Asthma, Acid Reflux + Cannabis
Try a break from bud and see if it helps your particular symptoms. Everyone's different, and while you may be likely to hear from other members assuring you with numerous abstracts from research studies (which you won't be able to read the real study data behind) that cannabis is nothing but beneficial for asthma or GERD, the truth is whole cannabis smoke isn't good for your lungs or your esophagus. It's an irritant to your airways and probably to your esophagus, too. In this report I link below, synthetic marijuana-like compounds seemed to ease relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter in animals, meaning they had a positive effect on GERD in mice, but those compounds aren't the same thing as real whole, inhaled cannabis smoke and they weren't human studies. So we can't say how it affects humans. Same thing with what other abstracts may say because the abstracts you're likely to see nearly always address how THC or CBDs, the isolated active compounds, affect study subjects (like mice), not whole cannabis smoke.

I had lots of extra asthma trouble when I smoked and also found it an aggravator of heartburn and acid indigestion. I always produced more mucus and had worse allergic trouble, too, after smoking, but I dealt with that with low doses of Benadryl. When I return to cannabis use someday, I'lll vape. My older sister had a terrible time with GERD during her cannabis-using phase, too, but she had a burned, ulcerated esophagus from chemotherapy and we couldn't ever really know how much of that was chemo and how much was cannabis. Quitting smoking did seem to improve her digestive irritation, though. At least for a time. But she also quit the chemo at about the same time, so we'll never really know.birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Asthma, Acid Reflux + Cannabis I've had seasonal asthma (during the springtime) for many years now, and I've always been able to stop taking albuterol and other allergy pills when the spring ended. About 1 or 2 months ago, I noticed that I felt like I wasn't getting a full lung of air, and I had ungodly amounts of mucus just glued to my throat that was difficult to bring up. ( I would cough, hack, grunt, snort, etc. ) I got it checked out many times and was prescribed antibiotics, then later allergy medicine, and Rating: 5[SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
