Smoking buds while your sick. Yay or nay?

[eatyualive]

So, you know how rough it is to go without smoking when lets say you have the flu, a cold, or some kind of respiratory ailment. Now we are talking the good greens not tobacco. How many of you can't go without smoking when sick?


So, do you smoke and get high and accept getting sicker?

Or Play it safe and ride out the sickness before you get high again?

[TVCasualty]

Well, I picked Other 'cause I don't smoke if I'm sick in any way that messes up my lungs but smoking is mandatory if I have a stomach virus or something like that.

And when I do have a chest cold, it's time to eat it! So I don't smoke when I'm sick but I'm still getting high.

[weeeeeee]

i dont usually get "sick" it takes alot for me to declare sickness
so i answered yes but in the off chance that i am actually sick i will smoke up until the point that it starts to make me more sick then i figure out if it is a good idea to continue

[bobdolerson]

Yeah. I'm shamefully self-destructive when it comes to bud, so i'll pretty much keep on smoking all the way to the hospital (literally).

Shoulda thought about brownies.

[twoism]

[teesus]

for me flu is much more bearable when i'm stoned. made me sleep most of the day when i was ill last time. better than be awake and feel shitty

[bugs]

Depends on how sick, and with what. I agree with mandatory for stomach ailments. For lung stuff, vaporizing is the way I go. But sometimes it's best just to lie there and suffer.

[seedlessstinky1]

seems i dont get nearly as stoned when im sick though. It sucks. I hate getting sick.

[Beastmaster]

I'm with bob. More than once I've had a simple cold turn into bronchitis/asthma...

got the flu shot this year I'm immune! Fuck yeah! suckit virii!

[boatsoup]

i find the only way to clear all the phlegm out of your lungs and throat when you have a chest cold is to take a huge toke and have a 10 minute long coughing fit

feel like a new man afterwards, smoke kills the virus, coughing expels the mucus

[Ras Asad]

ive only gotten sick a couple of times ever.
pretty sure i smoked those couple times to. lol

Agreed,depends on severity and what ailment as some head flu's,colds,etc etc
will knock ya the fuck out regardless
B/T/W/ I voted to drink some whiskey when u feel sick
Couldn't tell ya how many times(if i was sick of course)that i would go out and just get completely shitfaced drinking either JD or Jamesons thinking that it would burn whatever i had atm right the fuck outta me.Seemed to work,was either that or i just didn't feel sick anymore cause my fucking head felt like it was going to explode the following day!!

[TrickyNicky]

Generally I only Vaporize when I am sick but depends on illness and severity

[greenie]

if u cant smoke for sum reason, just make budder or oil (for u vegans out there)

Me too, whats up with that shit?? Still smoke, just not much

If it's more of a stomach virus I gotta burn some. Seems to be like the pink stuff, but in a different way.

[cuts]

ITS A FUCKING YAY! LOL no but seriously, smoking pot doesn't necessarily make you sicker.

[ShroomGuerilla]

Thats when I only use my volcano.

[HookedonChronic]

I like brownies, and if your sick you probably are at home, why not pick up a cheese cloth and some butter and make them. I use about 1/2 and ounce per stick of butter plus and extra 1/4 stick cuz you lose some in the cheese cloth and double boiler. Puts me right out when I'm healthy, I'm sure they would take your mind off being sick.

[dice]

Honestly I think smoking when im sick
actually helps me get better faster.
Esp if its in my chest cause then im
coughing a lot and can get most the bad stuff out.

[Freaky]

I'm nodding my head YES to this question

[mycot]

Yeah I'm with dice. In most illness there is a strong psychosomatic component, stress etc. In Leary's model pot turns on the neurosomatic curcuit so you get better quicker.
Check out the "Chronic Man" you-tube, "Before I smoked pot I was sick all the time, now I smoke pot I don't get sick".

[lionelfire]

I've never had the flu, and the last time I've been really sick was almost 30 years ago with the chicken pox, I do catch colds that last about a day, however. When I feel one coming on I grab a 1/2 pint of tequila and do shots with lemon and honey. May not cure it, but sure does make for a good day.

Hmm. I think I'm starting to feel a little under the weather now.

[Santiago]

I have to be REALLY sick to ADMIT that I'm sick. If I'm that sick, then I try to take it easy on the herbage. Like right now. It's horrible.

[dr.micology]

I still smoke when sick but not as much, maybe 1-2 puffs a day

[ishkaboo]

It depends on the sickness, and I get sick maybe once a year at most, but if its respiratory in nature ie. bronchitis or asthma related, I will not smoke any bowls or joints or blunts, I will stick to the vaporizor, or in a pinch, the perculated and diffused ice bong... as far as the rhinovirus (common cold) or influenza goes, I smoke all day, it makes me not feel sick for the time being, makes me wanna eat, which then I can take 1000mg of vitamin C with a multi-vitamin to boost my immune system, its a win-win situation at that point.

I actually just had a bit of a cold, but as soon as I noticed signs I took 1000mg of vitamin C, continued smoking daily as usual, and I ended up only getting the sniffles for a bit (pseudo took care of that, and zyrtek for allergies) while my girlfriend didn't take vitamin C and she ended up running out of her bio lab puking... ya thank thy gods for vitamin C (pronounced like bear grylls just for kicks ha )

[seedlessstinky1]

Yeah a tsunamii as i call em work well for easing the hacking in the lungs.
*Ice/water filled bong.

[kcmoxtractor]

I have the flu right now... NO FUN.
I am still smokin' a little bit at a time though. Just ate some dankaroni & cheese to.

[whatchamacallit]

Smokin weed always makes SWIM feel better but it can be rough with a sore throat when you cough a lot. SWIM takes small hits when he is sick to reduce the coughing a good bit, but still feels much better when high.

[marmy]

when I have certain types of ailments, herb is the only pain releiver that works... other than that I don't like the stuff as a rule

[growurown]

yeah most the time. unless i really am just to sick to take a hit but then im usually just sleepin then

[cap]

always be sure ur lungs are in good nuff shape otherwise eat the bud or vape it so you dont further damage anything.
however,
recent studies have linked cannabis use to reversing the adverse effects of many ailments such as carcinoma/lung cancer, to name just 1 in a sea of others from the common cold to leukemia.

proactive steps MUST be taken.and have been for some time. we can only hope the mass appeal of mj as otc meds, bio fuel, clothing, and endless other forms of sustainance and uses become allowable internationally
(which starts right here in the us,all other cuntrys will follow!

[hemifshr]

It all depends on how sick I am and with what I'm infected with? But 4 the most part I really slow down on smoking cigs. Weed usually makes me feel a little better no matter what I'm sick with, so yea i usually keep tokin just not as much ! As 4 shrooms ,coke, phycs, and so on no! Maybe a drink of whiskey or 2 in adntion 2 the weed. Some aspiren and IBU ,and I'm ok.Unless I'm taken antibiotics then no booze ,as most u know antibiotics and liquer dont mix!!!!!!! The alcohol kills the antibiotics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that yea whatever helps me feel better is still on~!

[someKindofDrug]

Yes

[Faaip De Oaid]

i find pot helps me get the sleep necessary to overcome most ailments. so yes, and its never made me more sick. In fact i think since I've started smoking pot about 5 years ago I've maybe only had anything worse than a cold like 3 times...

makes me also not care that im sick as much ahahaha

[SpiritMolecule]

Sicker? When I get sick and my lungs fill with mucus, smoking some weed will expand my lungs, loosening the mucus, and then I cough real hard and hack the shit up. Works better than cough syrup IMO. Plus, the THC counters my nausea and helps with my fever a little too, I think.

This is how I percieve it anyway.

I'm getting on dice's bandwagon, too. That's the "Medical" part of Med Pot.

As far as drinking - if it doesn't cure your cold, at least you'll show it a good time.

Whiskey, Neo Citran & a doob will get you some sleep.
