| I recently got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled. The oral surgeon gave me a prescription of codein (30mg) and acetaminophen (300mg) (also know as "Tylenol 3"). The pills didn't help enough for the pain, so I wanted weed. If you have had healthy teeth pulled then you know the very intense pain and swelling that occurs for 2-4 days after. The problem was I didn't have any weed to smoke, just a pipe with some accumulated residue. I am used to smoking residue to get through dry spells. All I can say is thank god the residue helped enough over the last few days. The day after the removal of my teeth it helped the most. A few minutes after smoking, the pain quickly dissolved. I was finally able to consume some food because the pain from opening my mouth and chewing was tolerable (practically non-existent). Many argue (especially higher logic) that residue does not contain thc or can get you high. I defintely do not concur with this opinion. I smoke the residue by heating up my piece from the outside with a butane lighter. When a light vapor starts to emit, I inhale. This way I am avoiding re-combusting many harmful materials that are burned by torching or lighting the inside of the piece. The effect is similar to using a vaporizer, although I wasn't vaporizing fresh weed. On a side note, I use weed for other pains and aches with great success. Whenever I have a bad stomach ache the weed helps in minutes. The only things I wouldn't recommend using weed to help are coughs and colds. The smoke irratates the sinuses and lungs resulting in a slower healing time. However, there is an exception to using weed under this condition. If you use a vaporizer or a double filtration bong, the tar and other chemicals in the smoke are reduced enough to make it a sufficient medicine that will make your cold much more bearable. I hoped you gained some more knowlege of how usefull weed and residue can be. After this experience, I cant help but be even more pissed off at the government for denying weed's legitimate purpose as a pain reliever. |

Oh, and be careful not to let your mouth get too hot or dry since you have fresh wounds in your mouth. Keep your mouth moist.

What kind of 'piece' are you using? Just curious. How does the 'residue' high differ from that of fresh material? . . .

| I'm using just a regular glass bowl with a carb. I hold it vertical so the vapors rise straight up the inhaling side rather than out the bowl or carb. The trick to getting a good hit is to take many small hits in one breath (ex. heat outside of bowl until I see vapors coming up the pipe, inhale that bit, wait for more to accumulate, continue the hit, ect..until you are at the end of your inhale). Because my pipe was really strapped for residue I did it this way for maximum effect. With a pipe with lots of residue you could probably get a good hit in one shot. The first usual spot to start heating is directly underneath the bowl. When the vapors from a certain area become less strong, start heating any other part of the pipe containing residue. Just make sure to not put your fingers too close to the area you are heating (p.s. Don't try this on a metal piece. The whole thing will heat up and burn your hand.) The high or effect for me had similarities and differences to smoking regular weed. Similarities First, my heart rate increased to what I usually experience smoking regular weed. Second, numbing of my body (in this last experience "pain relief") was similar to smoking regular weed. It also made me light spirited, gave me munchies (while helping me chew through what was a very sore mouth), and made me feel quite the usual stoned and out-of-it mind state. Differences My eyes didn't get as red as they do when I smoke the usual amount of dank/schwag. I experienced only slight dry mouth (compared to a usual utter cotton-mouth). The high lasted about 1-1.5 hours compared to the usual 2hrs.
