  1. One of my lungs collapsed a little while ago and although the hole has healed up and air that leaked out is has almost completely been absorbed, the specialist I saw today says I should avoid smoking cannabis because there's a chance it could happen again. If I was blazing just for the sake of getting high, I'd be fine with that. but the main reason I smoke is to deal with my anxiety (mainly social anxiety [the fucking worst]) and obsessive compulsive disorder. Life's much more enjoyable than it used to be and I have no intention of going back to way things were... but I can't just outright ignore a valid medical concern. =/

    I'd bake some edibles if I could but I live with my parents atm (school's expensive D: ), and I can't risk being caught. I'm thinking about buying a vaporizer but I'm not sure if that'd be ok. I've heard vaporizing is better for the lungs than smoking, but just how much safer is it?

    I'm looking for medical articles or statistics if possible, or even some first hand accounts of anyone who's suffered from a collapsed lung. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
     
  2. Do you have any friends who would let you cook at their place? Making edibles is really gonna be your best option here I think. I'm no expert, but even when I vape it still makes me cough, so I'm not sure how good it will be for the lungs.
     
  3. In tough times... alcohol is the answer. Mix your weed into it.
     
  4. edibles sounds like the way to go.
     
  5. One of my buddies had one of his lungs collapse as well. He switched to a vape, and he's been fine so far. He just keeps it at a low temp. I have no idea if it's actually safe though..maybe he's just been lucky.
     
  6. Maybe make a glycerine tincture? Easy to control dosage and no smoking to hurt your lungs
     
  7. i bought my mflb at a head shop. go to a local head shop with some cash, solves the atm problem and they usually have vapes there.
     

  8. Nah man, none of my friends burn. I have cousins that do but they're in the same boat as me as far as our parents are concerned.


    I'm not sure what that is, is there a "how to" thread about it somewhere here on GC?
     

  9. Have you tried it before? I've read some mixed reviews so I'm not sure if it's worth the try.
     
  10. No, but from what I've heard they work just as well as alcohol tincture, but you can put it under your tongue without burning.

    When I get a little extra cash I'm gonna try this as it will be a good way for me to get high in my living room. Currently can't smoke in there because I live in public housing sandwiched between 2 other apartments and my neighbors are a pain in the ass.
