Well, im out of my gourd and was inspired after sneezing and coughing up a nice chunk of darkened lung butter to ask this question of fellow tokers. On this lovely color scale I created, how dark is the phlegm you cough up? 1 being the lightest, 10 the darkest:
Probably the second lighest one. I only smoke bud and use very little paper or use a bowl and don't smoke a lot at once bc it's not needed. Though I have friends whos lungs are most likely 2 more shades after the last one
3.5 ish.... Been smoking since about 9/2006 NOTHING before that, and I smoke on average 3 cigs a day so its not too bad. I smoke like 4 bowls of dank out of my pipe daily, I need to switch to a water pipe because the bong is cumbersome to use all the time.
^ haha extra crispy, you must loooove the smoke. i would say mine is at about 2-4 ish because i cant be accurate. i only smoke herb and usually a pretty conservative amount, i really dont need alot to get a buzz goin even with high tolerance. Plus the few cigs that ill have every now anddddddddddd then are prolly all but healed by now
Been smoking cigs and herb for about 6-7 years now I think. Usually a pack a day along with an 8th. So what do you guys think? Do I really deserve the 7 I gave myself?
my lungs are clean because I don't smoke cigarettes.. you cough marijuana tar out of your lungs with mucous right after smoking
Not too dark. Does the darkness of phlegm totally correspond to the darkness of my lungs? Nevertheless, with only a few years of occasional smoking I don't know how black my lungs are... I wonder if there's a way I could get it checked without surgery, that would be cool to see how damaged they are, and maybe how long they'd take without smoking to naturally clear up! I don't smoke cigarettes or anything either so I'm sure they're not that bad
Would you have to like, drink barium or something? Wait, no, that's gastric ulcers. Would dark lungs show up on X-ray even? Hm... That's something to look into. I don't know if it's worth the extra radiation. Next time I'm at my doctor I'll ask if there's a way to check lung damage.
An x-ray will show the darkness on your lungs,a little lead skirt to protect your nuts and click,,a pic of your lungs. BTW I smoked ciggs for 30 years,I'm sure I'm a 10,on the plus side,I quit smoking a month ago.I've been doing a lot of vaping,so hopefully my lungs will clear a bit.
