Hey im new to this forum but i have a question for you guys, Ive been smoking pot almost every day for the past week or so and yesterday i developed a fairly bad sore throat, my bro says i shouldnt smoke as my throat could get infected or something but it sounded like he was pulling it out of his ass i was jsut wondering if i could get a second opinion on this p.s. It is possible though not likely that I got this sore throat from smoking pot yesterday as it developed sometime after smoking some ash in a bowl
I think the weather is just getting sneaky man, depending on where you live ofcourse. but replying to the thread title...smoking with a fever is pretty fucked up, a serious fever atleast. i had a sick fever a few months back and was walking home when i saw two of my friends smoking a joint, i talked to them a little, took just a few hits and got moving. i had a crazy trip on the way home, the 5 minutes seemed like 5 hours + i almost passed out like 20 meters from the house, that pretty much freaked me out and i went straight to bed and had the most fucken sick case of lucid dreaming ever, it was fricken magical. i don't remember taking any medicine either, just took 3-4 hits.
I smoked when I had mono and still got better fairly quickly (in about a month and a half, which is quick for mono)
depends on what i'm sick with and if i feel like smoking. smoking may often make me feel "better," but rarely, if ever, effects my symptoms. if i'm really, really nauseous or dizzy, i dont smoke. a lot of people say pots good for nausea, but this hasn't usually held true in my experience - it often makes it worse for me. if i had a fever, i also probably wouldnt smoke. basically, if its anything serious or debilitatingly unpleasant, i'll usually pass up pot or alcohol. but with a cold or a headache or whatever, i'm pretty likely to smoke.
If your throat is sore, then dont if you dont want to, if you do want to then ... just go ahead. good advice eh?
exactly. make up your own mind. though eating it is a fucking blast, and if you cook it just right its not at all unpleasant to consume. this would not irritate the throat in the least.
I don't really get sick with fever and all that often, and I haven't had the flu or a similar affliction since before I started smoking. Additionally, the last time I had a fever, I was away at school without bud. But whenever I get a cold, I still smoke constantly.
i figure right now, i got a cold man. i feel like shit on a stick. if i smoke i feel like shit on a stick still, but i dont care
I once had a horrible chest cold. My chest was very tight and I was coughing like crazy. Im a pack a day smoker but I couldnt even smoke cigarettes at that time because it hurt my chest so bad. I had a little bit of weed left which I was going to save until I felt better. But one night my chest was hurting so bad and I was coughing constantly and felt like shit so I just said "Fuck it, Im getting stoned!" I packed a bowl and with the first hit I felt the marijuana smoke go into my lungs and it actually felt good. I breathed it in deep because it felt like it was clearing out all the congested mucus in my lungs. I was very surprised and so I smoked the entire bowl and when I was finished I couldnt even tell I ever had a cold. I stopped coughing, my chest did not feel tight at all and I was breathing clear and normal again. I was even able to smoke a cigarette with no problems. I loved it! I sat back and smoked cigarettes all night and felt so good. It wasnt until 4 or 5 hours later that my symptoms slowly returned and the coughing started again but it wasnt as bad. So I smoked another bowl and went to sleep fine. The weed helped me through one of the worst chest colds Ive ever had. To my surprise smoking weed is the best cold remedy Ive ever tried. Thousands of times better than conventional cough syrups which only mask your symptoms, weed actually helps you recover faster by breaking up the fibrous mucus in your lungs.
I don't like to smoke when I'm sick. Especially if I have a cold with sinus pain...don't smoke with sinus pain it makes it worse. If it's just your throat though, go for it I'd say.
