Effects on asthma?

[Lethal G]

Sup yall,

I was wondering if anyonwe here knew anything about the effects of cannabis on asthma. I am an asthma patient (with quite severe asthma, at that) and am also a moderate user of cannabis. I personally notice for about a week after a joint my asthma seems a bit less active. I am already on several meds for asthma (singulair, flovent, albuterol). MJ however does seem to help quite a bit along with these.

What I am really curious about is whether or not anyone here has any sources on the studies of cannabis effects on asthma? I realize other studies suggest in favor of cannabis being harmless (such as the recent cannabis study in California pertaining to lung cancer). However, I would be interested to know what the studies have found. Thanks.

Here's a pretty site:

ASTHMA TREATMENTS-SMOKING CANNABIS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO 80% OF ASTHMA VICTIMS. TAKING A HIT OF MARIJUANA HAS BEEN KNOWN TO STOP A FULL BLOWN ASTHMA ATTACK. CANNABIS TREATMENTS COULD REPLACE THE HARMFUL DRUGS NOW USED

It doesn't look like you'll find much more, there. You can check it out. You need to be a member, I think.

Before Prohibition, Cannabis was used for Asthma.

Lots of folks on here will tell you how helpful weed is for asthma and even have links to studies to back that up, but that's not the case for me. It's been rough on mine, no matter how high the quality of what I smoke. I probably need to take it in some other form, but basically what I've done is stop smoking. Glad it's been helpful in your case, however! There's apparently a lot of evidence that it can be. I just know that that's not always true.

The phycoactive THC dialates the throat and bronical tubes therefore helping asthma patients.

smoke weed, and you'll be better, but DONT smoke tobacco.
