Getting high when you have a cold

What's your theory on this?

Is it "my fucking throat is killing me, my head is in a fog... I probably should not make it worse by smoking weed"?

Or Is it "my fucking throat is killing me, my head is in a fog... I probably should make it feel better by smoking weed"?



I'm talkin a nasty ass cold and all the symptoms that come with it.

I'm off to lie down before I do anything.

 

it always makes me feel better. it might hurt to smoke it but tobacco (not premanufactured cigarettes) and marijuana can actually be used in limited doses as a decongestant because it causes coughing that clears all that junk out. the native americans used tobacco traditionally for that reason. and of course afterwards you'll feel much better because pot makes everything better.

 

it's not enjoyable.. but whatever makes me pass out and give me rest from a runny nose.. im for it.. but usually a bottle of Nyquil over the course of a day kills a cold fast

 

Last weekend I began to feel like the average cold was comin on. My head was incredibly congested. I had recently picked up an 1/8 and thought why not. Got all comfy in bed and took one toke. Bam! It was like a fuckin coupon for getting stoned. All the congestion and a good take had my head feeling out there. I popped in the first jurrasic park and got my cold on.

I've also had times where taking a small hit sent me into a coughing spasm that never ended.

So who knows, I atleast just try an see.

 

what are your actual symptoms? i usually smoke anyway, but i also know when to use what medicines for best effect.

my routine when i start getting a cold starts with hot tea, +1 bay leaf while steeping. the bay leaf is part of what makes chicken soup so good when you are sick. homemade chicken soup tends to have the added benefit of coating your throat, the gelatinous finger-licking goodness of homemade stock...mmmm. but i dont always have time for that, so bay leaf tea, usually in a minty tea, or chamomile before bed. i have done bay leaf by itself, but its limited flavor-wise. it helps break up congestion, and get the crap out. might make a runny nose worse though.

 

Smoke a little if it makes you feel ok continue if not stop.
That's a motto for life really.

 

I always smoke and haven't had bronchitis in quite awhile, watch out about smoking cigs though when you're sick, quick path to infection.

Then again if you're like my friend, "if my body can't fight off infection, it deserves to be infected" lol

 

this is why you need cannabis capsules.
no irritating your throat with smoke, and the high lasts as long time, and it helps you sleep.

 

i honestly don't think it makes a difference...

 

It's different every time for me, sometimes I regret it, sometimes I don't.

 

I have to be sick as FUCK to not still want to smoke weed. And every once in a blue moon, it does indeed happen. But those days are the kind that make you wanna die.

 

i smoke less, but i still smoke. i'm sick with a cold right now actually

 

Thank all of you for your remedy's and thoughts on the subject.

I actually ended up taking 3 smallish sized tokes off my pipe, and caught a really nice buzz.

Of course waking up has been no pleasure, but that has nothing to do with the few hits I took. I just feel like shit.

Soon will be my 2nd night of my NyQuil, Xanax, weed cocktail. The only difference I have to get up at 6:30am, and today I slept til noon give or take a few pee breaks.

 

I don't get sick very often. I can't recall a time getting high while having a cold.

 

Yeah it fuks up your throat but thats the sacrifice.

 

I took my cocktail about an hour ago.
I still can't breathe through my nose.
I could pass out if I shut my eyes, but yet I fight it for either enjoying the buzz or I'm just to tired/lazy to get up.

 

Well let me state for the record
Taking NyQuil 5 hours before you have to get up is not the best idea.
I wicked overslept, and even now I am in a total fog.

 

are you not that experienced with NyQuil? ALWAYS allot yourself a proper nights sleep before taking! "this tastes like BAM! into the coma you go."

I smoked with bronchitis. it was not a good idea. I couldn't breathe. and I could hear my chest radling evey 5 seconeds. it was not enjoyable at all. but with a cold maybe it won't be as bad. I have smoked with a sore throat before, then I got cotton mouth on top of that, nothing I ate or drank did nothing at all
