high while sick?

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by samanthax3x, Mar 17, 2010.

  1. Hey everyone... just woke up (on st patty's day of all days!!) with a 102 fever and sore throat (pretty sure its strep throat). Now that i decided im not in any mood to drink, i was wondering if getting high and smoking out of a pipe is okay to do while im sick like this or else ill be bored all day. Obviously i would like to smoke lol but i wanted to ask if there was some dire consequence of me smoking while i have what feels like strep throat. Sorry if i sound dumb i didnt know where else to ask!..

    Thanks for the help and answers in advance! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
     
  2. Getting high could help with nausea and might assist in breaking a fever but it will more than likely make your throat feel worse.
     
  3. if you want to smoke and have nothing but a pipe put an icecube in your mouth so its cooler, or chew some mint gum, its amazing :hello: other than the temp of smoke it shouldnt hurt at all, maybe even help.
     
  4. Ive smoked through many sicknesses I think it helps.
     
  5. I'd go for it, just don't take massive hits. Also, a shot of whiskey or vodka is great for sore throats (for me anyway!)

    Better idea yet, make a firecracker!
     
  6. Thanks guys... after i smoke ill just drink water for now, but who knows theres ice cold crown in my freezer haha maybe just a shot or two :)
     
  7. Do it. And you can take bigger hits with a sore throat...you won't feel a thing
     
  8. for sure, it makes it better because it numbs your throat out and you forget youre even sick..so there may be hope for you to get smashed tonight after all! lmao
     
  9. When I have a sore throat and want to smoke, I hold a cough drop in my mouth the entire time I'm smoking. Seems to help.
     
  10. heres the thing it helps some people massively but some people get a sinus infectioin and a headache so just try it its diffrent for everybody :)
     
  11. Yah i just woke up with a sore throat and a headache. Home from school and i'm about to light a bowl.
     
  12. You may feel a little better. It certainly won't hurt, and at least you'll have a good time while being sick.
     

  13. You still get sick?

    I can't recall getting sick since getting back on the pot ~1 year ago. I used to get sick constantly (throat and sinus infections mainly) and would never be able to shake it.
     
  14. i smoked when i had a really bad flu, i had a high temperature, sore throat, blocked nose etc.
    I found that smoking when I was ill, while it didn't have an adverse effects in the longer term, it was very uncomfortable on the throat and being high helped clear up a few aspects of my illness.
    vaporising was a completely different matter, vaping bud cleared out my blocked nose, didn't affect my throat in the slightest and while i was high i just completely forgot that i was ill and generally felt much better.

    so yeah vaping while high is amazing, smoking is alright.
    so yeah,
     
  15. Go for it! Just make sure to clean your piece when you're done!

    If you smoke cigarettes, smoking menthol does wonders for a sore throat. Last time I was coming down with something and my throat was sore as hell all day I had a menthol cigarette and it felt smooth for hours and hours.
     
  16. Suppose it depends on symptoms, but with your illness i would say it should be ok in small amounts but dont smoke joints at all or you will make your self worse.
    When i was ill (chest infection) i used to cook hash with fatty milk and yogurt because i couldnt smoke and it made feel much better and recovered quickly too.:cool:
     
  17. Feelin' better? I bet you are! lol (Assuming you took a few puffs, a few shots and forgot all about your cold!) ;)
     
  18. dont do it u will probaly just end up sick and high
     
  19. just sleep or watch tv. i had a fever with strep throat and i smoked all day. it sort of hurts your throat, and when your high you feel dizzy high and to me it didnt feel very good. just wait it out and get high once you feel better
     
  20. Haha yepp ive been taking bowl hits all day and im fine... still sickk... but at least im high :)

    Just about bedtime.. thanks again everyone.. happy smoking!
