Smoking While Sick?

Well, it's not really good for your throat, but if you can manage and have tea and throat lozenges at hand, it's not too bad!

I relieves the aches and pains that come with being sick, as well.

 

i do not enjoy smoking while i'm sick

i had a cold and i smoked, and then i was sick for a week and a half with the worse sore throat ever

 

I depends on what kind of sickness you have. If i had like that kind of body ache flu i would toke up for sure, but if i had a soar throat i would prob hold off unless i felt the urge to toke up... heh

 

Lol, sounds like it's not gonna work for you.

You could try edibles? Or just cold medicine, lol. :x

 

When I'm sick I usually just make brownies or firecrackers... I imagine vaping would be alright too...

 

It has commonly believed that cannabis lowers your immune system.

 

i disagree
im a longtime smoker and i never get sick. I doubt it improves the immune system but it certainly hasnt affected mine

 

I had whooping cough (go's along great with smoker's lung), and I smoked with my friends, then another of my friends got sick, then another. I think smoking while sick is fine, just don't share with anyone. If you're toking with others, just load a personal bowl after they're done.

 

That may very well be, but in a time of increased stress on your immune system such as being sick...you see the problem.

I have no idea whether it's true or not, just throwing it out there for him.

 

Every time I'm feeling under the weather and I smoke I always seem to get stupid high off of not a lot.. and seeing this..

I'm starting to wonder if your tolerance has to do with your immune system? I'm sure there is a really awesome scientific way to put it.. but uhh yeah..

 

mscbuck is correct, it will more than likely get you more congested. Obviously depending on what kind of sickness you have. I was sick a couple weeks back with a cold but I couldnt stomach any food, so I just toked up my appetite. Helped me get better quickly.

 

i acctually like tokin when im sick.. it makes me just feel better and forget about it.

i REALLY like tokin when i have a hangover.. its the ultimate cure for that. lol

 

ive got a cold right now... and i smoke cigarettes as well... i would say if ya need to smoke, use a bowl or bong... something that just produces straight weed smoke with no other crap (ie burnt paper from joints or tobacco smoke and other chemicals from blunt wraps/ cigar wraps and leaf) or you could make brownies/cookies/ firecrackers, etc... or ya could just drink... that always works too.

 

If I have just a cold, I usually still smoke, even tho it probably isnt the best while your sick. But if you are the kind of sick where you are puking and shit, you should not smoke, at least i wouldnt.

 

Also remember, you could just be avoiding contact with various sicknesses.
Meaning, there has to be sick people around to make you sick, generaly.

But hell man, maybe that's not it.
You could just have a naturally better immune system than most.
Most of the population has a lower immunity to bacteria and viruses than they'd like to think.

 

i smoke when i have the flu or cold but if i have a sore throat...... Fuck that.....dont ever smoke with a sore throat or any respiratory ailment it just makes it worse.....I might eat it if i was sick with a lung related illness though.

 

When im sick i smoke weed takes the symptoms away while your stoned.
altho i wouldnt smoke if you have throat infections or bad chest coughs can make it hard to smoke.
