The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

Sue, I just had a tooth extracted yesterday, a back molar.....my post op instructions were adamant, no smoking for 1 week so not to create a "dry socket" where the root and nerves are exposed, described to me as the most painful thing to happen to a human on the planet.....be careful and stick to the brownies.....best to be mindful in your healing, but I am a worry wart, sorry.....

Not sure but I think it's tobacco that doe's this Shawnee. I could be wrong but I've enjoyed a joint immediately, right outside the dentist's office every time I've had a tooth pulled.

Actually, it's the suction combined with the toxic smoke. Think sucking on a sutured wound while bathing it in smoke - seems ill advised. :laughtwo:

I did, however, continue to smoke both cigarettes and herb during all my tooth extractions without issue until the last one a few years ago, which caused enough gum swelling to interfere with the new denture. Oops. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Yes, smoking will cause "dry socket". It's the action of sucking in the smoke that does a lot of it. BELIEVE ME you DON'T want to experience that. As Shawnee said, it's the worst thing you can imagine.
:-(

Edit: LOL, read your post after I posted mine Graytail. :)

Thanks guys. I was very careful about the suction. My son had dry socket once and it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Strawberry Blue is an incredibly effective medication. I only had to take two aspirin at about 11 last night and I'm pain-free today with just the brownie.

I feel so blessed to be privy to your worry wart nature Shawnee. :circle-of-love: I don't think you ever need to apologize for that.
 
I'm out with the daughter setting up a new phone plan. I had my brownie right beforehand, about two hours ago. Every once in a while I look up and think

"Damn, I'm stoned!" :rofl:

The last butter I made may have overcooked because I didnt feel anything after ingesting copious amounts of it. So you cant smoke for a while? I had not heard about dry socket, and it sounds like the stuff of nightmare. Im having my wisdom teeth removed soon. Thats a major concern. Can you vape instead of smoking?

Its the suction created from smoking that causes the problem Roach. I simply held the joint in a clip in front of slightly pursed lips and drew. It was no concern. I can't think of how vaping could be any different.
 
How sad to hear about your butter. Do you think it was overcooking or too high temperatures? What method did you use? Just picking your brain to try and avoid the same mistakes going forward.

Hey Sue, as a fellow electrician, I have to also recommend Jack Chain. Cheap and easy.

OK then Cy....another sparky....right on my brotha. Lets keep all the Gang safe with constant reminders of basic safety rules to follow eh!
Nice to meet you btw....bin sparkin since 80's....you? Cheers eh!:thumb:
Hey there Susan....a lil tip....forget all those cable methods....once you use "jack chain" that'll be it ...nothing works better or faster and is cheap , to boot. Just like the
pipe cleaner idea ....gotta love em eh! :blunt: :slide:

I put it in a crock pot on low for 8 hours or so :(

So it didn't decarb properly. In all likelihood not hot enough, although I don't know enough about the temperatures of crock pots. That's just wrong Roach. How frustrating for you and the wife.

I'll be looking into that very soon Duggan - next week, as a matter of fact. Thanks for the reminder
 
HARVEST: Critical Super Silver Haze (Day 78) & Excalibur (Day 78)

I took more pictures on my old phone and then let them take the phone as a trade in without pulling them off properly so these are all I have to offer. Wet weight is included just as a reference for myself. I'm going to weigh them every day to try and get the trend down. I dry in a consistent area with fairly consistent conditions in this hallway. They appear to be usable about three days in. Not dry, mind you, but usable.

Excalibur

I think it's a secret craving of mine to always have something small drying here. Wouldn't that be nice? I think I should be able to make that work out in a perfect world. :laughtwo:

By the time I run out of smokable I'll have enough to make another batch of brownies. I'm running ahead of myself right now and I don't much care. I'm just going to enjoy what I have. It got me through the worst of times and I'll be going cold turkey for a time while I travel anyway. How sad, eh? That I should ever have to be without seems wrong on so many levels.

More pictures to follow. I had a new iPhone to play with. :battingeyelashes:
 
(cough) I'm seeing another dong-shaped harvest from SS (but maybe it's just me...) :cheesygrinsmiley:
