So Weed and Asthma.

All smoke can be effective against asthma. People just like to single out weed as if weed smoke is so different than any other type of smoke. my last asthma attack was from being at a barbeque when i was 12.lol

I have asthma but never had an attack or any trouble once i started smoking. Started smoking senior year in high school. Ran cross country every year. once i started smoking, i noticed my breathing was better during races and I cut my time down 4 minutes within less than a month from when i began blazing everyday after practice.

 

I have asthma and the only time i really have trouble is at night when asthma is the worst. I take huge tokes out of this bowl i have and i take the toke with ease. I use my inhalers quite often though, i'm also allergic to cats and my friends have them and thats where i smoke 99% of the time. If i took my allergy pills singulair(works for asthma and allergies), then i would be absolutely fine but my pills are expensive so i haven't go 'em yet again

 

You got faster because you probably trained harder idiot....

But yeah, I have asthma too, it bugged me big time during XC, but never had a problem with smoking weed and asthma

 

Weed helps with asthma because opens the capillaries in the lungs, unlike tobacco and other smoke which constricts them.

 

How about since 1974 on? (from "Granny's MMJ List" - 1st link in my sig)

Please take the time to educate yourself about the many medical uses of cannabis! Just read the titles from my list as a start!

I feel like smoking either has no effect or helps with my asthma. Lately however i've been smoking joints that are probably 60% bud and 40% tobacco to make it seem like my stash lasts longer. I've noticed right away that tobacco really takes a toll on lung capacity, so i'm probably just going to toss the rolling tobacco i have left and keep it green.

 

marijuana acts as a bronchodilator, which helps to open up the airways and increase airflow

 

lol. im not saying smoking made me faster, im just saying i didnt feel any tightening in my chest after smoking disproving any negative effect on my breathing. i didnt really care for xc in my senior year, just needed the credit.
