yeah my throats f*cked up and i dont think weed will help it seeing as i'm pretty d*mn sure its the weed that got me mono seeing as we went out and had a crazy 420. i'm gonna sustain for a few weeks at least, which will be hard. it's only been 5 days but i'm already stressed out completely

I'm have mono right now, no sore throat, steady smokin cigarettes and weed through out my sore throat and fever I'm a 17 year old male I was just diagnosed with it about 10 minutes ago when my bloodwork came back, mono effects everyones body differently. My sore throat, fever, swollen lypnodes(sp?) are all gone. I dont think mono can kill you its just a viral infection.

Just remember your spleen is swollen and thats on the left upper side of your body do not do anything to harm your self because it can rupture and will cause a trip to the ER and a hefty hospital bill, so just keep that in mind.

i got real sick on a friday.. mad swelling/soar throat, discomfort the whole thing. chilled on weed for a week. next friday i felt better. smoked weed a handful of times throughout the weekend. by monday i was back with a terrible throat again, real sick. tested for mono that week and sure enough i had it. chilled on weed since then and feel much better now! think im on the outs. but gonna chill on the weed till im damn sure its all over.

i dont recomend weed when you got mono. but maybe everyones different.

Hey there! I'm in the same boat. I love my weed and smoke on a daily basis, and have just been diagnosed with mono and tonsilitus (which subsequently can be a common side effect of mono). I don't believe that there's anything harmful in marijuana that would slow your healing process- it's a natural plant with MANY medical benefits- but I do believe that any kind of smoke can be irritating to any inflamed or infected tissues in your throat or mouth. Try borrowing a vaporizer from a friend (if you know anyone that's got one-they're pricey) or baking your weed into delicious munchies. Both of these methods remove the danger of inhaling smoke. If not, try REALLLY rinsing your mouth out with mouthwash IMMEDIATELY after your toke- it's a pain in the ass rinsing every time you take a hit but it will really minimize any kind of irritation caused by the smoke. Maybe try removing any jewelery you may have (ie tongue ring) before toking so your mouth can be thoroughly cleaned, just pop it back in when you're done. :) Of course, if you find none of these methods alleviate your pain, just try abstaining from smoking (which we both know is boring as hell- but probs for the best). Hope this was helpful!

I'm 16 and smoke daily. After contracting mono, i found smoking made me feel much better for the whole day, however, I was extremely uncomfortable at night, especially on a day that i have smoked.

Whattsup, I'm a 17 year old dude. Smoke a lot but not quite daily. Anyways, I got diagnosed with mono about a week ago, and just like alot of you it was after a night of heavy smoking that the symptoms really started to hit, don't know if there's a trend there... But yea I've got a vaporizer and have blazed some of the sweet herbs through that hooked up to a bong with ice in it. The result is wicked smooth so I think the main issue with smoking weed with mono is harsh smoke on the tender throat/lungs. It's definitely nice chilling baked when I'm stuck with nothing to do all day, but I suggest filtering your smoke as best as you can, even if its just lengthening what you're smoking out of to allow the smoke more time to cool. p.s. DON'T drink while you have mono, high chance you'll rupture your already inflamed spleen. Alright I've rambled enough. Peace out.

I am 17 and I have mono right now and, yes, its alleviates symptoms. The vomiting will stop in a couple days. The morning after you smoke, hauk loogies. Its gross and hurts but it clears out junk from your sinuses.

im 17 and have had mono for a week with extremely swollen glands and tonsils and painful swallowing. i found that it helps if you have a bong you can put ice in because the smokes so cool you dont feel it as much. i dont know if its bad for me or not seeing as my throats almost closed but if your a fiend like me ice does help.

Haven't gotten the bloodwork results back but the doctor implied that I have mono. weed helps with the loss of appetite and the malaise and the stomach/spleen pains. I didn't have the sore throat or swollen throat glands as symptoms so nothing to comment on there.

i thought i had cancer too. its my first time with this mono sh*t and boy does it f*****g suck. im 17 as well about a week into having mono. And does weed lower your amune system? or does that not really matter with mono? oh and do you know if the smoke will f**k with the healing of the throat? its not like i can take fatty rippes right now anyway. I just dont want to f**k myself over. It's bad enough as it is. I havent slept in about four days. havent eatin much in about the same amount of time.
