Pot and Tobacco-The slip

Remember day 3’s post mentioning the hukkah like pipe I wanted to puff on? Well this 4 person wonder is actually designed for pot. It has beautiful golden pot leaves drawn on it and it smokes quite well.

Anyway, the way we used to use it it is meant to be used is straight up without mixing the tobacco with the said pot. Apparently many people like to smoke their stuff mixed in roughly equal proportions. I never did. But a few days ago I did the dirty <collective gasp>.

I know what you’re thinking but it’s not as bad as it sounds and I do have an extensive array of excuses ready.

There was very little of it. I mean pot not tobacco. It was very potent but it needed something to burn. And it’s been ages since I went to Amsterdam. I have a stressful life. So I took a hit or 2 or 3. The first thing I tasted was tobacco, for the first time in almost 3 months.

It doesn’t taste as bad as I thought it would. It didn’t come easy to inhale. It made me choke. I feel very disappointed in myself and having to mix it. It ignited subconscious feelings of wanting to smoke.

So what did I do about it? Did I go out and buy a pack of cigarettes, or a carton cause it’s cheaper that way? No. I did nothing. Nothing except watch something funny. I don’t think it should count as a slip because I couldn’t even feel the tobacco, I was so lit.

Let’s assume for a second that this can be considered a slip, which it cannot :) . Life goes on. Obama and Hillary are still fighting. I didn’t put a cigarette in my mouth. Not for lack of want.

But I am a non-smoker now. And I am thinking of changing the picture. And I am finally more relaxed (from the weed not the cigarettes).

Help me out here. Should this be considered a slip?
