because i have a terrible cold (that i'm sure i got at Grassroots, camping out in the rain all weekend and all), hell it could be pneumonia for all i care anyways, i went to the clinic on campus for my free healthcare and what not i expected her to tell me that i just had a regular cold and to maybe give me something for it, or at least just tell me what i had and what to do she did the whole stethoscope/"breath in deeply, let out slowly" ordeal. the first time i breathed in she went "woah..." and i was like "oh fuck." she went through it all, my front and back. she told me my lungs were making popping noises? and other noises. it went so far as to where she almost wanted to prescribe me an inhaler, and she seemed surprised i didn't have asthma. i didn't tell her i smoked pot (it just seemed weird to tell her that). she didn't give me an inhaler because she didn't think i was weezing enough (at all really). ANYWAYS, she told me to avoid smoking, or to avoid smoke in general. this makes sense to me, i can heed that warning. so i'll quit for a good while, let this cold pass at least, probably go a little longer. though, the thing is, i just went home this weekend, saw my friends for the first time in a while (one friend(whose house i was at) i hadn't seen since before i moved). well, he packed up the bowl, and i felt it would be alright to smoke a bowl or two with them and carry on the oath after the night. well now my girlfriend is freaking the fuck out on me, concerned about my health, and my lungs, and that i may get lung cancer, and that because i smoked on friday night after saying i should quit midday friday she is angry with me. i understand this. i do. and i appreciate her concern. but i don't need to worry about every single thing that could affect my health, or potentially even kill me. it's not like i'm ignorant to the fact that i COULD get lung cancer, perhaps one day. i only smoked that one time on friday. i don't feel i should be punished for that
I feel you. Do you smoke cigs too? That would be a big problem, but I'm assuming that you don't. Take care.
Make brownies and tea, and pizza, and butter. COOK WITH MARIJUANA. just don't smoke and you'll be fine :H
when the seasons change, im always prescribed an inhaler.... even way before i smoked. i always get chest pains and lung shit because of nasal drip. i dont think it really has to do with toking up.
i don't smoke cigarettes, but i have always been around them as a kid 2nd hand smoke man...no good, especially when it's around you're entire life growing up basically i think that has something to do with everytime i smoke a cigarette i get the cold sweats and start shaking, get nauseas, and curl up in a fetal position on my bed i could have pneumonia, i don't think so though. ever since i moved to wilmington (around the beginning of august) and actually even a little bit before, i don't think i've smoked any other way besides bong hits. one of my friend's said "you could have bong lung" he was joking, but that kind of makes sense either way, it's not smart of me to smoke currently while i have this shit going on. i have horrible self-control though, or at least i used to. the one and only time i had strep throat i refused to stop smoking. that was horrible, and quite possibly the worst decision i've ever made. been tellin' myself for weeks i need to go on hiatus, i think this lung thing is God's way of saying "quit smoking pot dumbass" which i think is good enough for me, as i've pretty much been high everyday for at least a year and a half let's see what it's like on the other side.... oh, and the pot brownies thing is still a good idea if i actually do want to get high again. just, someone point me in the direction of some schwag and i'm up for it. never gotten high from eaten weed (in whatever form) before i really don't think it'll even happen anytime soon anyways, but just in case, eating is always an option. and i guess there's always vaporizers. obviously you can see why i have no self-control
I know that feeling lol! My lungs collapsed twice in the past 3 months, and I still smoke a pack a day and at least a joint each night. And my girlfriend gives me shit about it Some people just never learn (like me)
i really think i need to go back and fess up about my smoking i mean, she's a doctor, and if there's something wrong with my lungs, i think that bit of info may be a little important to know and i dunno how much this relates to the rest of this anymore (but it still has to do with me being sick) but she was asking me if my mucus (when i blew my nose) was any other color than clear well, just a little while ago i went on a nose blowing binge to try and rid myself of some mucus, and it was dark nasty yellow and some had red in it...so i don't think that's good... i'm kind of getting worried now
im not 100% sure bout it, but im pretty sure that if you were to tell a doctor that you smoke pot, they wouldnt charge you any crime or anything. if i were you, i would wait a little while before goin back to the doctor. if you still feel horrible after a week and still worried, i think you should go back to the doctor that sucks richie hope your lungs feel better soon
hmm, guess i never updated this? or maybe i did on skunk and you didn't see it but i went back, told her, she basically said "i could tell" she checked my breathing again and said my lungs sounded fine guess dave was right and it was just the mucus/phlegm
all types of SMOKE in ur lungs damage them, excessive damage will cause problems, cancer is one of em
For what its worth, I'm guessing Bronchitis. My symtomes were A constant hard cough, lasting longer than the usual cold (weeks, in my case - months) Fatigue Inablity to take deep breaths without initiating a coughing jag What felt like a knot of phlem in the middle of my chest Clear phlem I had to go on antibiotics and a cough medicine with Codine to clear it up. Each time I had Bronchitis, it started off with a cold that went down to my chest. The trouble with Bronchitis is it can develop into Pneumonia.
doesn't really matter try being told your lungs are making weird, strange noises and see if you get the slightest bit worried anyways, i guess it was just a minor case of bronchitis? perhaps? it's going away now i'm still takin' a break from the ganj though
i had a cold yesterday, and i just smoked it away. it worked better than any store-bought medicine i had.
oh. well i may have, but i thought maybe that it happened once and you were ok, but then you went back this time and it was worse. i get it now this is whats been happening to me. i have lost track of time so fast. i hardly know what day it is anymore.
the thc in pot helps with the cancer, smoking it isn't going to do you any good cause it's the smoke that causes cancer, but the thc helps to fight against it...or at least that's what's being said in research and i was talking to this girl last night at this cafe/bar in town called the velvet elvis, what she does is she cooks the stems and such in butter (double boiler type thing i think) and then you can use the butter in pretty much anything plus i would really recommend tea, aw i love stem tea ~good luck with everything, i hope you feel better
