Yeah i am 24 and i have been smokin bud and cigs for about 11 yrs now and i just quit smokin cigs about 2 months ago but i love my weed so i dont plan on quiting it anytime soon but i was also worried about this black sh*t i have been coughing up but i figured it wasnt to much to worry about because i dont like doctors and i have had this problem for about 5 months but all it is is tar exiting the lungs like what was said above so pretty much if you smoke you can expect it sooner or later but i am kinda glad its comin out now instead of years down the road cuz then it would be alot worse. javascript:emoticon(' ')

I have the same thing, i was sick for a week and took a break from smoking dope. In the meantime in the morning i cough up this murky grayish matter, i have a microscope of my own and it is as explained, little black specs.
Later in the day when i cough though (still some cough left from my cold) its clear mucus/phlegm. But while i smoke pot (sometimes mixed with a very small amount of tobacco) and cough i never see this grayish matter. |

| Okay, everyone, HELLO...the black phlegm you are coughing up IS from smoking and more so smoking weed. Cigarettes hold the tar in your lungs and weed expels it. You will still cough up black phlegm from cigarettes too but not as regularly as marijuana. So, unless you're coughin up blood or really thick black phlegm, you are really over reacting. My uncle is a doctor and I've asked him this as well as other doctors that are specialists. So, stop being idiotic. |

OK, so my boyfriend is coughing up little black specs and it scares me!! I want him to go see a Doc, and he keeps saying that he will, but has not yet. He does smoke weed, well recently quit and started Juicing a lot. He says since he started to juice is when he started to cough up the specs. He ocasionally smokes cigs, but has cut down a lot on those as well.
so, but you say that there is nothing to worry about?? Will this ever go away and is it a sign of worse things to come?  |

No shit its from smoking. There's not a single person on here that doesn't smoke and coughs up black shit. we are not overreacting you duntz, some of us are scared and some of us just want to know wtf is up with our lungs. so f*** you, you cocky know-nothing idiotic fucktard
i've smoked ungodly amounts of marijuana for the last 5-6 years. copius amounts. stupidly and unneccessarily. i have pleurisy and about every 4-5 months i'll get bronchitis. i have been coughing up deep dark black shit for 2 months now, more so since i've quit 8 days ago. its enough to where i'm getting really scared. also does anyone get pressure on the left side of their head or above their eye? fatigue? shortness of breath or tightness in the chest? |

|
|
| If you recently quit smoking cigs, only so much tar can clear out of your lungs if you continue to smoke marijuana. I work out 3-4 times a week, and I first experienced the black phlegm when I quit smoking cigs 6 months ago. After a few weeks, it subsided. However, I quit smoking pot two weeks ago, and I've seen more black mucus than ever before. I've been hacking it up several times a day for two weeks. Every morning, every evening, and I know there’s more tar in there. If anyone tells you smoking pot isn't bad for you, they’re wrong. It can’t be healthy to have this much tar in your lungs. I'm no doctor, but I'd bet anything that continued daily pot use (like I was using) would eventually result in lung cancer or emphysema. If you think that occasional weed use isn't affecting your workouts, go two weeks with no smoke of any kind and check back in with me. You’ll be singing a different tune. |

| Yeah i am coughing up a lot of black sputum. I went to the doctor and got a chest X-RAY and it was totally clear and he said my lungs sound great. I have smoked herb(very good potent stuff) for a good 7 years. I'm 24 now. I never smoked cigs. I don't know if i trust the X-ray alone and am considering requesting a PET scan. It's in the back of my mind all day "I HAVE LUNG OR THROAT CANCER" however i have no pains anything. I also recreationally used food grade nitrous oxide for a while, which i'll never do again. I have quit weed which is extremely hard for me, but coughing up black shit in your early 20s is fuckin scary as hell. Besides my recreational drug use, I keep fairly healthy diet and exercise wise. I watched a youtube video of a DR. saying weed expands your bronchial tubes and cigs close them up, which i believe. I'm not a very religious person, but I'm just praying to whatever god there may be that this will stop asap. |

Here is a helpful link. *****
Note the user referencing erowind.
*** Marijuana contains THC. THC is a bronchial dilator, which means it works like a cough drop and opens up your lungs, which aids clearance of smoke and dirt. Nicotine does just the opposite; it makes your lungs bunch up and makes it harder to cough anything up.
With this in mind, your body could be in the position where it can actually get rid of the tar that has built up. Or some of it at least.
If I were you I would quit smoking weed for a while too, then when you haven't hacked up any tar just go back to smoking pot.
