I'm looking for knowledgeable advice, although really, at this point any comments or opinions are welcomed and appreciated. May be a bit gross, but need some help. Here's the thing, for several weeks I have been suffering from a cold that was never quite cured. I got sick, and before I was well again, I was exposed to rain and basically, I haven't been taking care of myself during this time. So I have a cough that won't go away completely (comes and goes) and a congested chest. (phlegm?) Ok, I've been smoking weed during this time (every other day), well actually vaporizing, and during my high, thanks to weed's dilating properties, I'll remove lots of phlegm and can feel that I'll soon be better..... but this is not the case, hence me posting. The question is, should I stop smoking? let my body heal itself? or, keep smoking since it really helps to remove my lung's build-up, which I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to otherwise, although the actual smoke (vapor) does irritate my throat and lungs... I am confused.
stop for a while, to see if you get better or worse. weed does relieve many of those symptoms, although the irritation might prevent your lungs from healing. although i think what you really need to do is to avoid rain, wind, cold etc so you get better.
i was coughin up shit for like 3 weeks a couple months ago and ended up smoking like 2-3 times per week during that period, it seemed like i eventually smoked myself better lol
yea... i've caught a pretty nasty cold last weekend and its still kickin my ass.. fuckin minnesota weather.. one day its 83.. the next its 50... or it may have been sharing pipes with tons of random people that weekend.. which ever it was.. it sucks that i got it.. cuz i rarely get a cold.. and when i do.. they reek havoc on me.. but yea.. anywho.. i havent really been smokin.. i've been too out of it for one.. and well.. it just seems like a waste to have my buzz killed because i just feel like shit anywho... so i've maybe smoked 2 bowls this week.. and havent smoked a cig in awhile either
yes, I think I should stop for a while... at least for a week, because I got this trip planned, so hehe... what I do know though, is I'm getting frustrated. I train tennis everyday....today for example it fucking rained on us again, so that's that. It's impossible to predict the weather.....I hate the weather in this city. It could be cold in the morning, rain at noon and hot in the afternoon... jeez... I'm from El Paso, Texas, basically desert.... hot in the summer and cold in the winter, like it fucking should be...sorry, but the weather here pisses me off.
Id give it a week, you will feel better....And when you first blaze up again you will have a much better time becuz you took a small break.
Smoke it up, brother! That's what I say. It can't really HARM, can it?? Although, if it hurts your throat, then I would smoke less.... or make brownies!
And actually, weather doesn't create more colds. In the winters, no windows are open or anything, so the air is just recirculated. That helps spread colds and such. If you are out a lot in the cold or rain, though, and you aren't bundled up or whatever, your body focuses more on staying warm and your immune system drops a little, becoming a little more susceptible to illnesses.
my experience is that you get incredibly fucked up when you're sick and smoke weed. I don't get sick that often so last winter when I did I smoked and got blitzed out of my skull. End of the story is I was better within a few days. So I think smoking would have it's benefits
