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

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.

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.

I’d love to know what you are actually trying to achieve.
Hey Grandma I 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.

Oxygen isn’t flammable.
It just helps other things become ashes faster.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Good point.
Gonna blaze up next to an oxygen tank now.

Meh. Not enough fuel to O2 to cause any real issue even if the tank was purging for hours in a mostly closed space.
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Inside the tank maybe. Outside the tank almost certainly.

Must suck living in a place that doesn’t have legal weed. Fuck prohibition.

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.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Well why do you have a dram every night then
echodot@feddit.uk 3 days ago
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.

Did you have a bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?

drinking one glass of whisky
To be fair, medical professionals generally triple or quadruple patients’ reported alcohol consumption.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 3 days ago
And when I say dram, i mean dram. I use a jigger, pour one shot and that’s it.

She’s just going for stitches. They wouldn’t have surgery for that.

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.

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.
