Thanks. I should have added that these are merely jokes, and I always follow-up with the right answer. This was the doctor’s assistant asking me, so I made a little joke, which made her laugh. “Moderate” is always my final and truthful answer.
I saw this on some gourmet cooking show or other I watched years ago: the host was displaying one of those absurdly large wine goblets, and said “This is what you use when you tell your doctor you only drink one glass of wine a day.”
“Okay, so… multiple unlocked guns, some of which are loaded AR-15’s.”
You really should get a dry herb vaporizer.
I don’t like vaping, I like smoking.
I always bring it up because I agree that sucking hot smoke deep into my lungs isn’t the best thing in the world. I’m smoking less weed than when I smoke tobacco, but I assume the pot smoke is harder on my lungs because it’s unfiltered.
There are people like me who love the old ways. I’ve used many different vaporizers (Volcano, Puffco, Pax, Firefly) and they all work fine. I’ve also played around with a rig doing dabs. Again, wonderful.
But my go-to everyday tool is a pipe. Be it glass, clay, or silicone with a glass bowl insert (my current favorite). Of course, when out and about I vape live liquid resin oil. Mmmmm.
ETA, yeah, what JaneDoe42 said.
I get asked if I drink at doctors, chemo and radiology appointments. I always answer truthfully that I don’t and get a hard “we all know you’re lying” look in response. I’m not.
“Doctor”?
“I can’t remember.”
Which is completely true – I drink so rarely that I honestly can’t remember the last time I had one.
It’s considered rude to do so, unless you offer the bottle to the doc.
I get it.
Yes, i know several of them!
I guess i was lucky. Tobacco started to make me sick, which made the switch easier.
Due to a liver condition I’m not supposed to drink at all, so I’m honest about my non-drinking. In fact, just yesterday I had an appointment with my liver doctor and checked with her on my options since I’m going to be going on a trip soon which will include my attending a number of parties. She confirmed what I had feared: absolutely no alcohol, except maybe a sip of champagne if I’m expected to toast something.
Your way is probably smarter and better for me though.
I’m thinking that because I was a life long tobacco smoker before quitting a couple of years ago…I’m self conditioned to want the mouth feel of the smoke.
When I entered the military, the entrance processing guy asked when was the last time I had any drugs or alcohol. I responded “what time is it now?”
Guy was not amused.
I neither drink, nor smoke, nor do drugs.
When asked about it, I occasionally say, “My vices are caffeine and cholesterol.”
“I’ll let you know when I’m finished.”
“I have no idea. I’m usually stoned when I drink.”
“You mean in general, or just when I have to see you?”
“The same as most people. I try to stay hydrated.”
“It depends how long the drive is.”
“I haven’t stopped long enough to really count.”
How about don’t be a smart-ass to someone who is just doing their job?
mmm
Nah. That’s no fun.
(Sorry, Doc. But I’m using one of Sam’s lines next time you ask. Just a head’s up.)
I can honestly say that it’s been so long I don’t remember what it feels like.
Having said that, yeah, the only wrong answer is the one that misleads us.
