That's a great way to get zero pain killers for the rest of the trip.

Waking up during surgery be damned, I will never admit to smoking pot to another doctor.

    Agreed, one time I admitted to doing dummies a couple times during my yearly physical and basically got scolded and judged. Last time I tell doctors about drugs outside of an emergency.

    In college I arranged a co-op at IBM. They made me take a drug test which I failed (for marijuana). A person from IBM's HR called me and said literally "you need to clean up your act" and they brought me in to do the co-op anyway. I have no idea what the fuck that was all about.

    I also got pulled over for speeding one time and the cop smelled the joint I had been smoking. Luckily he let me go with just a speeding ticket, but he made a point of scolding me -- not for driving while high but because I was 49 at the time. He told me it was time for me to grow up. I was seriously enraged by that but of course I kept it to myself.

    I was in the process of getting a new doctor (general) and said I had a dram every night. She asked if I drank to numb the pain (no idea what pain she was speaking about) and that was the last time i saw her.

    No one's getting drunk off one glass of whisky. So drinking one glass of whisky is not indicative of any psychological problem.

    That's like asking somebody if they're sad because they had one bowl of ice cream.

    And when I say dram, i mean dram. I use a jigger, pour one shot and that's it.

    Lighting the lighter in an enclosed space that probably has oxygen tanks is definitely not a good idea

    As a dumbass kid, I lit my grandmas oxygen tube on fire. It was wild; oxidizers are no joke.

    "wild" is certainly one way to describe it

    It wasn't that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.

    If the flame reached the tank, there wouldn't have been an immediate explosion, no fuel, but the oxygen getting everywhere could have gotten your house much closer to burnt down.

    I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn't believe in fire retardants back then.

    I'd love to know what you are actually trying to achieve.

    Hey Grandma want to get blown up, it's the hot new trend.

    I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn't have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.

    Meh. Not enough fuel to O2 to cause any real issue even if the tank was purging for hours in a mostly closed space.

    I had a leg break which required hardware to be installed. I told the doctors that I smoked weed and they still gave me the "good stuff". This was even at a Catholic hospital (gross), but I'm in the PNW so maybe that's why.

    As regular user, u don’t even have to smoke one to me more resistant, always tell your doctor about your medication, even if natural self medication 😊

    Appreciate the concern. But, no, I'll pass. I honestly believe the last couple times of being open and honest only got me worse service. So until I start having bad experiences from not saying anything, that'll be my policy.
