!Important! Cough up Blood Question

Hello everyone,

I have been smoking weed for 4 and a half years. The last year or two I smoked at least one blunt ( .8 of a gram about) of weed a day. This is pretty much when I started to notice that every once in a while I would cough up a speck of blood. I used to smoke cigarettes now and then and stopped having them for the last 6 months. I would cough up little specks of blood in the morning after nights of partying. Not like every time but sometimes. I bought my own pipe after a while, which although it was glass was small and harsh and burned the shit out of my throat/lungs.

Since the blood worried me and after a while my throat and tonsils started to feel irritated, I bought a sick bong from the grasscity shop. After a little while my carbon filter that I bought from grasscity came in the mail. Here's where it gets weird. Although i thoroughly rinsed my petco activated carbon and let it air dry outside twice, I felt like I was coughing up blood more often and in bigger amounts after using it. My left tonsil (the one that has a hole in it, common problem with people) would be quite irritated even more-so than before I had bongs with carbon filters. The last time I coughed up blood, it wasn't dark and a little spec like the other times, it was a bigger, "strand" of bright red fresh blood. The time before that it was 2 to 3 times more specks of blood than usual. Both of these times are within the first week of using the carbon filter.

This scared me shitless. I have always been an allergic person my whole life, and I have been reading up on the stories of people that were diagnosed with emphysema after 6 years of only smoking pot (never smoked a cigarette). I have thrown out all my smoking paraphernalia and am smoking a lot less. Im waiting on my doctors call back as we speak.

So... What do you guys think? This is a big deal... not because its happening to me but quite a few weed tokers have these problems; arent we trying to find out exactly how safe or unsafe smoking (not vaping) a lot really is?

- Maybe its because I was always more allergic and physically sensitive to things like dander, dust, mold, pollen, etc... (used to get allergy shots)
- Maybe its because of the durations and quantities that I was smoking... (every day for a couple years and everyone I smoked with gave me the award for biggest hit taker hands down, if i took a hit i made it my duty every time for it to be a nice big one)
- Maybe its because its finally time for me to get my tonsils removed...
- Maybe it was the carbon (flaming embers constantly went through glass screen into carbon)
- Or maybe its something totally unrelated to smoking thats causing irritation in my left tonsil and making me cough blood.

Oh and BTW aside from having allergies thats about it for my ailments. Never had asthma, or breathing, throat, or tonsil trouble.

Thanks blades for all of your feedback and input.

 

word, thanks

 

bro r u kidding me? I already got the cash for it and was already thinking about it! I'm literally THIS close to buying a fucking vapor bros.

 

Well, it wasn't like a cough. It was more like me just feeling shit in my throat that I know I wanna hack up. I rarely cough when I smoke weed, but every morning or after blazing it would only be normal for me to feel it and purpously hack to get it out.
