Smoking on a sore throat

Hey, I'm new here. I mainly joined to ask this question.

It might seem like a stupid question, but will smoking weed significantly slow down the recovery of a sore throat? I've had the flu for the past few days and seem to be getting better, but I still have a pretty raw throat. Obviously smoking would feel really harsh on my throat, but will it make it take longer to get better?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Yes, it will take much longer to get better but when you are high you will feel a lot better.

I think that is correct, because i had a cold and smoked daily still and the cold lasted well over 3 weeks, but when i was high i didnt feel bad at all, so it all evens out i guess.

To put it in a doctors terms, Take cough medicine and sore throat stuff, smoke weed, and drink plenty of water.

if your throat is really sore, like if it is extremely hard to swallow, without it hurting, it makes it worse, especially if you use a filter or use a bong. smoke a filterless spliff and it'll be good..

if your sick dont smoke with other people cause thats how i always get sick

smoking with throat conditions is a hard trade-off. either bask in the euphoria (and sometimes even clearing the phlegm) of the nasal cavities being caressed by THC, whilst slowing down the process of throat healing, and even contributing to the mucus level while most likely further aggrivating it by some coughing while smoking.

oh, by the way... most will recommend bong usage while battling a throat condition. cooled water is preferable.

what exactly are you talking about? I read a 7 page FAQ on how THC is registered in the body and knowhere do i recall the mention of there being thc receptors in your nose, therefore having THC anywhere near your nose does absolutely nothing. I could be wrong....but i doubt it, it was a pretty professionally done article with research to back up the statements

the THC can lead to relaxed, opened nasal passages.

If you have the ability, cook the weed with something. That solves the throat problem plus it will numb the pain.

of course it wil.... evn smokin cigs wil. i had swollen glands+was on medication and the first batch of pills made no difference 2 my throat cuz i was smokin bt i started on the 2nd batch+my throat cleared up within 3days
