    So... I barely use the forum, I don't really know why but this seems like a good place to get answers. It's the winter, and in NJ it gets cold and dry like many other places. I toke (used to) all the time outside and sometimes inside. Problem is, beginning of the year I got tonsillitus. Then I got over that and two weeks later got strep with a relapse of mononucleosis. After that, I thought I was all good. One day, I woke up with a sore throat. Back to the doctor. Strep. And every time I got better in between sicknesses, I toked. Obviously, it had some sort of connection (without a doubt). I hate to say it too. So now I just got over having strep about a week ago, and I am not toking. I wish I could but I have to go to an ENT to see if and when I need my tonsils out. I have baseball coming up, so I need to be healthy besides from being clean of marijuana. What do you guys think? When should I go back to smoking? Should I vape? And any ideas or experiences on getting sick a lot and having problems with your tonsils. Thanks a lot, I hope to hear a lot of responses because I'm honestly just like bored with shit without my ganja.

    My friend has the same problem as you. He sometimes gets sore throats after smoking. But he doesn't have the severity of your situation. You should research if there is a connection. Otherwise i don't know what to tell you.

    Smoking bud increases the mucus in your body. and it also does effect your Immune system, so when sick its not always the best idea to toke. But it surely does make me feel better. Some people just can't smoke because their body doesn't like it, maybe you are one of them. good luck bro.

    Get a nice vape and use that as your regular piece from now on.

    yeah i like the vape idea. the smoke will be smooth and pure (oxymoron?) and you wont kill your throat or lungs!

    make sure you stay hydrated while you toke too!

    thats crucial to staying healthy

    I literally just got over some kind of sickness. i never saw a doctor (although my dad is one so i knew i wasn't dying) and it lasted about 2 weeks. a cold type thing, with a sore throat and bad cough and runny nose, and i smoked a few times a day every day during that time. it makes some symptoms last a couple days longer but it makes it more bearable :) and ps... i didn't take any medicine besides the ganj, and i didn't vape it although that would definitely help if you toke a lot

    edit: i wouldn't worry about it but if you get strep again just vape or eat/drink

    Are you sure your strep has anything to do with weed? I have had strep way too many times in my life, when I tried to toke up it was hell, I wouldn't recommend it, just wait until it passes. Maybe you could try getting a bubbler/bong/vape, easier on the lungs, and you still get pasted.

    It doesnt seem like its related to the weed, more likely relatable to your tonsils; good call on seeing a doctor about that. Your choice really on smoking, when I'm sick and smoke I feel like shit and would rather not smoke. Your call.

    yeah i feel yah. got a ton of thinkin to do. just sucks goin from smokin up at least 5 times a week twice a day to nothing. absolutely nothing. why the hell haven't they made "chewing marijuana"?

    smoking has helped my throat...i used to have all sorts of throat prblems..i still have my tonisls...smoking is the one thing that helps...

    its not the weed giving u probs, its ur immune system

    i wouldn't say it's weed that is doing it. i think it's the smoke and the cold dry air. maybe i need to wait till april.

    my suggestion would be to injest. Enjoy!

    Why not just ask your doctor? (Of course be discrete when asking)
