smoking when u have a cold

[hades203]

i got a cold right now and i was wondering if it is ok to smoke while i had it?
it might be a bit harder to but i think if it was ok i'd do it....

[S.P.Q.R.]

I usually smoke when I have a cold... it makes me feel like i'm sick longer though

[D1me]

nah stay sober i just had a bad one. you will just get a sore throat that hurts like hell, unless you have a really good bong with ice.

[hammertime]

i have smoked everyday for 4 years except for 4 days of being in nyc with my folks this summer, and a 3 day trip to my grandma's other than that i blazed rain or shine cough or cold pee or poop........if you arent dead then you should be blazin

:thumbsup: even if im really ill i still try and toke,i then imagine im really stoned and not ill, but must admit i do sometimes regret it,but i aint gonna change a habbit of a lifetime,have a cold now,sore throat ,cough with every little toke and it tastes like shit but it aint gonna stop me.:stoned:

The last time I had a cold and smoked (the only time actually), I felt fine for the rest of the day, but when I woke up the next day I felt fucking awful.

I'd wait to smoke if I were you. A couple of days sober won't do any harm.

[Nocturnal Stoner]

dnt blaze when uve got a cold, it does make things worse, you won't notice it when ur high, but when you wake up u'll be all burnt out and feeling shit

[ozkid]

its not worth it

[zephyrinne]

I've smoked when I've had a little cold.. it actually makes me feel better. Takes away a headache, body aches, things like that. But I probably wouldn't smoke if I had a bad case of the flu or something.

hell yeah thats how u do it:pimp:

[Pride]

weed can cure colds and such. just try it a little and see what happens. it wont kill you. If anything, it will most likely help you.

[hades203]

well i tryied a bit and i felt better .....i didn't want to take sum cold med. till after i was sure that any bit of a buzz was completely gone.....I think my cold should clear up realy soon becuase school starts on tuesday

[SmokeyToker]

i get colds. and still smoke.
i think i get colds from smoking easier. idk.
smoking gives you chronic bronchitious.

[Cas]

i'd smoke if you're up, but if you're the kind of sick where you just sleep all day and it hurts you to sit up then forget about it.

[budsmoker]

i did it yesterday and i think it got rid of it

[MudFu]

hehe I actually will not turn away weed when I have the flu or really sick in the stomach, not throw up sick but still sick.

I find it makes me feel better, and I usually smoke at night so by the time I gett ready to come off the buzz, I'm usually in bed sleeping, so I avoid the pain for a while.

Yep...weed, the cure of all that ills me.

[MyMARYJANE]

hmm maybe make some brownies or somethin. if your not really sick then id say yea smoke, but dont go crazy with it.. till you get better

[Oneironaut]

Go right ahead. Just take little baby tokes if the smoke is making you cough a lot.

[LIP]

I smoked last time i had a cold and it went within 2 days, and it got rid of my chest infection too. Weed has anti-biotic properties so it cant make it any worse.

[BongZoola]

As they say 'the best tonic is the chronic', just be sure to wash your mouth piece i've gotten sick from other ill tokers.

[hades203]

well i wasn't realy sick it was just a few day in which i wasn't feeling the greatest.....
after i smoked i felt fine like i wsa never sick but in the morning i was soo congested i could barely breath(i useualy get congestion in the morning)
but i'm better now and have 7 grams of sum realy potent dank:rasta: :rasta: :rasta:
i'll see u guys later i'm gunna go pack a bong :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

[RIH]

I've smoked while I've been sick, and it's a weird, different high. It kinda burns my throat when I smoke, and you get really tired and congested. It's not that fun, but I do it anyway.

[wadejason]

yeah smoking probably isnt the wisest choice to do when you actually are sick meaning common cold or flu. not only can you get your buddies sick from contact with the piece your using but also i think weed does do something for you when your in a shitty situation. so my guess would be to take it easy, roll a joint and take it easy but dont break out the bong for the weekend smoking ya know? so take it easy, toke your jay and go to bed. sleep really is the best thing for you when your sick.

[Phunkytown]

thats usually the time i try to let my tolerence reset... then blaze one the first day i awake feeling 100...

Alot of people talk about weed as if its some miracle cure-all that defeats all disease. Its horrible for your lungs if you smoke with a chest cold. Toking will take your mind off it but will make it last much longer and you will feel real shitty coming down. Alchohol in moderation is actually great for colds though, a little buzz is great and it acts as a decongestant

[junior420]

yeah i usualy take a shot or 2 of sum absolute vodka when i have a sore throat or any chest pain, at first it hurts like a bitch, but the pain resides

[Zonyc]

Think of it this way. Smoking is putting countless harmful substances into your lungs, which right now are trying to heal. If you had a cut on your finger, would you let it heal, or would you keep cutting it?

wow i didnt know that alchohol was good when you have a cold. ill have to tell that one to my girl friend. she is really sick right now. its some throat thing though. will it still help or should i have her smoke the m.j?

she says that a shot would hurt TOO much

[brentxzi]

If you're just chilling in bed edibles or vaporizing are great. Feel good, eat some healthy food and drink a lot of water, take a nap, repeat. I've had the flu for a week and I just started medicating yesterday, plan to keep it up till I get better.

[TormentedImp]

seriously tho, isnt it true that you get the munchies from your body being drained of nutrients? personally i make sure i take vitamins when im sick, your body needs nutrients so that your immune system is at full capacity


and whenever ive had a chest cold and smoked it definatly drags it on longer

if ur sick and you know it just quit for a week, and ull have no problems smoking when u get back plus its a nice little t-break

and unless the immune supporting nutrients come from the actual cannibinoids your inhaling i dont see how burnt plant matter could help u when ur sick

[Pink_Floyd]

Since I took up smoking weed, Iv smoked every time I had a cold.
If you like being high, you will like it weather you have a cold or not. So, if for some weird reason, you like the feeling of having a cold, don't toke. But if you're anything like me, then I suggest you do. Its not gonna make you sicker, its just going to make you feel high. You like feeling high dont ya? :stoned:

Actually weed is an immune system depressant which lowers your immune system and can get you worst. Also alcohol can dehydratate you and when you have a cold or the flu you need your immune system working to defeat the virus, plus you need to be well hydrated.
Pot has antibiotic properties, but antibiotics act only against bacterias and no viruses. The cold and the flu are viruses, only there is a cure for the flu(tamiflu) but for the cold there is no scientifically proven cure.

[bikeTripper]

Actually weed is an immune system depressant

Hmmm...

I've never seen anything to indicate this. Got anything to back this statement up?

[budlover13]

Whenever I'm sick, which was yesterday, I really just kind of play it by ear. Yesterday my problem was nausea, and smoking a bowl every 3-4 hours calmed it. I have a hard time smoking if I have a head cold where my sinuses are plugged. I still do it, because it helps me to stop concentrating on my sickness, but it can be pretty harsh sometimes. It's these times when I really don't want to smoke(like not wanting to take castor oil), but I know that it will have an overall positive effect.:stoned:
