So I moved to Humboldt County, California from Michigan about a week and a half ago. Needless to say I started smoking 4 or 5 times a day. Last Friday I was walking up a hill and felt a surge of pain in my chest and back. I thought it was a pulled muscle and of course, went and smoked a bowl. Woke up with pain still the next day and went to the doctor, come to find out I had a spontaneous collapsed lung (pneumothorax). All I can say is; Fuck. :toetap05:
best wishes. update us on how you are doing. i think this may have been something that was going to happen anyway and the increase in your doobing is a coincidence or at worst i think that the increased smoking may have made it happen sooner. Really dont think that it was solely due to moving to Humboldt.
I'm really sorry to hear about that. I moved fro MI to Las Vegas last year. The triangle area was one of the top 5 when I was deciding which place to move to.
Mannn, I've heard of kids getting that around here from "poppers" as they call it (which is a crack tube containing a piece of tobacco and pot smoked in a bong). I've crushed my left lung, but sadly I can't relate because I was comatose while that all went down. I hope you feel better man, and I hope that shit gets sorted out. Bein attached to tubes is no fun
i thought you were going to say you moved to cali from michigan only to find out medical marijuana is also legal in michigan lol, regardless good vibes being sent your way
i know man, my thoughts exactly. when i read this thread after i've been smokin hash or oil, i can feel pains in my lung for real... totally freaks me out.
apparently sections of the lung can collapse spontaneously. i went to the doctor once after experiencing stabbing pains whenever i inhaled. that's what they thought it was, but the x ray didnt show anything so they just told me it was probably a pulled muscle and sent me home. i remember doing it too. i was reaching for a bag of sugar on the top shelf (only a 5kilo bag) and it started to fall. as i was catching it i realized it was also spilling so i moved really awkwardly in order to stop it from hitting the floor and also to stop it from spilling. also twisted my wrist. that fucking bag of sugar gave me like a week of pain and very little sleep. i thought the only way sugar could hurt me was through diabetes.
Lol exact same thing here! i'm soo baked right now, but saw there were some new replies in this thread so i clicked it, and so i started to re-read it (being baked and all) and now my lungs feel all tight and hard to breath
Sucks bro, hope you get well soon. Get a vaporizer! It's so much easier on the lungs if you are a habitual mj smoker.
