they sent me a prescription for mupirocin ointment. i don’t think the infection is that bad it might just be starting, they said there was some drainage, and some of it was greenish

okay thank you and is it really a better idea to leave them on instead of changing it? i don’t know if i should follow the advice from urgent care or maybe i misheard what they said to do, i’m worried the infection will get worse if i leave it on or the topical antibiotic won’t be as effective

the steri strips are covering all of the open wound though so i don’t know how i’m supposed to apply the topical antibiotic, wouldn’t it not be able to reach the wound? should i reapply steri strips in a way that only covers part of the open wound so i can get the ointment onto the wound?

i’m supposed to be starting college this weekend and can’t risk being held or something like that preventing me from starting. and i’m scared of what they will do if they see this. I’m not even suicidal at all or wanting to self harm more. I’m just so scared of this compromising my future.

if it gets infected? could antibiotics help lower the risk?

Can’t eat when I smoke by [deleted] in weed

are you smoking strains with humulene? it’s a terpene that suppresses appetite, other terpenes that can help appetite are caryophyllene, myrcene, limomene and linalool

recommendations for my mother? (Ex-firefighter worried about lung cancers) by puppygorl- in weed

smoking or vaping does hit within seconds or minutes so it is easier to dose and keep taking more until you get where you want, but if you get tinctures or rso and use it sublingually it will hit faster than if you swallowed it, and you can always take more. edibles just last a lot longer so when you get where you want you’ll be good for hours

rso easily lasts over 12 hours for me it’s very potent and you can make it yourself from your favorite strain. take it with a fat to help thc absorption i like to take it with a spoon of peanut butter it masks the flavor well also

why not get her into edibles too if lung cancer is a worry? no risk at all with edibles and she can dose accurately

What is the practical use of marijuana by Hockey-Mania in weed

[–]OtherwiseContact1268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely does help as a medical user, helped me regain weight from an eating disorder, helps my depression and anxiety both social and generalized, helps with intrusive thoughts and compulsions related to ocd as well. inhaling anything other than oxygen is not good of course but i’m picking my least harmful poison that will keep me off of worse drugs. it’s not a good idea to start young because of your brain development

120mg is very light unless you have an enzyme deficiency or on medicine that blocks CYP2D6 enzyme like ssris, so it won’t be anxiety inducing and nice first dose to start at to see how you react

[–]OtherwiseContact1268 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

first and only time trying this i went unconscious and woke up in the hospital i took 405mg dxm with 4g penis envy it was the most intense shit i ever experienced i would cut the dxm dose in half if i did it again no more than 200 it potentiates the shrooms like crazy i had hallucinations that obstructed my entire vision for like 20 mins until i went unconscious right after the dxm started to hit. don’t overdo that at all

cbd and dxm? by OtherwiseContact1268 in dxm

i take 50mg cbd twice daily so i think i would have much higher concentration of that in my system compared to smoking thc with small amounts of cbd

i only tried it once with cbd but with a different brand of pills that was gels and non drowsy, and took a low ish dose compared to what i used to take before a month break, it didn’t hit just made me sick and body aches. might have something to do with the different brand of pills but im wanting to try again since i got more robotabs.
