smoking with a newly acquired tongue piercing?

[Redred]

greetings,

I have used the search engine but couldn't find anything so if there are already threads answering my question feel free to redirect

i am aware that it's probably not a good idea to smoke weed within the first week or two with a tongue piercing, but a few of my friends did so and were fine,

it's the holidays here and i don't really want to wait, does anyone have any personal experience with smoking weed within the first week or two with a tongue piercing?

I really don't see how it could be a problem. Why create a problem now that is waiting to smoke weed. When there probably won't be a problem in the future from it, but if there is a problem it's better than being a problem now and has less of a chance of manifesting itself as a problem!!

You don't see how smoke in and around an open wound in his/her mouth could be a problem?


OP: Personally, I wouldn't do it, but it's all about how much of a risk-taker you are. Either you'll be fine and nothing happens or you could get a pretty nasty infection on one of the most important parts of your body, and infections don't always end with antibiotics fixing everything up nicely.

Pff infection bobection shoshmection, man. Why you always hate on me Jibult, it's likely that nothing is goinna happen from some weed smoke being around a tongue with a piece of metal in it

i asked a piercer friends opinion and she said as long as i use the antiseptic spray after i smoke and try to avoid tobacco it should probably be alright.

i'm going to try it presently and will inform if tongue falls off

He wasn't really "hating on you" at all, but this is a harm reduction site and you gave some pretty awful advice.

To the OP: Like Jib said, if you choose to smoke, you risk an infection. You'll probably be fine eitherway, but that still doesn't make it a good idea to not wait.. I smoke pretty much everyday, and I would personally give it a few days at the very least before I smoked again. In reality its just a dumb risk that could easily be avoided, but I could pretty much tell from you first post you were gunna do it anyway so good luck.

That seems like pretty solid advice. But if you really wanted to avoid complications why not just eat your smoke instead.

lol @ winner and Jibult, good stuff

Haha, I hope your tongue stays where it's at.

Just curious, did you ask your friend why tobacco smoke should be avoided but pot smoke shouldn't?

I'm sticking to Psychedelic Disscusion, Cannabis Disscusion has turned into a messy forum with no mods, and just abunch of threads with flaming, talk about munchies bongs and blunts.

By the way, I'm not a retard, I didn't take so much DXM, I was taking small ammounts for my cold/flu, I entered what I would call a psychotic state from smoking weed+probably those small ammounts of DXM+30 hours sleep deprivation+a hectic mindstate. I have no want or need or intention of bragging about a single thing, let alone me going mental, rather asking for help. If that's really how you feel about those posts I made in that dxm thread, you must be the fucking retard. Also- PD helped me with that problem and helped me elaborate and answered my questions, unlike anything I've ever asked in CD.

See, you're getting it mixed up again. I said that what I didn't say was that you were a retard.

You really should learn to take a more literal meaning from what people say on the internet. This forum isn't like the Lounge where everybody's trying to be all sarcastic and witty.

Thats because there are no active mods, give it time.

I recall The Emperor Wears No Clothes writing something about infection. It mentioned that Czechoslovakian studies found cannabis did better for treating any disease or infection previously treated by terramycin. I would suppose this implies disinfectant properties which you could benefit from but as far as negative consequences, I haven't found anything detrimental from open wound cannabis smoke exposure. I have also read about cannabis oil extracts helping wounds recover faster.

I can see how ingesting pot can help people medicinally, but I don't see how ANY kind of smoke in an open wound can be beneficial.

In reply to jibult, the friend that i asked just said that that was what the senior at her workplace had told her, so i don't really have any actual evidence that marijuana would be more or less harmful, apart from the fact that cigarette packets scream "over 40 harmful chemicals are ingested etc." And i agree that smoke of any kind is probably a bad idea.

I had a few cones and then became a little paranoid and made leary biscuits haha

Also, no idea whether it would have any difference whatsoever but it was bush and not hydro. Does this necessarily mean less chemicals?

cover the wound with a thin slice of cucumber and smoke carefully so the cut doesn't get submerged in smoke. normally, saliva would wash bacteria and toxins out of the cut but since smoking herb generally leads to cottonmouth it's best to have some sort of wet protection on the cut until you're finished smoking, then rinse out with salt water to keep potential infections at bay.

so i see. unfortunately, cd has always ranked rather low in priority for the bluelight bureaucracy. the emphasis has always been to 'save lives,' which has, from my point of view, always lead to reorganizing the more problematic subforums to near discombobulation while cd is left as it was to suffer the lesser issue of teenagers freaking out because they did something stupid first and started to worry about it second.

as you can tell by now, the cd mods have never been given adequate attention or control to address the issues that longed to be addressed in here which means that it's up to the regulars to ensure this section does not continue to dig it's own grave. the ideal way to do that would be by a) not carrying on redundant arguments, b) encouraging serious topics of conversation instead of taking them all to icmag where they doubtless receive only the kind of attention they deserve, and c) posting more while sober than high. it does make a difference.
