coughing up black stuff when smoking marijuana

Haha dope ass ni**-

are you slow? is this a troll?

Marijuana is definitely addictive! I'm a 66 year old guy who's been smoking for 50 years. (Since the Summer of Love). I smoke daily. Every time I run out for more than a few days, I experience withdrawal symptoms. The last time I went for 3-4 days without it, I couldn't think straight and couldn't sleep. I found myself in my laundry room singing at the top of my lungs, something I wouldn't ordinarily be doing. Since marijuana gets into your fat cells, it takes a few days to start feeling the withdrawal symptoms. Now I've tried, and withdrawn from heroin, methadone, hydro, oxy; everything except crack and speed, which I want no part of. I'm already jacked up enough naturally, so I know withdrawal when I come across it. When I was younger, I"m sure the weed was weaker and my body was stronger and I never had problems smoking weed. Now, I"m here today because I'm coughing up big black lumps of tar in my sputum. I'm also hoarse and running a low grade fever. I"m looking online at vaporizers because I don't want this to turn into something worse than a mild bronchitis. I agree with the people who say it's the tar (and ash, if you're smoking from a dirty pipe) that build up and at some point, your bronchial tubes can't take it anymore and rebel. After all those years of smoking weed, it's only in the last couple of years that I started coughing up phlegm with black spots. Now it's totally black and gray. I stopped for two days now, and as others have pointed out that it gets worse when quitting, it's all coming out. I'm starting to be able to breathe more easily. I'd just quit for a month or more, but I just can't go through the sleep deprivation right now as I have a lot to get done in the next week. I think that whoever said that toking on the pipe more slowly, and keeping it clean are the best things you can do other than a vaporizer or going to edibles.

I just wanted to add that I've been putting my face over boiling water and sucking up the steam. It really helps. As another poster said, the steam loosens up the tar and helps you expel it.

Here's the nitty-gritty people you smoke cigarets and weed and cocaine like I have you will have little black specs coming up in your phlegm when it becomes too much and you're asking if it's too much listen to yourself and stop like I do there's one saying in life Everything in moderation my fellow folks you want to know many more wise wisdom facts of life get back to me Tyler pankhurst

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Yes weed has the same properties in it that causes cancer in tobacco, but the THC's cancer healing properties counter this and actually make the risk of lung cancer less so than people who don't even smoke. You need to do some research ;) don't assume things. It's a medicinal herb and it has many benefits. No one has ever died from marijuana, people have died while they were high e.g someone hot boxed for so long in a completely closed in room they died because they ran out of oxygen because they're dumb. More people have died from peanuts and cows.... Please do some research before telling people things as you'll make people worry. Smoking MJ with tobacco is gonna do the same as tobacco OBVIOUSLY because... Tobacco....

I'm going thru the same thing. I smoke about a small bowl daily. I have been coughing a lot, I think it's bronchitis. What did you do to get better? I suffer from chronic migraines so quitting weed, smoking is out of the question. Smoking provides immediate relief.

Right so, regardless if you smoke bong res will reach your lungs. Ever wonder why you have to clean the bong? Because res sticks to the glass, (also your lungs).

Man I just came freaking out a bit about it randomly found this site on Google high af and was prepared for the worse... like black lung is a real thing and when you smoke cigs as well as weed it can kinda freak you out. I was also in a house fire a year and a half ago and went into a coma for 11 days with tubes down my throat and my family said they were just black with soot.. so I was like here we go I've got cancer now after being burned lmao this made me feel a lot better thanks for making the post in the first place haha now go puff!

You're as brainwashed as anyone else- do some unbiased research.

Your one far out dude!

Most ill-informed reply ever!

It's the weed itself! During the curing process or too late down the stages someone added more nutrients too it. This makes it look better but smoke harsher. I've never had this problem until this last batch I got

thc does the opposite to tobacco to your lungs hence why it is recommend to smoke weed pure. i cant i would cough to death. Its healthy that you cough that tar up mate. The more i train and keep fit the more c**p i cough up when i hit the spliff. thats because thc causes your lungs to push tar out, tobaccoo relaxes them makes them absorb tar. so thc has ten times the tar yet it makes you cough it up. if you are smoking weed often and not coughing anything up that is a bad sign. it means youve gone too far and your system is not working you are retaining all that tar. thats when you need to stop if you toke strong weed and dont cough!

Im the guy complaining about spitting up black stuff. Somtimes during a hot shower a big one will come out. But I'm also that guy who smokes a lot that when I'm having a session with other people and we are smoking the top shelf bomb og, they all seem to cough immediately after the hit as I take a bigger hit and still blow it out without cough. This means I smoke excessively as stated in the previous comment, so I've eased up on the complaining because it gives me piece of mind to know my respiratory system is still cleaning out my lungs..
