*PANICK*

Holy shit guys, I'm pretty worried about this.

I was throwing pot-seeds at my girlfriend last night as she sat on my bed. Childish, but amusing at the time. This morning, the laughter stopped. I cleaned up all of the seeds, or so I thought, but now that I'm awake I can feel something inside my ear. I'm pretty sure it's a seed, but it could be a fucking spider, a beetle, a carniverous earwig, or an alien of some sort. I'm getting very worried.

What the fuck am I gonna do? I don't really want to go to the doctor for this kind of things because a} It's a pot seed ffs. B} This is a small town, and I know the doctor very, very well c} One of the doctor's sons happens to be the local dickcheese cop, who already dislikes me.

On the other hand, I'm afraid to dig around in my ear by myself, for fear I'll poke it too deep or just lodge it somewhere in there.

It's bugging the fuck out of me, and I want to get high, but due to the situation I'm in... No.

I guess this begs the question, if I left it in there and it grew, would you smoke it? I get high alot, so the soil in there just has to be primed with nutreints for the ganj.

Flush it out with a gentle stream of water. If that doesn't work see a doctor.

Aren't the seeds illegal?

What you could do is go to doctor and tell him its a sesame seed...

Hemp seeds are not illegal. They are even found in bird food. Plus doctors are bound by doctor/patient privelage and can't turn you in unless they are certain you are planning to hurt someone.

Agreed.

Depending upon your manual dexterity, I would suggest using a pair of tweezers, but you already said that you don't want to dig around in your ear.

In any event, I'm (almost) sure that no plant seed of any kind will successfully take root inside an ear canal.

Or just go to the doctor and take responsibility for having something illegal like a big boy.

Go to the nearest University and get the trainee medics to look at it.

I'm sure they'll like the free experience.

If it does that's sure to make you famous.

And then you could say its legal because its my own body. :Who is the government to tell me what to do with it?
You could get republicans to fight for you for that reason. Libertarians because its pot.

Yeah. Jokes.

I'm not ashamed that I burn, at all, so you can pack your snide comments. If I was questioned about it, I would answer truthfully and not care in the least. I am, however, a little concerned that the doctor and his son the crooked cop will conspire against me, as I'm stuck in a 'Holy' town that frowns upon people like me, because I do whatever I want and they can't do anything about it.. except conspire.

Warm water in the ear. Shoulda thought of that. *calms a bit*

Sounds like the kind of place I would gladly leave as soon as I could.

drive an extra hour to a real doctor?

Yeah I noticed you posted that while I was typing that message out. Bummer. :(

I am taking some classes where I am learning a few medical type things. Those ear cleaning kits you get for earwax ought to do the trick safely. The seed may actually come out on it's own in time, that's what earwax does, it removes things from your ear. I would feel nervous going to that particular doctor in that particular town too. I'd go to like a clinic in another town if I could not get it out. I don't even want to go to anything medical for anything sensitive in my town, not because of the doctor, but because of who might be in the waiting room! That's who gossip. Doctors usually do keep their lips buttoned because they can be sued if they don't. Regular people don't realize how important medical confidentiality is to a civilized society. Doctors are only legally obligated to report things like gunshot wounds, sexually transmitted diseases and diseases for which there is a quarantin, and child abuse.
So my advice would be go to the drugstore, get an earwax removal kit, follow the instructions. Probably that will work.
If it doesn't work, go to a clinic at a college out of town like the other guy suggested, you are less likely to run into someone you know.
on the up side, pot seeds are small, it can't hurt you unless you push it further in. It's mostly going to itch like hell. It's possible it could be a source of irritation or mild local infection though, so do get it out of there.
Take care.

Its generally a bad idea to stick pointy metal things into your ear: one little slip and you can be fucked for life. Try flushing it out with warm water.

One way to do this would be to take a bath and immerse your head in water (but don't drown yourself, man!); then hope to hell the damn thing floats out.

Earwax buildup runs in my family...my late father used to use a little rubber bulbuous thingy like a mini turkey-baster to squirt water in his ear canal every morning - try looking for something like that at a drugstore, if you can't bring yourself to go to a walk-in clinic or something.

I think you should go see someone though - the 'bird seed' ploy would probably do nicely. If you wanted to shore that fib up a bit, grab some actual birdseed and smush it into your hair and clothes a little.

Dang ...youve got to be a really good shot to get a pot seed into an ear. Kudos. But its gotta come out. Soon. They make this oil to put in your ears for ear aches, you could ask a pharmacist, so go get some of that. Put just a little-2 drops and then go lay down so that the ear the seed is in is facing the pillow. It could loosen up and come out. And while laying there- hold your nose and blow gently-not too hard cause you can hurt yourself. I know someone who got a piece of a pencil eraser out of their ear doing what Ive described. What do you have to lose except a pot seed?

Next time try throwing M&MS at each others mouths and see who can catch the most. That has to be safer.

^^^Truth.

NEVER put anything in your ear canal. No, not even those damn cotton bud sticks.

Oh yeah...I almost forgot:

If it gets infected, buy yourself a tiny little bottle of Polysporin, it's an antibiotic ear/eye drop that works quickly, just in case.

Victory!

Took a three hour bath and a solid portion of the book 'Battlefield Earth'{Don't read it.} to get it out. My girlfriend poured about eighty pitchers of water in my ear.

So, wrinkled and cold, but the seed is gone and you may all halt your prayers.

Also, a pot-seed, one, is definately not illegal, but 'seeds', multiple, are illegal. Paraphernelia.

Not really. Pot seeds (sterilized) are used in bird food. You can even buy some microbrews made with pot seeds. Don't do it though. They taste like crap.
