smoking after others?

I know we all probably do it, smoke with friends and even somerandom strangers to. but i always wonder wtf, this is kinda gross, cause idk where these peoples mouth has been or if they have some kind of std or something to be passed on, i've never really woried to hard up to now, who else worries about this kinda stuff? and is it really possible to pass on shit by sharing?

 

I always take a lighter to the mouth piece before I use it and after I use it with the exception of a few special people.

 

what exactly does that do?

my friend does that when he has no cigs and is smoking butts outta the tray, he says it burns the germs of it.

 

i would figure it sanitizes it some what. Most germs probably can't stand the direct flame...and if it doens't do anything than well it makes me feel better about it.

 

I trust the people I smoke with to not have herpes(well, except that one girl...j/k); and when someone is sick they say something like "Im kinda getting sick, so..." If it's just a pipe then just hold the flame to the mouthpiece for like 5 seconds and that should get it, but if it's a blunt you can't really do this. Most of the time if it's brothers we're each others family so don't really care, but if someone is being a bitch about it I'll roll him up a mini blunt(joint sized) so he doesn't "contaminate" the bigger blunt(s).

 

i'm not scared.
"Take a fuckin' chance bunch of goddamn pussies.Besides, what d'ya think you have an immune system for? It's for killing germs! But it needs practice, it needs germs to practice on. So if you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you're not gonna be prepared. And never mind ordinary germs, what are you gonna do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid shit?! I'll tell you what your gonna do ... you're gonna get sick. You're gonna die and your gonna deserve it because you're fucking weak and you got a fuckin' weak immune system!...
My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalent of fully automatic military assault rifles, with night vision and laser scopes. And we have recently acquired phosphorous grenades, cluster bombs and anti personnel fragmentation mines.

So, when my white blood cells are on patrol reconnoitering my blood stream seeking out strangers and other undesirables, and if they see any, ANY, suspicious looking germs of any kind, THEY DON'T. FUCK. AROUND. They whip out the weapons, they wax the motherfucker and deposit the unlucky fellow directly into my colon! Into my colon. There's no nonsense! There's no miranda warning, there's none of that three strikes and your out bullshit. First offense, BAM! Into the colon you go!"

Pardon me ma'am, have you heard the good news of George Carlin? *giggle*

I trust the people I toke with. When they get sick, I usually just pack something that doesn't involve as much mouth contact like a bong

 

okay, i would totally take that qoute into consideration if my immune sysyem could fight off herpes and aids and shit like that.

 

Well you're not going to get aids from sharing a pipe. If your concerned just torch the bowl end like others said, and if its a J or Blunt either don't smoke it or sack up and take a rip.

 

Okay this is a pet peeve of mine so I will go on to explain..

First off, YES it is kind of nasty, I was never the kid to share soda bottles when I was younger, or pick up food from the floor despite the "10 second" rule, so the same goes for a piece..

I almost always (now out of habit) will wipe the mouth piece with my palm, or give it a quick 'twist' motion inside my palm before I hit it, nobody ever notices and it puts my germ peeve at ease.

Another thing, when using SOMEONE ELSES piece, usually they dont keep it as clean as I do, so when I'm about to hit it staring down that res'd up mouth piece with the tiny particles of hair/lint/dust mixed in, it's nasty, sometimes I'll pass the bowl if I'm even slightly high..it grosses me out that much...

and I know there are a lot of the "fuck it who cares" stoners out there but that's just me...

 

I'm kind of a germaphobe, so sometimes when I'm smoking with stangers I do think that it's kind of nasty.. but I smoke with them anyway, I trust them to not be smoking with other people if they have herpes or something. As for passing on colds and stuff, well I'm always sick anyway.. nothing new to me.

I trust smoking with my friends though, so there's no worries when I'm smoking with them of course.

 

meh i dont rly hav any germ phobia, im nvr rly too careful but i do wash my hands alot. if i knew someone was sick it would depend on what they have and wht im smoking.
if its just a cold and im smoking their bowl or j i wouldnt mind too much depends on the person. if they were sick i would prob roll thema j or sumthin so i wouldnt get sick.

 

The only time I get picky with smoking with others is if they fish lip (That's not the term i use in my circle of friends but for the internet I'll be more respectful)

 

^Ugh, I know what you mean.. I hate that too.

 

There always seems to be one person in the circle that does that too lol. I make it a conscious effort to only touch the end of the J to the dry parts of my lips.

 

I smoked with some dude who slobbed up the end of my pipe. I told him if he did that shit again he can get his own pipe and weed. My pipe was dry as a bone. Violence is not the answer. Non-violent threats are.

 

i do the exact same thing when smoking with a group.
if someone is sick i take the flame to the mouthpiece.

 

I do the same thing, I just feel better knowing that most if not all the germs are killed. But when I get really stoned, I end up keeping the lighter on the end of the piece too long, then putting it to my lips and getting burned.

 

i could care less about germs.... they dont really bother me. im very healthy so my body is very resistant to infections/germs

 

haha. fishlipping i actually like that term better, im gona use it.

it sucks when your smoking a jay/blunt with someone and they hit it and pass it back slobbery as shit, its like ah should i or should i not???? that is the question. but i always say fuck it adn smoke anyway.
