"you smoke drugs?"
i answered truthfully; it's legal, and it doesn't matter if they're cops or not.
sometimes.
it turns out they're trying to sell the old fashioned way, and i got a free gram of what appears to be "death bubba". i haven't touched it yet; it could be a while. this wouldn't be my preferred type, but i won't complain - i'll just make sure i need the sleep. nasty stench, though - some of the worst i've ever smelled.
i'm not going to post any details here. it's not illegal for me to accept free bud, but it is still illegal to sell it outside of the taxation schematics. so, i'd be breaking the law by buying it from them, and don't want to publicize the number for that reason. for all i know, they're cops; i'll take the bud and say thank you, but there's no chance i'm calling them back. and, i would highly advise that, if you're going to buy illegally, you make sure you know who you're buying from. the whole point of legalizing it was to go after the small dealers - you don't want to find yourself a victim of entrapment.
but, whether police entrapment or old-skool dealers (i have no idea which is true. at all.), that's actually something i haven't seen in a while - somebody selling pot on the street.
right now, i want to eat and take a shower, not smoke drugs. that could sit for quite a while, really. but, it's in there.
i got about half of the test done:
- cbc
- reticulocyte
- ldh & ck isoenzymes
- zinc
- ferritin
- urinalysis
next time, we'll do:
- haptoglobin
- lead
- hepcidin
- h pylori
i wanted the hepcidin done, but it would have required a 5th vial and i just couldn't deal with that. the tests that did get done should give me enough info to tell me if i need injections or not, whether i'm bleeding or not and whether the absorption issue is strictly related to iron or not.
they also gave me the fecal kit, but it says not to do it if you're on iron, so i'm going to wait to talk to the gastro-intestinal specialist, first. i probably don't want to go off iron to check for blood in my stool. but we'll see what he says next week.
and, i got everything i need, except strawberries....with $3.15 left to followup on it. thankfully, they're on sale this week, they're just out.
