerbated the burn because it dehydrates you and makes the skin very sensitive to damage. It'll heal.

No problem! Like Tricomb said it takes a long time to master the technique, you really don't want to get to the point of mastering it. I have a friend who has been smoking (vaporising) it for 6-7 years and for the last 3-4 almost daily and *still* is terrible at it. I'd say quit while you are ahead, this road does not lead anywhere you really want to be. And yeah, I have a few lovely dealers who will let me shoot up at there place, how nice of them right? Wrong. You are spot on, all they want is your money. If you sit and take your bag there you are more likely to buy one for going away. Also since it's not something you have ever done it was ever more scummy of her to offer it to you! Then burn your mouth by having the lighter far too high... no, wait using a TORCH?! Stupid woman. Hey and I know you said things are tough for you but they will only get tougher if you go there. Good luck. Stay safe. :) (Oh and I apologise for the lack of paragraphs, I do write with them but when I post they seem to disappear when I am using my phone.). ~Bamboo
