No?


No.



What about I'm assigned 5000, and I'm level at 5000. I request
a "cruise 7000" and am granted that request. ("347FB cruise
seven thousand").


Why would you request a descent and approach clearance if all you wanted was
to climb from 5000 to 7000? If you want a higher altitude, ask for a higher
altitude.



1: is this an improper request? (never mind whether it will
accomplish what anybody thinks I want to accomplish)


Yes.



2: Is it improper to give me "347FB cruise seven thousand" when
I'm level at 5000?


Yes.



3: If the answer to the above are "no", then how do I get to
7000 without climbing? (and without drugs)


Regardless of the answer to the above, you cannot get to 7000 from 5000
without climbing. If you want to get from 5000 to 7000 then request 7000,
don't request a descent and approach clearance.

I advise you to get off the drugs.
