so I was sick today, my throat hurt and head and you know, that typical sick feeling so I came up w/ a great idea. I put some hot tea in a bong and took small-medium hits. No large hits, and it cleared my throat and headache away. I'd reccomend this for sore throats/headaches/other symptoms.
Isn't weed good for clearing/opening lung passegeways and for helping with pain and headaches anyways? Why waste good tea by turning it into scummy bong water?
interesting idea but i don't understand the function of the tea.... maybe since it's hot tea you get some steam?
my friends use tea as an hebal sumplement to the greenery when the supply is low but the bud is potent...they mix it together so they sitll get high and get to smoke a lot. its also good for spreading grease on. i doubt the tea itself is actually what cleared your head, but hey, if a placebo works...might as well keep using it.
Pot dilates your wind pipes alot, thats why you'll notice when you take your first hit when you haven't smoked for a while or the first few hits of the day you cough sometimes, thats the only time i'll cough, it's gotta be pretty damn strong weed for me to cough a good one, and then you'll notice once you start feeling stoned the expanding doesn't bother you as much anymore cuz your windpipes are dilated. So it's actually good if you have like a bad cold, cuz once or twice a day when your sick and your good. (i only smoke once a day, maybe twice when i'm sick, when i'm not i smoke 4-5 times a day usually). And yes it's good for headaches and any aches and pains. But what i notice a big difference in is this, when i'm nauseas, if i smoke a bowl or 2 it takes it away REALLY quick, better than any perscription medication or over the counter meds do, next time you feel that way try it, i guarantee it worx, thats why they give it to cancer patients because when they go through kemo. they get real nauseas and throw up alot and it just like shuts off the switch in your brain that makes you throw up, thats the only way i can describe it. It's the best thing for stomach aches.
oh!!!!@#$#@... man...once one of my dumb friends had the idea of using hot water in the bong so i take a rip and the hot water mixed with the smoke was just the most horrible thing ever.
trippin, i dunno about you but around here, tea is pretty fuckin cheap lol.. reef, that would only happen if its boiling water man, and if your holding your bong that can sorta hurt lol.. so logically, it could not have been harsher than a pipe. personally, ive never smoked weed after getting nauseous caus i never get nauseous unless im really drunk (and even then, i dont really get nauseous i jsut salivate like crazy and/or get cold sweats, which tells me i need to go to the bushes and lean over) or really sick, from something id eaten. that happens barely ever. sometimes i feel sick in teh stomach while stoned caus i eat too fast, and having a dry mouth and throat while eating can make my body give that gag spasm. this feeling sick in the stomach sometiems makes me wanna throw up, but i never do. anyway I was thinkning, one of the reasons peoples illness can sometimes be exentuated (colds and stuff, chest infection sorta thing or bacteria) is caus when the lungs are expanded, the germs can get deeper. but anyway, i started getting a cold after i ran dry, and then when i smoked up again, my sickness went away till later the next day lol, and even then it had gone down a lot. its still there a bit but barely. maybe next smoke will fix it again hehe and if ive been smoking lots in one day, i start to get mild headaches, which is wierd.. caus its not caus of dehydration.. but my weeds not bad quality either. in terms of the thread, the oils (im pretty sure there are some form of oils.. despite seeming illogical in teh case of tea, if not oils then theres no doubtedly something in tea with similar healing qualities) in tea may help to sooth your throat?
the thing i was going for was the vapor from the hot tea, I could have done warm water instead but i figured, why not use some tea. For some reason the vapor seemed more mellow. The main reason i did that was so the smoke wouldn't be as harsh w/ the vapor. I took some hits of just vapor too cuz it felt good on my lungs.
That's why when I have tea, especially when I'm sick, I like to breathe in the steam and vapors off it. But I say why waste a good cup of tea by using it in a bong? Just pour the cup, breathe it in a bit, and then you can still drink it. Maybe toke a little inbetween sips, too, for the healing that marijuana can bring
