Hey people, had a couple of questions and this looks like a good place to ask :-)
I'm 19. Ive been smoking weed for about 6 years now. The past 3 years have been a lil more 'heavy'.
My natural body clock seems to be messed up and i ''wake myself up'' at 4am in the mornings to have a joint and go back to sleep.
I find the main reason I 'let' myself smoke this much is due to horrific ongoing back problems from rugby accidents and car crahes, which to be completely honest, does wonders loosening up 'recovering torn muscles' in my spine.

For the last 2 or 3 years I averagely smoke 10-20 joints a day. 5 or 6 of which i smoke with friends and out. I guess this works out at about 1 - 2 ounces a week (to myself).. I want to get back to smoking just on weekends, but find i make these decisions when im high, and when i'm sober i don't see any problem with weed.

I currently have been coughing quite a lot of black, green, and yellow stuff, sometimes streaked with blood. Im guessing this is due to the heavy smoking.. But if you can, lemme know what else could cause it and how to sort it out? (other than cutting down, which im working on..)

I have also considered possibly going to a hypno-therapist (just like they have for cigarrettes) to see if this could reduce cravings and get me smoking just back on weekends. ANYONE TRIED THIS>? LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS? :-)

yeah Cigarettes have resin to, resin is just Tar, ash and other stuff left over from the microscopic burning ambers you inhale, it's better out than in, some people inhale a lot and don't cough anything, odds are your just a mucousy person and your mucus is traping what others would have stick or absorb in there lungs....



I do this, and i find a hot shower is the best to get it all out....

So yea. Everyone here is wrong.

The black "sh*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 ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting** 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 suck the sh*t into your lungs.




o my ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting**god you are ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting**my friend. The black ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting**is not pieces of weed, it seems like maybe an eight year old came up with that or young, it is tar mixed with lung cells. This may shock some weed rooks but marijuana has a high tar content than tobacco and even the tobacco tar levels of a common day newport! This tar from weed is far less harmless than that of the chemical concotion of our modern day cigs but it is still a nasty tar. Dont worry i have been smoke pot for 27 years and i smoked marlboros for 13 and just passed my ytearly MRI without a trace of anything. Weed is the key to growing old and staying sane. I am a Mendocino Grower with a 400 plant operation that has been blessing the west coast for the past 11 and my pot is danm near the highest grade in the world. So this info is Solid rock for all you hater. Praises to the most Hgh, JAHHHH. bless up and burn the root daily YAAAAAH

I can't beleive I had to read through so many BS replies in this thread until finally reading your reply - which is the closest thing to an objective and coherently worded response that I think we'll see.



Your key words - "Any combustable inhalant can" (kill you.) Yep... It's called carbon monoxide and tar. Thats all anyone really needs to know. Those things cancel out any potential postive side effects of canabis... Unless you are in the final stages of a terminal disease in which mj helps to ease symptoms.

That is completely incorrect. The black sh*t is not burnt pieces of weed, in fact this problem is more comon with cigarette smokers. FYL

Hi I QUIT SMOKING MARIJUANA on 1-11-11...Over 2 weeks.. :? :D I am surprised at how easy it is once I decided NO MORE. I smoked for 33 yrs from the age of 13. After I quit Iam coughing up a little black c**p in my morning showers. I am feeling good about it because I feel my lungs are cleaning and healing. I knew I would decide to stop when I developed a regular dailyb smokers cough. Also I was smoking a lot and not feeling the effects any more. I felt like a slave to my Zong. I am so happy with this success..I was discusted with the filthy water I was cleaning out of my Bong every day. I wondered how bad my lunmgs are after 33 yrs of not cleaning them..Yikes..God bless

This a problem that I have experienced personally. Although smoking anything is very bad for your respiratory system, thc is not a carcinogen. This has been found in many studies by some of the best research colleges in the nation. However, the tar inhaled, or resin from the marijuana, is indeed a carcinogen which can cause cancer. If this a major problem for you, one thing i found helped a lot was refraining from smoking wraps or papers at all, and use water filtrated pipes as much as possible. And for the people that are saying Marijuana is still bad, this is completely false. Any and all propaganda surrounding marijuana is always directed towards making it out to be an evil, gateway drug that leads to further addiction and hardships. Let me remind you all that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin were all frequent marijuana smokers, and they all turned out pretty damn good. And from a Christian perspective, the thc receptors in our brains only has one use, getting high. If everything is for a reason than I would say God would not mind the occasional toke.

So, if when smoking weed and holding it in for a long time allows the smoke to settle and is bad, then what is the proper way to inhale weed from a pipe or from a bong? i have a vap and a vap pipe (vaporgenie) and i try to use those as an alternative but i don't get as high and i don't get to enjoy actually smoking the weed. i think i am addicted to the practice/the habit of smoking the weed. i've made edibles. but i really think i like the ritual of smoking weed. i do cough up the protective mucus that builds to expel the tar and black stuff settling in the lining of my lungs when I bring in the smoke. I cough up a lot of mucus with black stuff. Scares me. I think I am overall doing damage to my lungs. But I really do enjoy smoking. So if you could offer up more info on the proper way to inhale the smoke. Someone suggested bringing in a slow heavy growing smoke and only holding it for a short time, probably 2 seconds vs trying to hold it in as long as possible – like 15 -30 seconds... what happens if it's too short of a time in. Will the THC get delivered into the lungs and to the brain just the same as when you hold the smoke in for 15 seconds or longer? Thanks in advance! I really want to quit, but like in Brokeback Mountain "I just can't quit you" or like Dave Chapel’s MaryJane joint said at the end after he threw the girl joint with a face off the bridge "You'll be back." I feel that the habit and thinking sensation I get from the TCH has me. So help me help myself not kill myself sooner and rather later! Thanks!

As a heavy smoker of weed for 8 years, I who like most other people reading this forum probably have a lung infection which has caused there lungs to produce more mucus and free up tar in your lungs, which you then cough out albeit very slowly. I just want to say that these positive results for weed are talking about THC itself, smoking marijuana on its own you inhale most of the chemicals found in tobacco and in almost equal quantities, sometimes a little more or less. Look up a chemical analysis of marijuana smoke compared with tobacco you will see I'm right. THC does have a dilating effect and causes you to salivate but you smoke it constantly and you wont get rid of that tar it just builds up until your lungs are full of it. So Vapourize it, eat it or get to the stage like me where you have bronchitis that wont quit and are coughing up black c**p all the time and getting headaches while waiting for it to stop. Smoking is definately bad (duh).

I have been a pothead for yearsand never coughed up stuff like I have been lately. I have not actually smoked in days, but have been coughing up black stuff too, I have tried to consider anyone who may have been smoking cigarettes around me, or anything else I might be breathing in, the only thing that has been prevalent is the rain lots and lots of rain. Asa matter of fact, I have restricted cigarette smoking in my home because the smell makes me sick.
As far as the ignorance toward pot smoking it will not likely kill anyone simply by using it, unless maybe if you get stupid stoned and do something that could get you killed. If anything should be banned it would be alcohol, that destroys more lives everyday than weed or cigarettes ever will. The legalization of marijuana would  be a boost to the economy, it would reduce the need for certain law enforcement agencies, and people are USUALLY happy when high,not mean or murderous. Yes using a vaporizer would greatly reduce the negative aspects of marijuana use. Please people stop being so ignorant and educate youeself. Marijuana is not a killer and that is NOT why it is illegal. Ask William Randolf Hurst the newspaper mogul why....

:(  'cig dont have resin no' (?)  Yes.  They do, which is why there's a filter.  what is resin?  Resin is a hydrocarbon secretion of many plants, particularly coniferous trees.  THANKS WIKIPEDIA!
