Xerostomia is sometimes colloquially called pasties or cottonmouth, the latter especially when occurring as a side effect, primarily after smoking marijuana or during a hangover.

Xerostomia can cause difficulty in speech and eating. It also leads to halitosis and a dramatic rise in the number of cavities, as the protective effect of saliva is no longer present, and can make the mucosa of the mouth more vulnerable to infection. Notably, a symptom of methamphetamine abuse, meth mouth, is largely caused by xerostomia.

Cotten mouth: A term used to desrcibe the dry mouth that happens after smoking MJ can be very annoying like newbs who ask dumb questions

Drinking milk would stop it because the milk is suspended fat in water, which would coat the mouth, tounge, throat.

you mean drink milk before or after smoking?

^^^^^^^^ shut the hell up man.. he is askeing a question.. so what if it has been done, not everyone is going to go thru every post b4 they get on here and post something and not think that its already been talked about, i bet most questions have been already awnsered that alot of people ask everyday, so what? if we asked a different question on every single post, we would run out of things to do eventually, right? and you have been a member on this site for like what? 4, 5 days at most? dont fuckin call ppl newbies.. your an idiot. he just asked a question and if you dident like it you dident have to read or post anything.

I know that if you smoke pot you get cotton mouth. What i was wondering is that if you smoke cotton will you get marijuana mouth?

dai*ma:stoned:

Milk is awesome when you're high! Drinking water, pop, beer... yeah, that'll quench your thirst for a few seconds, but milk does a body good. :D Ok, insert cheesy line there.

It really does work at solving the cotton mouth problem.

I was reading this thread and thinking hmm sort of a dumb question but valid and then i went back and misread the question as why do you get cottonmouth...after correcting my thought i began to ponder that my self. yea i know our saliva glands dry up and crap but why do that happen with weed. it happens when you run and exercise because of dehydration; your body sends the fluid to other places like sweat glands... however when i smoke i dont tend to sweat a lot of produce much of any fluid. any have an answer for me or am i over thinking all this crap?

I chew gum. I don't mind cottonmouth, I just hate smokey breath.
