Can pot help one feel better whilst enduring the common cold? Will it reduce the interference of a runny nose or a sore throat?
Thanks.

hell yeah it will make you feel better. not only does it get you 10 times as stoned when your sick, but it clears up your congestion. it also has anti inflammatory effects.
you'll cough like hell, but thats the only way to get the bad shit out
do it man i do it all the time
As much as we all like to deny it, Weed is not a multivitamin that will help everything. It's a proven fact that weed weakins the immune system. Im not sayin dont' smoke, because god knows i smoked when i had mono and strep throat at the same time. It will most likely make you feel better, but it will probably make you stay sick longer.
I must agree with the "you stay sick longer" comment...but i can tell that once it's gone (the flu) don't expect it to come back any time soon! and it's true you feel better only WHILE your high...Quote:

There has been many of times,including about 2 weeeks ago where i had a major cold,smoked and it helped me breathe easier.I heard somewhere that smoking herb while sick helps open the broncial vessils and the air passage.Not sure if this is true but is sure helped me.Please dont flame me because im new LoL.Just putting in my 2 cent.LOL Peace,Good herb,and good Karma too you all.DGF :D :thumbsup:
I find that right after takin a rip my nose will run, making it easier to blow my nose, but at the same time it makes taking that rip a whole lot more painful because ur lungs hurt like a sonofabitch. It helps loosen phlegm in the chest because it dialates the bronchial tubes. It also really only helps while ur high because u feel like shit still whilst u arent under the influence <img src="http://cdn.news.aol.com/aolnews_photos/08/02/20051207142209990005">
during the winter after i smoke i get really congested, dont know why. Even though there is no proof of weed weakening your immune system, I would go ahead and say it does based on personal experience. I always get a bad cold during the winter months, and it gets harder and harder to kick if I smoke a lot. That's just me though, and Im fucked .
youll feel bwtter but you will probably take longer to heal
do it, you will feel better and it wont take longer to get better. it will probably take the same amount of time. maybe even less
how come getting high somehow "weakens your immune system" while the drugs the doctors give you will always make you healthier 100% of the time guaranteed.
its all bull shit
people have been using weed for medical and other problems for thousands of years, but when its gets criminalized its all of the sudden the worst thing you can do.
i say just bake some funny brownies or something and chill in front of the TV. that, i can guarantee will make you feel better no matter what the government says.
or just go to sleep, or both, its up to you
Look at all the factors contributing to neuroprotective cells from smoking weed. 4,000% melatonin boost. Cannabinoid receptors interact with the Hippocampus to create neuroprotective cells. Look at my signature.
Cannabis boosts immunity in several ways.
I have a pretty bad bronchitis / chest cold right now and I am still toking about three times a day, like always. However, I am using this illness as motivation to kick cigarettes cold turkey!
