Hello I’m new here on the forum. I was wondering if you can get any diseases or sicknesses from sharing a joint? Normally i only smoke with 1 or 2 friends Few days ago i had a really busy day i was very annoyed and tired So i was almost home i was at the central station of amsterdam. I just wanted to smoke a joint in peace. there was 1 big wind so barely could light up my joint. Smoking in peace didin’t go as i planned. While lighting up my joint there where 2 arabic people i wasn’t sure if they where junkies or not they kinda looked like asylum seekers and they where probably father and son. They asked me if i had a cigarette i just gave them my whole packet ( 5 cigarettes ) so they would fuck off. Them they asked if they could hit my joint i said just 1 ok not more! They where talking all bullshit saying they did travel so they’re very tired and really could use this joint saying things about allah etc. And they started coughing 1 guy said i don’t know but i think i gonna die soon and they said my stuff was to strong. The other guy was caughing into the area of my joint. Then this african guy came random asf joining us with a beer asking if we had a cigarette and if he could hit my joint. I gave him 1/2 hits. I told them i need to go. The end of my joint was really wet but i was pretty annoyed and tired so burned the end and smoked it since it was my last one. And now i’m thinking like shit what if they gave me some crazy diseases so i’m wondering if you could get a disease from sharing a joint? And sorry for the long story
anything that can be transmitted through saliva could be shared on a joint. you are probably fine though, we are exposed to millions of viruses a every day. at worst you might get the flu, just because your buddies were coughing in your general direction with out covering their mouths, but your body has the tools to fight off any virus.
Can coronavirus be transmitted by things like door handles and how long does it survive? - Jean Jimenez, Panama If someone infected with the virus coughs on to their hand and then touches something, that surface may become contaminated. Door handles are a good example of a surface that might pose a risk. It's not yet known how long the new coronavirus might be able to live on such surfaces. Experts suspect it is hours rather than days but it is best to wash your hands regularly to help reduce the risk of infection and spread of the virus. Can you catch the virus from food prepared by an infected individual? - Sean McIntyre, Brisbane, Australia Someone infected with coronavirus could potentially pass it on to someone else if the food they prepare has not been handled hygienically. Coronavirus can be spread by cough droplets on hands. Washing your hands before touching and eating food is good advice for anyone, to stop the spread of germs Code: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51176409
Well actually it weren’t my buddies. It where just some annoying strangers who wanted a hit and started coughing into my joint.
I'm now giving away swim googles with every 25 face masks its gonna be a capitalist flue if ever ....lol
You may have uncovered a terrorist plot to kill off one stoner at a time. I would call the CDC just in case you're patient zero.
Yea you think there a low chance i could get a disease with sharing a joint? 1 thing i know for sure is that i gonna be harder for people and don’t let people i don’t know hit my hash anymore. Just praying the guys didin’t had corona hehe
So you lit a joint and all the wierdos crawled out of the wood work. Sounds about right. If you aint sick yet your probably fine.
Let us pray. Coronavirus lays dormant for weeks. By the time you know you're literally gonna be locked down in quarantine.
I was joking but now I'm serious. Op just needs to know not to share with randoms who roll up on him like they've known him for years, that's how accidents happen.
I am sorry. I couldn't help myself. You can get germs from sharing things that go in your mouth. However, depending upon the pathogen, virus, bacteria, parasite, there are any number of ways that you can become infected. For example viruses can be spread through microscopic droplets that can enter your eyes, mouth, or nose. So, in this example, you're just as likely contracting an infection from riding the bus as you are sharing a joint. In all seriousness, don't share joints, you're mother was right to tell you to wash your hands, clean your house and do the laundry. That said, you're going to be okay. It's cold and flu season, we are all going to get something. It's even healthy to get sick once in a while, like a reset for our immune systems. Anyways, didn't mean to be insensitive. Don't fret. If this news of COVID-19 is freaking you out and you are young, be assured, the human race has fought off all sorts of nasties before you existed and will continue to do so in the future. To reiterate, from sharing the joint, sure you could have gotten yourself a nice cold virus or worse the flu. Get vaccinated. Chicken soup. Fluids. It's going to be fine. * Unless the terrorist plot thing turns out to be real. Then we all better stock up on duct tape again.
Some are going a bit overboard but it is a possibility to get sick. Say someone has the flu and ypu share a joint with them. That opens you up to getting the flu. When winter time hits i have no problem packing up friends and family but they need to bring their own tool
