    Hey GC

    I have asthma and I smoke weed pretty much daily. A month or two ago I went for a check-up and they made blow into this tube which tells them how hard I can blow air or some shit. But they suspect me of smoking and I need to be significantly better by the next check-up but I dont want to stop smoking weed:smoke:. I'm trying to use the bare minimum of tobacco in my spliffs and I use my pipe occasionally but I dont like it that much.

    They've given me this new inhaler as well which is supposedly really good. Anybody know what I can do that will help my asthma improve for the next check up which is in another 2-3 months?

    I have asthma also and it only triggers if i smoke a few joints or a few bowls after awhile.
    The only way i combat this is i use my vapor bowl on my bong instead of burning it, I usually have no problems after just vaporizing for awhile.

    Vapourisers mean you aren't breathing in smoke.

    Or the best option for you, edibles. Get baking :)

    There's some really easy recipies, something about putting it in peanut butter and putting the peanut butter in the oven. I'll look for it.

    EDIT: They're called firecrackers.

    Cannabis is great for asthma, but you need to lay off the tobacco.

    Word. Just stop using spliffs and smoke joints, or use a bong, or a pipe, or a vape (without tobacco, obviously). I don't even understand why some people put tobacco in, something about it "burning better"?
