coughing up black stuff when smoking marijuana

thanks for all the info everyone that knows what they are talking about. its obviously not pieces of burnt marijuana because you will spit that sh*t up even on days you dont smoke. the easy solution as others have stated is using a vaporizer. while this is still not healthy for your lungs, it is still 20x (ok thats an estimate) better than any other way of consumption (besides edibles). i am a medical patient and i've been enjoying the benefits of the drug for quite some time now, and i've found that little breaks (a week every month or 2) help tremendously for relieving the coughing up of tar. hope this helps any of you with questions or worries. enjoy the good times :-)

lol why so many wrong answers? doesnt anyone know or have proof of what causes this? I get the same thing, but it looks like little brown/black dots mixed in with my saliva when I spit. And I can tell if I am going to spit out the black/brown dots because you can literally "feel" it coming out your lungs. It happens sometimes when I smoke weed all the time, but when I stop smoking weed for a few days, it happens even more. So, I think I have the same thing you do. I never got these symptoms until I overdosed on MDMA/Speed.

I think it all has something to do with our immune systems. Someone with a strong immune system is not going to be caughing up this stuff. Just my thoery.

i have been coughing up black ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting** for a while that matey sounds rite about it... it does come from your lungs u can feel it as u get tht bit stuk u cough it out and feel it coming up i also think its to do with your imune system as i already know mines not to good. ! not cool 1 nite i came in pissed and actually puked up blak ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting** i tell you it was the worst thing i have felt/seen i thort i was gunna choke to death just cudnt get my breath. it was all just coming up but so gulpy it felt like it was wrapping around my tonsels i think it may of been a good thing in a way just the fact tht it all came out . either way i still aint gone to docter but i really do rekon i should now afta reading few of these it does change from week to week. this has got to be sorted.

and i smoke green everyday mainly through bongs it aint cool. its weird caz i love it, hate it... deffo would never recomend it... and it is addictive in sum cases dont care wat any1 says! lol but i need to stop... we can do this together! its scary wen u tink wat my lungs gunna look like in 10 years time ive been smoking for 3 - 4 yrs let a known 10 more... collapsed by then i rekon if i dont sort it out!! haha thanks every1 tho least i aint the only unluky 1

safeeeee

:D idk why everyone is arguing about this subject..

but no weed does not kill you =)
and bad thing is itll kill some brain cells.. and make u a little dee dee dee

So yea. Everyone here is wrong.

The black "s**t" your coughing up is burnt pieces of weed that get sucked through the pipe, and into your lungs. They are burnt and lighter then the other pieces, and flow freely with the smoke you inhale. This is realy bad in heavy smokers. When you hear the pieces of weed getting sucked into the piece, you need to chill out. My friend who was a heavy smoker was coughing up balls of black "s**t" nearly 1/2" in size.

When you smoke out of a pipe, take it easy and draw a thick smoke. Dont inhale as fast as you can and s**k the s**t into your lungs.

I nearly pissed myself when i read this, Please be joking

your an id**iot use a screen

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection
Washington Post

"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."

Sorry guest but your info is a bit incorrect :( Cigarette smokers get the same problem , no thc or resin in cigarettes. That black stuff is dead lung your coughing up not bloody resin. and yes smoking k-ll you :cry:

lol guest you are a fuc-ing dork, smoking will not k-ll you - university of LA has been studying cannabis for 30 years and they just discovered thc fights off cancer actually.. gg search it up mo-ron and yea it is resin not dead lung you id-ot

 

Although THC has "SOME potential" to fight cancer and that is not clear how much potential as of yet that it is a possible cancer fighting agent, It is a scientific proven fact that Marijuana when smoke DOES build up a resin in your lungs much the same as a cigarette! You might want to research how many POT SMOKERS are rushed to the hospital because they think they are suffering a heart attack only to find that the resin has completely shut off the flow of oxygen inside the lungs!!! We (I am a DOCTOR) have to go in and actually scrape the the lungs. This is similar to what you do when you clean your pipes!! It is no simple surgery and there have been deaths during this surgery. Marijuana does have some health benefits but lets remember smoking it can do more harm then good. It is prescribed to some cancer patients NOT as a form of treatment that fights cancer but, it helps build appetite aiding some cancer patients to eat while going through other forms of treatment! We have been studying the effects of smoking marijuana and how your lungs are affected. I hate to burst your bubble but, the studies are not going to look good for those who smoke Marijuana. That is all I am at liberty to say for now. Our study will be released to the public once it is completed sometime between April and June 2012.

 

really? are you that stupid? go watch the movie the union to anyone here that doesn't agree with "WEED"now in my opinion "pot head" is a derogative slang to people who smoke weed. most think people who smoke weed are givin a bad rep because of what "pot heads" have made it into. It's obvious weed isn't something that is good for you. but guess what so is fast food, caffine, perscriptions, alcohol, ciggarettes. these are just a few that are by far at the least 1500 times worse for you.. and its fact because fast food kills the least out of the list. it still kills a minimum of 1500 people a year.. now i'm sorry if i agree with smoking a plant that was put on this earth by god since day one and has never recorded a single death. i think the population just believes what they want to hear so they can have something to blame.. people like drama so much that the fight for WEED isn't even about if its bad or not anymore. but that people are just so full of themselves that being right is there only.. well high i guess. i'm 18 and have been smoking only GREEN no tobacco since i was 13. and guess what i've played multiple sports over the years with no breathing problems lung problems.. infact in the passed 5 years ive probably only been sick about 4-5 times.. now if this is a sign of me dieing or getting sick someone notify me because seriously i guess im un healthy? if you put me in a room with 10 non smokers you could never pick me out. now i know this has nothing to do with the topic but i have a few times spit up black and i will tell you all right now it is 100% smoke build up.. try inhaling smoke and blowing it into a water bottle with just a bit of water left. shake it and you ll notice after a few hours or so it ll go brown and eventually black.. this is what is happening in your lungs.. mucis build up that has just basicially been containing the smoke.. so think of it as coughing up smoke because thats all it really is is hardened smoke. i know this clearly wont effect everyones thoughts. but come on guys its been around since day 1 not a single death or cancer case EVER recorded and im not just saying it.. of course it isn't good for you.. but when you think about it these days what really is? please just really think about it.. it can't be that bad.

OH AND PLUS !!! A FACT THAT YOU ALL SHOULD NO AND IS 100% TRUE IS THAT WEED DOES NOT CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE. THE STUDIES OF BRAIN DAMAGE SHOWN CAUSES FROM WEED IS BECAUSE OF AN EARLY DUMBA** PRESIDENT THAT HOOKED UP GAS MASKS TO MONKEYS THAT WOULD PUMPED 63 COLOMBIAN SIZED JOINTS WITHIN 5 MINUTES WITH NO EXTRA OXYGEN SINCE THEN THE MEDIA HAS LIED AND DOCTERS HAVE FAILED TO FIND OUT ANY FORM OF BRAIN DAMAGED CAUSED.


for those of you that don't get it. they were pretty much suffocating them.. they were pumpin only smoke into the poor things for a year and over 1000s of monkeys died and THAT is where brain damage theory came from.. anyone who says other wise you can try to prove me wrong but in the end im just going to call you an dum* for searching on google MARIJUANA IS BAD . THANK YOU !

WEED CAN NOT HARM YOU IN ANYWAY TOBACCO CAN SO ETHER YOU HAVE BEEN SMOKING TOBACCO OR YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SMOKING WEED LOL

^ ahahah ur the man^

i think its awesome the respiratory therapist commented.
i was at the doctor the other day, and i brought up the black phlegm (he knows i smoke pot).
the therapist was correct, of course. it's resin and it isn't harmful. my doctor recommended
decreasing the frequency of smoking, and possibly using a vaporization device to decrease thermal damage.
also, wiki will confirm that THC is a "bronchodilator, a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing airway resistance and thereby facilitating airflow"
so everything he said is true.

the cancer, health dangers issue however....
THC has not been proven or dis-proven to be a carcinogen, so its kind of a moot point.
however, someone i love has been a frequent pot smoke for 45 years, he developed emphysema,
and will most likely die from it. he has never smoked tobacco, or used other drugs or alcohol.
the doctors confirm that it is due to long- term damage to the lungs by smoking.
pot is a magical plant and it should be legalized. unfortunately, it CAN kill.

I literally have the same problem. Except it just started to happen due to a cold. When I useally cough stuff up it just has small black flecks in it. But yesterday when i was lighting up i started coughing up literally straight black lung sh*t. I started trippin' and I was like "f**k! I'm like gonna die!"but now I realized most of you guys are right. It's probably just the resin sticking to the muscas in my lungs. So I just waned to say thanks guys for easing my mind lol.

bro your an id**t. It definitely ain't scooby snacks your coughing out. I spit up black stuff all the time and I only smoke out of a bong and a vape. You need to learn how to smoke if your sucking up that much sh#$ when you smoke haha, either that or you need to load a new bowl haha. Stop smoking that as****e and load some greens and you won't suck anything through haha. Jesus.
