Hey guys (Brand new to this site so excuse me if I've broken any forum rules) So about 5 weeks ago I went to the hospital because I was feeling out of breath and very bad chest pains. This had been going on periodically since about December when I had bronchitis but I didn't pay much attention to it. Between then and now i had smoked maybe 4 times and had extreme panic attacks and I never had them before (maybe because my lung was collapsed the whole time?) They gave me an X ray and told me my left lung had collapsed about 20%. I had a chest tube in, and was released a couple days after, only to go back to the hospital to find it collapsed again. I had surgery done and I've been recovering ever since. Apparently the surgery almost guarantees it won't happen again but I'm still worried. Has anyone else had experiences with this kind of stuff? I'm going to lay off smoking for a while, but will I ever be able to again? Tl;dr my lung collapsed twice, will I ever be able to smoke again? Thanks in advance for any help or comments
It sounds like smoking weed just may not be for you. Or you could try edibles, that would be the best bet if you're sure you want to go the weed route. I just learned how to make brownies and WOW!
I think that may be the best way to go, just have to make sugar free ones since I'm a type 1 diabetic
Actually I have heard that people like yourself, people with this condition and smoke ganja, are predisposed to collapsing their lung. It has something to do with vacuum that's created when you're inhaling. More so when you're hitting something like a bong where a lot more vacuum is created. You can actually collapse your entire lung / lungs from a single monster bong rip. It isn't all bad news though, because you can still do things like vape, edibles and adjust how you "smoke" ganja. Like just smoke doobies and only use your mouth to draw in smoke. Then in hale the smoke from your mouth. Hit it several times this way to get to lung capacity. No unnecessary lung collapsing vacuum needed. You know, that make those desktop vapes where you use a balloon or plastic bag to fill with vapor and then you just inhale from the bag. What if you made an attachment for glass water pieces that would fill a bag or balloon and you would just hit it that way. With this invention You could become a bagillionaire and then give everyone here at the city free ganja for life. Hot damn I love a good wake and bake Ps.. I saw that thing about the collapsing lungs and smoking ganja amongst other things on discovery channel or vice channel. I want to say it was vice tv though. Good luck and be safe broski!
I have a chick friend who smokes with one lung.. One fucking lung. I honestly cringe everytime she hits the bong. i mean i cri evrytiem
