When I smoke a lot, I tend to develop a cough caused by my body trying to get rid of an excess mucus build-up, and it'll last for about 3 days after smoking.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Now that I think about it, it's only been happening as I've been inhaling the smoke and holding it down for a long time. Maybe I should just stop holding it in as long?
lol.... probally dont hold it in as long... there really is no need to hold it in long thc abosrobs immideiatly.... anyway try not smoking soo much.... just like once or twice a day for awhile.. anyway ull get better highs!!.. p3ac3 :D :thumbsup:
try smoking only about twice a day, your highs will become much more powerful and will last alot longer...Quote:

Dude! GET A VAPORIZER!!! I got a little Vapor Brothers for about $150 (inc. S&H) and it was the best thing I've done for me in years! After 1 week, my cough was GONE! Pot goes WAY further with a vape! I use half the pot and get twice the stone! AND the leftover pot will still get you high if you cook with it! ( Brownies! YUMMMMM) You can't beat it! You don't need to blow $500 on a volcano- this little VB works quite well IMHO. The high is a little different from smoking- you aren't getting those burnt byproducts- it's not quite as "heavy" feeling and there's less flavor, but you will have no doubt, that you are stoned. Do some research on the boards and I think you'll get a vaporizer. This old crow knows what she's talking about!
After spending some time on another board, I think I will sell my hookah to one of my friends and get a vaporizer. I was thinking about getting this one, but as i've never seen or bought one before i was interested in what you guys think about his:Quote:

That's the same one I got. I'm very low income, so I shopped around. Check out discountworldonline.com Mine was $139.99 plus 14.57 S&H. I got good service from them (emails for "order received" and a "shipping notice"-it was sent the next day after the "order received"). There is a learning curve when using it, so give it a week. When you clean it, "el cheapo" vodka makes the glass shine like new. Stash the vodka and any tar you scrape out for a rainy day stash. You can eventially evaporate the vodka and get an oily substance that is kick-ass. The tar is harsh, but gets your head. You even get a free sample of a herbal mixture (mine's still sitting on a shelf).:p I think you are going to be one happy camper in about 2 weeks.
I stopped drinking milk and dairy products permanently 8 months ago.
That is the number one source of mucus in the body.
Dont notice that effect anymore.
The number one source of mucus is the mucosal linings (so-called mucus membranes) of our insides, from our mouths, nose and eyes throughout our lungs, stomach, and gut, reproductive and other organs.
Anyone with a healthy, hydrated body with a functioning immune system has to produce certain amounts of mucus to live healthily. It protects those mucosal tissues throughout the body from dryness and irritation/infection. If weed is increasing your mucus production, it's probably because you get some irritation from it and are having what's called a histamine response, which causes your mucus membranes to secrete more mucus in defense of the irritation. You can take a slight anti-histamine like Benadryl to dry up some of that secretion. You can cough to clear it. Or try taking it in some other form like vaporizing or eating it.
(Milk is indeed a highly muco-genic food, but foods and irritants of all sorts can also be muco-genic.)
