I'm asthmatic, too, and smoking did a number on my lungs as well. I could tell it personally long before I read in medical literature that it was harmful. You'll still find plenty of uninformed people who'll try to tell you the opposite is true--and certainly there are lucky people who don't experience trouble from cannabis--but for most of us wheezers, it's not good to add further irritation to those airways. If and when I ever return to cannabis, I'm going to vape it.

Gosh, Mseerob, so sorry you were an "inmate" for nearly a week! Glad you survived your asthma attack. Did they send you home with a nebulizer if you didn't already have one at home? Are you giving your lungs some exercise now with your incentive spirometer? Hospitals are very boring. I had to spend three and a half days in one about 8 weeks ago and was ready to jump out the window by the end of the first evening. Glad you're back with us!
