Lungs

How fucked do you think yours are?
I've been coughing up specks of black stuff (sometimes more like giant globs) for the better part of the last 2 years and from what I understand it's a good thing. When your lungs are given time to rest they attempt to repair themselves and the tiny cilia that are coated in tar stand up and begin expelling the gunk. I've been spitting a lot lately but if my body is trying to get rid of something I'd rather not just swallow it back down.
I've noticed it's a lot more prevalent in the mornings and continues throughout the day until I smoke anything and then it returns to just a yellowish phlegm. Kind of like my body just temporarily regresses after being reintroduced to smoke and gives up on healing itself. This began when I quit smoking cigarettes but I definitely notice smoking weed is a major contributing factor. I've read plenty about how marijuana smoke isn't as harmful as cigarette smoke and that thc can actually negate some of the carcinogenic effects of smoking but I guess I'm just realizing this stuff still takes it's toll, especially if you smoke yourself retarded with it.
Like I said, been coughing shit up for about 2 years now and I'm kind of wondering when it's ever going to end.. which also leads me to wonder just how exactly filled up with tar my lungs must be.
Been smoking weed for 9 years, 5 on the daily, smoked a pack a day for 3 years and have had 1-3 loosies every couple of months since.

Next time you smoke a bowl hold a napkin/paper towel up to your mouth and exhale every hit through it. Shit really builds up.

So like a gram? And you smoke one cigarette a month? That is weird that you are coughing up shit dude. I'm no medical professional but I would suggest taking a break for a while. I bet if you quit for a week and started up again your lungs will stop excreting black shit in the mornings.

why not just go to a doc and tell em u want to get some tests to see how your lungs are doing since you are a smoker. I have been coughing up mucus and blood for a couple weeks now. Not years, and nothing black. I think its because i took 8 days off from smoking and came back and just tore my lungs all up with blunts and hash like the dopeman does.

Ahhh good another lungs topic, I like these...
I'm a chronic asthmatic, so bad that I'm lucky to have made it past childhood.
Stupid I know, but I smoked cigarettes from age 17-20, which of course did nothing bud harm. I smoked shwag from age 16-18. At 18 I started only smoking medicinal quality cannabis. I saw a drastic improvement from age 18-20 as a result of the medicinal cannabis AND routine exercise. Tobacco really held me back from progressing so I quit that shit at age 20.
Now at age 22, two years of routine exercise and only using medicinal cannabis, I can without a doubt say that I have won the battle of the 'asthma wars'. Within the past year I've bought a vaporizer(vriptech, search the smoke lounge I posted about it) and this has done nothing but wonders, simply fantastic. I smoke my herb occasionally, some buds are just better smoked, but I strongly believe that cannabis has relieved my sickness. I can't say it has cured me(doctor says there's no cure for asthma yet) but as of about 6 months ago I've used my inhaler 2 times and that was just because I was doing some major dusting. That's a big leap from childhood... about 20 inhalers puffs daily, two pills and some liquid meds daily, powder inhalants, shots, breathing machines, hospital visits...
medical cannabis FTW vaporizers FTW
moral of the post... quit smoking tobacco, use a bunch of herb and get off your ass and get outside and be healthy!

Asthma does indeed suck.
Mine stopped acting up after 3 years of cross country and one of wrestling.
It's getting harder to breath now, so I'm starting to work out.
At least it isn't Cystic fibrosis. One of my friends from highschool has that.
