Coughing?

[autumn tourniquet]

I'm pretty new to smoking cannabis, I started in January, and have smoked every chance I've got.

My boyfriend bought some kynd bud yesterday (the hippie that he is, ha) and we smoked that. I could not for the life of me stop coughing, every time I take a hit, I'd cough so deeply. It feels horrible because I can't even hold in my hit. :( *miffed* Can anyone tell me how I can control coughing and take better hits? I'm much better than I was before, but this coughing is gonna kill me, hahaha.

Oh yeah, we smoke out of a bead, because all of his other bongs and pipes had to be thrown out before moving here. :( Horrible pity. :(, so I don't know if thats gonna help you all out helping me out. :)

toodles

[justinsane]

well assuming that the bead is small, theres absolutly no room for the smoke to cool down, so its pretty much like inhaling fire..

all i can say is, take smaller hits, and save up for a bubbler

[ethsfreshman]

make a bong dude.
im 13, and i make them :)

just take a 2 liter bottle, make a whole 3/4th of the way down, get some silicone sealant, put some sort of stem in there (i used a turkey baster) and then make a bowl (a socket works here, or go to a hardware store) and seal the bowl on the end of the turkey baster (take the little eyedropper part off first) then, stick the stem (baster) in the hole, seal it, and make another hole 3/4ths of the way up (carb). then put water in (to where the bottom part of the baster is under water, but its below the bottom hole) light your bud, cover the carb, inhale til like your almost full, and uncover the carb. if you want really nice hits, use hot water. it moisturizes the hit, and makes it easier to hold.
also, you can (if you can figure out how to fit it in) put ice in there, and that makes the bubbles break up (more surface area= better filtration (the water takes out alot of carcinogens) and cooler smoke).

[ethsfreshman]

Or use my method.
okay, take a sip of water, and cup your hands around your mouth. then put the opening of whatever it is you are smoking inside your cupped hands, lean your head forward (not swallowing the water) and breath in. it will bubble in your mouth, right? Voila! Instant Bong!

kynd bud hahahah

Anyone think it might be the weed? Some weed is just harsher than others. This, plus your method of taking in the smoke, probably makes for your coughing fit.

[ethsfreshman]

he is just new to it. first time i smoked it (at 12) i used a bong. i always filter through water, whether its in a bong or in my mouth. you wont believe the difference it makes. :D

damn 13

:)
yeah, i am a little bit young :P

[silasbotwin]

I train myself not to cough, I just hold myself. Have some water around or build up some saliva.

[orangeman]

Your just fuckin virgin lungs lol. When I think about it, it's amazing because I remember I used to couldnt hold hits in. It felt like a strong force of air hit me in the chest and I didnt like it. Now it doesnt even happen I just smoke like it's regular :confused:

[smanrocks]

one
its a girl
and two, french inhale it or something, stronger hit, but i'll doubt you'll cough, cuz that little bit of air connection cools it

[ethsfreshman]

whats with the misogynistic comment smanrocks?

[autumn tourniquet]

Thanks alot for all of the suggestions. I just got back from his place----so stoned!! :) I didn't cough as much. I think it is just because I am new to smoking, i'll try the "water bong" with cupped hands. :) I'm sure we'll save up for a bong soon, but I just need to know what to do till then.

He says its because I hold my hit in too long, but I got so ripped today after holding my hit in longer than usual. Coughing a little then, but thats about it. Just breathe in and your high as a kite this time, lol.

Anyways, keep on suggesting, i'm sure I'll need it. :)

whats with the misogynistic comment smanrocks?

haha i was wondering about the same thing... i'm a girl, i hang out with all stoner chicks, and we can toke with the best of 'em!

[BestTonicIsChronic]

ya when ur new to inhaling smoke it is gonna make you cough, but with time that "healthy" layer of tar will coat ur fresh pink lungs and will allow you to smoke with the best of em. Really tho i hate smoking but i love the high so i deal with it.

wow, you two need to learn to read the whole thread. stimulate your mind a little bit. did you notice every single other person before sman calling this girl a guy? that's all he meant. he was just respecting her and trying to set everyone straight on that.

"when you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME " :rasta: lol

[infinitereverie]

okay, i admit i can see how you meant it now, but i did read the whole thread, and you yourself have to admit its pretty ambiguous.

[ethsfreshman]

okay, i realize now it was not a sexist statement.
sorry :D

Yay for tar, lol. Not really, I hate smoking too and I love the high, so I deal with it too.

-As for the genderness, I am a girl. I even stated I had a boyfriend, that should allow you to ASSUME (:) lol) that i'm a girl. :) Silly-dillys, muwhahahaha. :D

Anyways, thanks for the suggestions again!

[ethsfreshman]

Yep :)

and as for the cupped hands bong thing, try right now by putting saliva in the front of your mouth and inhaling. see if it works :)

plus, you can try different liquids!
just make sure you dont swallow that stuff :)

BTW, cupped hand bonging (lol) is safer, too. it takes lotsa carcinogens out of the smoke :)

[autumn tourniquet]

I will try the cupped hand bonging (ha) tommrow, because i'm at home now and I have no pot. Booo! lol.

Oh wow, that'd be fun with all sorts of different liquids...
...wow that sounded horrible...

Is it safer? Thats neat-o. :)

[AndrewLIKESbud]

Nothing wrong with coughing!!! It gets you higher faster. You shouldnt be so worried about coughing in my own opinion, you'll still get high no matter what.

[autumn tourniquet]

Yeah? I just hate coughing, it makes me feel like i'm fucking up the high because my lungs are disagreeing with the delicious herb. :)

[wxwforlife]

when i started smoking i couched my ass off then slowly built my tolerence now i cough after strong hits or harsh ones

95% of thc is absorbed within 5 seconds of inhalation. Holding hits, and or 'ghost hits' is really just oxygen deprivation and more of a placebo effect :thumbsup:

Try to take the hit, inhale, then count to 5 in your head. When you focus on that and only that you won't cough. Good luck. :)

eh now that i think about it i didnt think of it that way at all when i saw it, i knew what he was talking about, but i can see how someone would make that postulation :)

Ok, thank you, I'm sure that'll help very much. I'll also try that today when I go to his place. :)

[ethsfreshman]

dude, if it is in 5 secon ds that most if it is absorbed, why the hell ahve i been tortuiring myself with the 20 second rule?

[WakingDream]

I bought a pipe at the quick stop, one of those junky metal ones. Every time I smoked I cough like hell, took me a week to realize it wasnt the weed it was the pipe that was the problem.


Or take smaller hits. Open your lips a little bit to dillute the smoke. I also find inhaling through my nose to finish my hit clears out the smoke that gets up into my nasal cavity.

Find a smoking method that works for you.

[CaptainDankNuggets]

Drink some water or some kind of liquid

[Hollandica]

your weed has the Cough factor.

I guess your lungs will grow maybe more accustomed to high cough factor weed. Mine have, I guess. Sometimes everybody around me is coughing and I'm always the only one not.
