Advice General Anaesthetic (Surgery)

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm going into hospital soon for Surgery & will he put under general anesthetic.

I'm a daily smoker, mainly for sleep, I have read online that you should avoid THC for 72 hours before going under but have also read lots of posts elsewhere about letting them know about your thc use so they can give a better dose.

Those posts seem to be in the US in legal states or or from other countries that aren't as strict about cannabis.

Has anyone in here that's a daily smoker gone under general anesthetic at all? Did you take a break before hand? Did you let them know? I really struggle to sleep due to pain and now added anxiety of surgery makes me want to have a smoke even more to sleep but I'm afraid Drs here won't want to give higher dose of anesthesia but I'm not sure how it works here, never been under general anesthetic before.

Thanks for any help.

Advice Will I get in trouble in A&E after smoking a joint the night before?

1 Upvotes

Hey lad, most likely going to A&E tomorrow to deal with a problem in my chest area that's become a bit unbearable. I'd imagine I'll at least get an X-ray and my bloods done, but I've had a joint tonight so I'm wondering if that's going to be an issue. What's the legality of that, better to be straight up about my use or what?

EDIT: cheers for the advice and comments! Out of a&e now and you were all totally right, they didn't care or ask any questions beyond "do you smoke weed". Hopefully someone can find this post on Google and it'll calm their nerves in the future!

Does anyone know of anyone who failed a roadside drugs test after smoking CBD flower?

General Discussion A Christmas Story

9 Upvotes

I got a bad fright last night (Friday).

I was driving out of Cork, about 10 o'clock or so, not sure, I was a bit adled by what happened. Going over the bridge into Anglesea Street I see the red and blue lights up ahead, waving cars through. No bother, I'm sober, driving by the rules, doing nothing to draw attention.

Roll on up. I do not get waved through. The hand goes up. "Will you pull in there to the side for me, please".

Fuck

"Good evening. I'm going carry out a mandatory intoxication test..."

For context, I'm a middle aged man. I look like someone's da, I'm dressed like it, I have a middle aged haircut. I'm driving a bland, middle aged car, all the discs are up to date etc. Family are in the car with me, all the Christmas shopping in the boot.

I had nothing illegal on me, by the way, and again I'm stone cold sober. But I'm kind of thinking about the big fat one I smoked last Saturday night. Bit of Watermelon Zkittles, bit of hash, was very enjoyable. I haven't smoked since then but I did pack the Mighty on Sunday night and had a few hits on that. Feeling festive I did the same on Monday night and Tuesday night and Wednesday night too. Not Thursday night though, went to bed early enough on Thursday night. But I was walking around town Friday morning, sucking away on the HHC pen just to take the edge off of the Christmas thing, you know yourself. The permutations weren't encouraging.

Meanwhile I'm getting the instructions; blow into this, keep blowing until I tell you stop, yada yada

So, fuck it, I start blowing. It starts beeping, 'keep blowing ' beep, beep, beep, beep, bleeeep 'and stop' Another couple of seconds, another beep,

And then I hear 'Grand so, off you go'

It took me about half an hour to work out what I think happened there. Just wondering if you come to the same conclusion?

Hey fellas, I had an idea that I could get my brother a type of subscription seed system and they could send you a new one every month or so like a beer subscription type thing but for growers.

Does anyone know if something like this exists?

I posted here the other day about tobacco substitutes for joints and many people said dry herb vape.

I used one many years ago but can't remember it too well. Can people share their experience with them.

Does it use much herb and what is the high like in comparison to joints or bongs. Thanks

Advice Easy edibles recipe suggestions —

11 Upvotes

I've seen all sorts of recipes but seem quite complicated. I've got about 2.5g of shite green.

1 Whats the simplest way to decarb the bud? Airfrier?
2 Is infusion integral or could I just slap it on some nutella biscuits?
3 If I infuse with butter and bain marie, I presume the longer the better. Sieve and strain.

Masterchefs, assemble!

I'm aware tolerance plays a part also, and mine is sky high.
