Cough due to Marijuana Smoking - insight needed

[Biggins]

Smoking less blunts will help, the tobacco leaf can rip havoc on your lungs. My buddy gets respiratory infections if he smokes too many.
Fewer joints would also help, given they are the same type of material (unless you use cellulose but I don't like those papers that much myself).

Just stick to glass or get a vaporizer if you can afford it. Keep the bong for when you have friends over and your pipes for on the go or a quickie.

Biggins Reviewed by Biggins on 11-19-2007. Cough due to Marijuana Smoking - insight needed I am a daily smoker and have been for years. I've noticed that in the past few months I have developed a cough. It basically comes while I am talking and is usually accompanied by phlegm. Obviously I don't like it - does anybody else experience this? any insight would be appreciated. I am thinking about drastically cutting down my use becuase of this. again, any insight would be nice - thanks all. Rating: 5

I, only, smoke out of steamrollers, and, get this when I don't smoke herb because of cigarettes.

My lungs feel very clean with a steamroller.

[asphyyxiate]

how long have you had your cough? and how much phlegm is there in a normal day? oh and how long have you been smoking?

haha, just some questions to see how serious it is!

I'm back. I've had the cough for months now. I've been a daily smoker for 3-4 yrears now. And it only comes when I'm having a conversation (so, continuous talking, not just one sentence). I feel phlegm coming up and feel the need to cough. It's simply gross. I might go for the vape finally. Please anybody who owns one, talk more about it and your experiences with it. Is the high really a lot milder? Thanks

As you would expect, my lungs were a mess! I got a little Vapor Bros Hands free and used it exclusively for 2 weeks. My cough was TOTALLY GONE! It was worth every penny I spent on it- and I'm low income. Plus, you also get a huge reduction in odor, a vape is more efficient (you use less pot), and the "duff" can be used to "improve" brownies! Get a vape! - Granny:hippy:

Is duff the leftover weed after vaping?

Im a heavy user, and an everyday user. I dont have a cough - sometimes i'll get a tickle and cough up a bit of phlem, but thats not often.

Maybe im lucky - my chest has been getting better and better since i quit the cigs - weed doesnt adversely effect me like that - maybe my years and years of 40 ciggies a day made my lungs stronger - or less receptive.

yeah it pretty much is milder. some say they prefer it because it is more energetic with less burn-out. I can achieve a sufficient plateau if I vape enough, but it's no more efficient than smoking. Honestly, normally after I vape some, I feel the need for more, and usually end up firing a bowl. But if I had plenty of time, I could vape all day and not ever smoke really.

Vapes come in especially handy if you're doing it for medical purposes, or in your case, a gentler time for the lungs. If your cough really bothers you, and you're exercising enough, a vape is probably a good decision. You'll feel the need to smoke anyway, and you can get away with smoking occasionally and still avoid chronic cough. Since you have the persistent cough, I say go for it. Get a vape that allows you to put the whip on the heat element and it will stay there. Usually it's phrased by "hands-free" or "glass-on-glass." Like I said before, those ones usually cost $100-$200

I'm a busy mom of two so "energetic and less burn-out" sounds good to me!! I basically don't want to give up smoking b/c I love it but don't want to compromise my health either. Uggh!
I wouldn't mind more insight though on people owning a vape and their experiences with it!! Thanks!!!!!

i have been smokeing now for a year, and in the last month ive also gotten a cough, now i have a cold, so im wondering if it was just a really long and minor infection which lead to my cold now-that being said, i live in toronto and the weather is going bat shit insane.

my big worry is weezing, i have no trouble breathing in the slightest, but when i inhale sometimes i hear a slight weeze, but only when i inhale in a particular way, so maybe im just over reacting... who knows, ill stick to my vapourizer for a while...
