    Like during a cold or whatever, do you smoke to make you feel better? Or does it make it worse?

    it may relieve it temporarily, but overall it will weaken your immune system and cause the cold to drag out weeks at a time... still though, i need my daily smoke, but i strongly advise not smoking while sick.

    I use a voprizer so its less bad for you when you're sick.


    I don't think it actually helps with the cold or whatever, but if you're puking, it will calm your stomach.

    Oh, and it just makes you feel better and sleep better.

    So, in short, take a vit. C, some echinacea, drink lots of water, and find a movie to die on the couch with. Some MJ doesn't really help, but it doesn't really hurt either.

    Peace

    When I catch a really bad cold (like at this moment), it only makes it worse. My head feels heavy already and my throat hurts.
    I can use my weed at a better time.

    Marijuana does not weaken the immune system... That is just a myth...

    Smoking any substance weakens the immune system.

    You are wrong. Marijuana has been proven, time and time again, to weaken immune response.

    This is sometimes a benefit, though. Multiple Sclerosis patiens, with an overactive immune system, sometimes benefit from chronic marijuana use.

    it does weaken the immune system? i was thinking something like this, and i was wanting to keep track of my smoking habbits vs me getting sick from now on just to see. but anyways, being sick SUCKS! It's just that general crappy nasty feeling that won't go away! UGH! It's been like 2 weeks!!

    IT SUCKS TO FEEL LIKE SHIT!!!
