Smoking/vaping after pneumonia

Discussion in 'Beginner Cannabis Consumption & Tips' started by Joel08, Jan 1, 2020.

    Hi, I recently got out of hospital after coming down with pneumonia, due to having asthma this made my case quite bad but after 5 days i’m feeling much better and i finish my medication in one day. I was just wondering how long should i leave it before smoking or vaping (ordered a dry herb vape due to the pneumonia). I dont want to risk anything serious happening but finding it difficult to cold turkey, any help is appreciated, Thankyou.

    Can you make edibles while you wait it out? I would DEFINITELY avoid vaping for a while......as that is LITERALLY "water vapor" going into your lungs..............combustion is prob best for a week or so........just my .02

    I thought the same about the water vapour bro but apparently because its a dry herb vaporiser it isnt water vapour? Im currently onto the plug to see if he has any edibles in. I think smoking is definitely out the equation for at least a month though.

    I am not so sure about that.........even when you smoke weed....its still like what.....60% rh...........which means it DEF still has water in it............I thinking vaping it is DEF worse for you than combustion

    Make a batch of your own edible oil. This way you can make the same strength each time and you'll know how a set size dose will hit you.

    Decarb first 240 F for 40 minutes. Baked weed in the oven uncovered. Chop into pea sized chunks first.
    5 grams Kief, Hash or powdered buds.
    1 tablespoon Coconut oil ( any cooking oil works )
    1/2 teaspoon Lecithin (optional)
    Combine and heat 220 F for 20 minutes
    Freeze (optional)
    Heat 220 F for 20 minutes (optional)
    Done.

    5 grams of buds will be roughly 750mg of THC
    Start with 10-25mg and wait 2 hours before taking more.
    If not stoned take 50mg more and wait again.

    I start vaping after 5 weeks out of the hospital, right lung collapse at 50%. my doctor say smoking is worst than vaping dry weed. I start with edible but my tolerance go up and I start vaping to give a break to edible, and vaping oil is worst than smoking dry weed, the best way make your own edible and tea

    I wouldn’t fuck around with pneumonia man. I broke a few ribs a few years back and ended up with it because I couldn’t take deep breaths. Don’t play with your life/health. Make some hash caps I’d bet ya won’t go back to smokin after ya give em a go, I didn’t.

    Thanks for the reply mate, would i need to make higher doses due to my tolerance?? I had been smoking between 2-6 joints a day before i was taken ill.

    Yh they always seemed quite cool tbh but being from the UK they aren’t popular here other than my friends make some ABV capsules here and there. I think i may just try the edibles until im 100% certain im better. Thanks bro

    NO !! do not assume because you toke a lot you need a high edible dose.
    It'll knock you silly and likely scare the shit out of you.
    Start small and wait a full 2 hours before deciding your not stoned and taking more.

    Like getting on a big old roller coaster once you've taken to much edible your stuck to take the full ride no matter how rough it gets and it can get wild as FUCK.

    This is the same recipe I've used for going on 8 years now and I make it with Kief. Very strong just a drop or two will be to much for my wife.
    Finding your ideal dose takes some work and extra time starting out so as to not go way over.
    A good edible with lecithin used can last 8 hours so if you overdose it's a very long time and can be bloody miserable.

    Sorry for the upside-down pic but it show how I work the best. Decarbed Kief, The pair of small cat food dishes I work in, The finished capsules.
