Hello people of cannabis boards.
I'm resurrecting this thread in hope that someone can give some advice / input on my problem. Here I go:

About 18 months ago, after a pretty serious bleeding crisis one night, I was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Been hospitalized for one month, than followed treatment for 6 months. As soon as the treatment stopped, I started to feel sick again and some minor bleedings occurred again. Been hospitalized again for another month. This time they found out that it was chemo resistant TB so I switched to harder drugs, for a one year period of time. After one year and a half, I just finished my treatment this month so I guess I can now say I'm leaving all this behind. I'm all good now, starting to do some light workout everyday to get back in shape.

Until all this had occurred I was a smoker for 9 years (one pack a day). Towards the period when I got sick I was carrying a messy life that involved heavy partying, alcohol, cigarettes, occasional joints (3 a month or so), bad meals and little sleep. Actually, this way of life is what got me this disease.

Needles to say, from the moment I got sick I changed my life completely. I quit smoking immediately. I'm now trying to get 8 hours of sleep every night, eat healthy, avoid alcohol and other bad things out there. The thing that I didn't put out completely though is MJ. In the last year I smoked about 5-6 times, so about 1 time every 2 months or so. Anyway, I never want to do that again as I realize even that frequency of this habit won't do any good to my lungs. I tried edibles which are fine but sometimes it's a complete headache to cook them.

So I have been studying vaporizers for a while now over the internet. Haven't tried out one yet but I'm planning to get one. However, since it involves getting something down in my lungs and giving my recent experience with the disease, I wonder If it's the right way to go. Note that I'll be getting high about twice a week or so. Not a daily habit for me. What I'm looking for is the Magic Flight Launch Box -http://magic-flight.com/ a small portable vaporizer that seems to get the job done fast, easy and efficient.

So I'd like to carry on with this habit and enjoy this wonder plant but I'm wondering If I'm jeopardizing my health by doing so.
Note that I researched the vaporizers thing quite a bit now, so I pretty much know everything about them and their effects on lungs, etc. However, this is a specific situation and maybe someone with a similar problem can give some advice.

On another hand, I researched quite a bit and found out that Cannabis is one of the strongest antibacterial plants. In fact, in the 1930s tuberculosis and a good hand of other diseases were cured using various concoctions of this plant. Moreover, tuberculosis treatment often involves vapor inhalation of specific plants and plant oils. So maybe there could be a positive side of this matter?

I know this is a long story and a lot of information, but this thread is one of the most specific and comprehensive ones that I found on the whole web. We even have a doctor's input here so maybe someone can help me out.

Given my situation, will I be doing any damage to my lungs vaporizing Cannabis about 2 times a week?

many thanks,
peace

Vaporizers- negative respiratory effects This past spring, after getting bronchitis twice in 6 months, I was proud to post here that I had quit smoking and had purchased a vapor-bros vaporizer! Although I felt much better since (less coughing etc) I still managed to develop bronchitis this past October. I fought it for a few weeks and got well. Now the end of November, I have bronchitis again... I kinda want to know if anyone has ever heard of negative effects from a vape (hopefully birdgirl is around, she knows much about Rating: 5
