Alright guys, so the other day i went to a friends house to buy some bud, he usually has samples of the stuff and the names and everything, so out of the three of them i picked this stuff that was called lavender. This is some one hit stuff guys, so i bought an 8th. When i get home i'm all excited to add it to my old stash jar that i hadn't used in probably over a year, so i washed it out/dried it and let it sit open for a min to make sure it was dry. As i was sitting waiting, after i had put some music on, i noticed my old box of pipes/dugouts/resin supplies and all that, so i opened it up to check it out. It's cool how sometimes you store stuff away for a rainy day, then forget about it and it's like awesome! As i was going through my old stuff, the Green Yellow and Red caught my eye, it was my old see through dugout that i had bought and it still had some bud in the bottom of it. In the excitement i immediately got the bat out, scrapped the bottom of the dugout with it, and got a full pipe out of it. I took it outside on my back porch for a big hit, and as i lit it up it tasted kinda funky, I cleared it after two hits, so it was really full, but i tried lighting it a 3rd time and sucked in the ash from it . Anyway, both times i hit it, it tasted really funky, but i did get really stoned. But the day after, i woke up with a fever of 100, and a terrible cough, its been two days, and earlier today i had a fever again, it's gone down, but i still have this terrible cough, and i hack stuff up, but there's no color to it. I'm worried that maybe it was moldy bud or something, i should have just smoked my lavender, and i haven't even gotten to smoke it yet because i'm sick and feel really hot, and this cough would be a bitch to be really stoned with, i literally cough every min. What do you guys think? I'm guessing it was moldy bud or something, haha, i shouldn't get that excited about this stuff should i...
I'm pretty sure that if you inhale mold, it will keep growing in your lungs. Which is bad, of course. But this is disproved if you're torching the mold with a butane flame...honestly I'd be worried if I were you. But don't seek professional help and be like "OMG DOCTER I SMOKED BAD WEED" you might get in some trouble..
Haha, there's such thing as patient confidentiality, so you can tell your doctor absolutely anything, and this is what i'm worried about. A fungal/bacterial infection. Fever is a symptom, but i'm not sure about how much pain i'd be having. And this will lead to pneumonia if it is what i think it is. That's why i'm worried, but i did torch it pretty good, but i inhaled the ash. And damn right i'm not smoking that stuff again. Haha, any tips on how to clean a dugout?
wouldnt the weed be moldy only if you left it sitting there wet for a long time? ive had those symptons before, took about a week for the cough to go away but i was fine.
You inhaled toxic mold man. And now you're probably poisoned. Does your eyes itch? mold poisoning can give you that
holy shit dude, kinda. I have no allergies though. I'm mostly worried about pneumonia, i might go to my doctor, but it's always so expensive. I'll wait it out , and if i don't feel better i'll go in.
Haha, i'll pencil you into my will. "To riverroadjack, i leave all of the contents inside my stash jar, and what's left from inside my grinder/kief chamber."
Mold requires water to grow so unless it was in a wet or damp area then no. The buds moisture will just dry up not get moldy. Especially that small of an amount. You good bro
Hey thanks man. That makes me feel a bit better haha. By the way man, we have similar favorites, i'm an Indica fan too, I like Blue Dog though, and i like passing a small glass bowl around
No problem man and no need to panic. Blue dog sounds good man. I don't mind bowls.. especially glass. As long as its some fire haha!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but weed can still get mouldy or hold bacteria even when dry and left out for long. I hit some bud that was one year old. I knew there was a chance of it getting me sick, but I was so desperate. Well, I woke up the next day sick as fuck. Had a lung infection for 2 weeks, started off like a cold, but kept getting worse and worse. At one point every time I breathed it, my lungs would gargle, because of all the mucus in them from the infection. Start eating healthy foods that will help aid your recovery (look them up) and hope for the best. I got prescribed antibiotics on towards the end of week 2, but I decided to stay to natural foods to help cure me. I got better, but man it was harsh. Don't smoke old weed if you don't have to. Actually, even if your desperate, don't smoke old weed that hasn't been stored properly.
But how much did you actually smoke? I just had that little one hitter full, and i took two funky hits. I'm not even sure if it was moldy man, it just tasted funky, and it had been in there since who knows when..Yeah this cough is bad.
Subscribing to this thread to follow your progress man. I really feel for your situation, as its a mistake any of us could make. If I were desperate, I wouldn't have thought twice about using some old bud that's been lying around. I hope you get better man and that this doesn't turn out to be anything too serious. Peace bro, one love.
I smoked like 2 or 3 puffs from a J, I stopped as it just tasted kinda bad. A microscopic amount is enough to get you sick, since anything you breathe into your lungs is transferred into your blood stream. For example, a tiny ass mosquito bite can give someone full-blown Malaria, and if not treated, can lead to death... Just because of the tiny Malaria micro-organism coming into contact with your blood. Sadly, same is for bacterias and viruses, a microscopic amount is enough to get you sick. Just seriously try fill your body with what it needs ASAP: a great natural remedy for colds & flus is to boil fresh thyme in water for 8-10 minutes, strain it, and drink it as a tea. You can have 2 or 3 cups a day, or even just one if one helps. Intake loads of green veggies. Intake loads of cold-busting fruit. Take multivitamins. Put lots of garlic in your food. Just search all the super-foods for busting colds and flus and lung infections, I promise you it is the way to go, rather than over-the-counter medicine. I healed my lung infection naturally. If it starts to get terrible, then see a doctor and see what they say. Even though when I went to the doc, they prescribed me antibiotics, I still didn't take them, as the day after I noticed myself getting better. Sucks man. Hope u get well soon.
