can't get rid of sickness help!

Discussion in 'Beginner Cannabis Consumption & Tips' started by clarko, Jan 30, 2010.

  1. So I got sick with a repiratory infection a couple weeks ago. Went and got antibiotics and cough syrup, smoked every day through it and at the very end of the antibiotics I still had a light cough, then in the next couple of days I was deathly sick again. So I go back and I get super strong antibiotics. 5th day on them and I'm still sick and coughing like crazy. Still smoking too.... Do you all think the large amount of daily toking is making me not get well? Don't really wanna lay off the bud....
     
  2. HAHAHAAHA shame man sorry to here but dont you think its kinda stupid to smoke while trying to cure a cough, just saying, anyway good luck and dont fuck around with antibiotics, do it properly the first time, because once youve used the strongest one there isnt a way out:smoking:
     
  3. Herb usually cures any illness that comes my way, but thats just me :smoking: even with soar throats it seems to help
     
  4. dude i have the same thing now for the last week and a half....but i completely stopped smoking to try and help it but still nothing....my god it sucks
     
  5. Well all smokers of anything have respiratory issues. Even though weed is better for you then tobacco, its still definitely not good unless you have a condition which it is prescribed for. The weed might have had mold on it, but the chances of that are low and you would have had other more serious symptoms. Respiratory infections cause scars in your lungs as they heal. Those scars take time to form, but once they do the infection should be gone. Introducing smoke into the lungs while the scars are being formed is simply going to prolong the healilng process. My suggestion would be either cook some hash brownies or get a vape. I think a vape would at least be better than a bong or whatever.
     
  6. Antibiotics never worked for me, I've had chest infections (as a kid, I wasn't smoking anything)
    and had round after tound of antibiotics.

    Try getting washing up bowl of hot water, and breathing in the steam, with a towel over you and the bucket. It should help break up the mucus.
     
  7. I'd ease up (if not halt completely) on the smoking. Edibles and vaporizing is all I will touch if I am sick. I don't care what anyone says, smoking ANYTHING while you are sick is NOT good for you and may only prolong the sickness as well as increase the severity of your symptoms.
     
  8. A nice strong cocktail usually fixes me up, or two.. then three.. four.. well the point is I feel good afterward.
     
  9. nahh man. I know my weed and nothings moldy ;)

    but I WISH I had a vape or my own house to make an edible sooooo bad. But I really don't. Can't wait til I move out I'll have a volcano vape and everything I eat will be special. I've also got asthma probably won't help the issue. But I'm just going to stay warm and try to take my vitamin c and stuff and hope I can get over it while smoking too. If not, I guess I'll straighten up and try to get an edible connect. :(
     
  10. ^100th post!
    Also, get some of those effervescent tablets with LOADS of vitamins in them. The ones with like 8 timed your guideline daily intake of vitamin C in them. seriously, those make you feel awesome.
     
  11. Haha.. I usually smoke to get rid of any illnesses. How about cooking instead of smoking? You still get high, and it'll be more likely to help your throat than it would if you smoked it.
     
  12. I smoke usually when Im sick. It probably doesnt help you get better faster but it sure does make you feel much better.

    If you have the option of using a vaporizer or even better edibles when sick it makes a world of difference. Smoking with a cough is bad.
     
  13. Did you ever stop to think you might be allergic?
     
  14. clean your pipe man.

    when im really sick I find that I cant keep drinking the same drink for more than a few hours. it takes so much longer for me to get better. you probably never thought to disinfect your piece after each sesh. you wouldn't kiss another sick person would you? then why smoke after one?
     
  15. so I can get myself sick?


    no because that would suck! But honestly how can I test this?
     
  16. Well I mean every time you try to smoke it seems you get hives...that sounds like an allergic reaction to me. unless I misunderstood.
     
  17. I dont know, im not a doctor. I always felt like if I drank after myself for too long that I would just get sicker. But its obvious you haven't been doing something right. You should probably cut out that smoking until you get better dude. It cant be helping with a respiratory infection.
     
  18. Who said anything about hives?
     
  19. i swear i read something about hives...unless it was another thread...lol?
