Well, I finally got to smoke again. The orthodontist warned me against trying to drink through a straw, explaining that that would cause a vacuum in my mouth and could potentially cause me to suck out the blood clot and it could start bleeding again. So I figured I should probably not smoke a bowl, bong or joint either. After racking my brains trying to think of a smoking method unlikely to cause a vacuum in my mouth, it hit me: a waterfall bong. So I took a pitcher, a Coke bottle, a bowl attached to a cap I use especially for making waterfall/gravity bongs, and my Swiss army knife and got to work. I had to make a makeshift screen out of a metal thumbtack and a piece of paper clip but I am finally high again. This feels so wonderful after all that pain. I think I might try experimenting with that codeine too.
