hi ive been smoking for about a year and lately ive been smoking pretty frequantly. im 15 and i just found out today that ive had asthma my whole life and not even known about. the doctor perscribed me with advair and i might need an inhaler but for a long time during the summer after some big smoke sessions i would get really sick and have a bad cough for about a month and eventually it would go away, so thats what lead me to getting checked for asthma but as far as smoking goes i think your good as long as you go for the healthier routes like water pipes or vaporizers. i rtecently purchased a vaporgenie check it out at vaporgenie.com its pretty sick. anywho youll find it definately worth your money to get a good vaporizer and or water pipe and its so much easier on your lungs. and if theres one thing you should stay away from its blunts there defainateley the worst for you.
and also NEVER use a can pipe or use any kind of foil as a bowl or screen it gives you alzheimers.

Ok i have asthma and i tried weed too and i just made me choke a little i needed to drink something its weird imnot sure....
anyone who smokes anything when they have asthma is taking a chance of dying...period.
MY SON IS 12 YRS OLD I AM 31YRS OLD I DIDN'T SMOKE WEED WHEN I WAS CARING HIM HE WENT TO hospital 3 TIMES FOR ASTHMA THE 1ST TIME HE WAS 2MONTHS OLD THE 2ND TIME HE WAS 6MONTHS 3RD TIME HE WAS 13MONTHS OLD AFTER THAT I STARTED SMOKING WEED AROUND HIM HE IS 12YRS OLD NOW AND HAVE NOT BEEN BACK IN THE HOSPITAL SINCE
hi, i have a question, i took an abnormally large hit and while holding the smoke in i started having an asthma attack and the smoke didnt come out of my mouth, i didnt have my inhaler so i used a friends and after i was extremely high and laughing so hard that i couldnt stop crying, i never get that way unless its out of a bong, etc. but i used a medium sized bowl, so is it possible that having the asthma attack after taking a hit can make you more high or is this bad that i had an asthma attack during my hit? (this was only my 2nd hit.)
well i've had severe asthma my whole life and i was ah good son until i turned 17 i began smoking pot and pot only on a regular basis and by some miracle i was able to stop using my bronchial inhaler for months at a time until i started to prepare my self for job hunting i had to get my system clean so i quit smoking pot and my asthma symptoms became severe and frequent .............. ummmmm!!!!!!!!
Sigh, I wish you people wouldn't just assume things. If you were to actually read, you would find cannabis HELPS asthma.. not makes it worse. I hate the hypocrisy it has behind it. "marijuana can help asthmatics by dilating the airways, making it easier to breathe." THAT is the truth. Educate yourself people, christ.
Also to the one who said no smoke came out, chances are you swallowed the smoke.. or you held it in for a time that you made a ghost like affect. Nothing to bad, you just need to make yourself burp if you can, and it will kill it down a bit. When swallowing smoke it does get you a lot higher, more body high I would say.
SIGH. I read a few more posts, more stupid sh*t. DO NOT give weed to anyone under the age of 12, because YES that CAN be harmful. Would you give them alcohol at that age? Think rationally here. If we can drink something that kills thousands each day and is one of the most harmful drugs, then I think we can dwell more into cannabis. Smoking can harm asthma, because of the TOBACCO and other CHEMICALS that are in it. If you are to smoke chemicals, OF COURSE it's going to mess up your breathing and close up your throat.. -.- cannabis has no chemicals drugs in it or any harmful things. In fact, the only reason the smoking is bad is because of a bit of tar, it is no where near as bad as cig's. Cannabis helps stops prolonging of cancer, while cig's cause it. Smoke in general is bad, so it is wrong to say cannabis is bad just because of the smoke. You have to research the actual substance, plus you can eat it or vaporize it, in which that case is not harmful at all.
Are you f*ng stupid!? This is the most ignorant post I have ever read! My daughter said the same thing to me less then 5 weeks ago!! We buried her yesterday. She died 2 weeks after telling me of this post then argued that it wasn't a bad thing as long as she was using her meds and a water pipe. Smoking anything is NEVER EVER EVER easy on asthmatic lungs. Those of you who have read this and are thinking OH well it is cool I can smoke, do not kid yourself. An autopsy showed the CAUSE OF DEATH to be a direct connection to the smoking marijuana. You see the THC that builds up in your lungs is actually WORSE then Tobacco!!!! Do yourself a favor the next time you clean your pipe look real close at what your scraping out from it because that is the same layer your lining your lungs! After talking to doctors I have also found out that many pot smokers suffer what feels like a heart attack that is caused from their lungs being lined with so much THC they just stop taking in oxygen! The luckier people get their lungs scraped out much like you do when you clean your pipe! Other are not so fortunate. Then there are people like my daughter who suffer from asthma who have no unordinary symptoms outside her normal ones from asthma who suddenly drop dead! This is a lot more common then you realize so before you post stupidity like this, do some research and get some facts. What this post is doing is giving teenagers false information by letting them believe "hey if he can do it, so can I!". There is nothing good about any form of smoke going into your lungs asthma or not but those with asthma triple and those with acute asthma more then quadruple their risk of death from smoking pot, cigarettes, hookah, cloves or anything! I can not get my daughter back but maybe some of you reading this will spare your parents the tremendous grief and even guilt of burying you. Yes guilt!! I keep asking myself what I could have said or done to prevent her from continuing to smoke. Was I not hard enough on her, did she smoke more because she knew I didn't want her to? I will never know now. And I am furious at the person responsible for this post. It was easy to find as she had this marked for others to read she thought you were so cool. It just makes me sick!

YES PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF because while dialing the airways makes you feel better for a brief period the smoke you inhale has irreversible bad affects on your lungs especially those with asthma!! I buried my 17 year old daughter due partly to these IGNORANT POSTS by a bunch of POT HEADS that so freely give out "medical advise" based on the fact they love to get high PERIOD. See my other post, it explains more!! I am SICK, HEART BROKEN and SHOCKED by the amount of stupidity in these posts applauding smoking pot for persons with ASTHMA. The LONG term affects are NOT GOOD ONES. DO NOT KID YOURSELF!! YES people do DIE from smoking "WEED"!! YES IT IS PROVEN HARMFUL to EVEN HEALTHY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only does it line your lungs with the same THC build up you find in your pipes, the reason you feel high is also BECAUSE IT ELEVATES your BLOOD PRESSURE. I hate your ignorance and the fact that the only research you seemed to have done was anything you could find stating positive facts and leaving out the negative facts!!! Coffee also dilates the airways but you don't see prescription coffee for asthmatic people anymore then you will see asthma prescribed! And Yes they do prescribe Marijuana to cancer patients to help them eat because the benefits outweigh the long term side affects. There is a reasons this is not prescribed for ASTHMA don't be stupid!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the hypocrisy it has behind your post!!!!

What this person has posted is TRUE! However let me correct one thing. It is NOT a THC build up it is resin build up from the smoke. It is very think and tar like the same as you find in your pipes. Many of you will find you cough up black stuff after you quit and some of you even while still smoking. The simple truth is THIS IS DEAD LUNG TISSUE! And it is FATAL!! YES studies coming out will prove that Marijuana Smoking is also responsible for "Black Lung" as well. Pot smokers across the globe are going to be shattered as new studies coming out will show the DANGERS of smoking it! Prior to these studies it was hard to be accurate as scientists were limited to the number of people they could involve in their research. Since this time because there are some states that allow the use for medical reasons along with allowing people to grow a limited amount. We HAVE been able to group our studies efficiently with a number of groups that include asthmatic persons who do smoke!! Please anyone with Asthma or Acute Asthma think about what your doing before it kills you. Smoking IS fatal in any form to those with Asthma!!

I am 18 years old, and i also have asthma, long before smoking weed iv been sent to the ER on account of i couldn't breath. . . however i was not born with asthma, long ago in child day care, when i was around 2 or 3 a child there had RSV, and the little bastard gave it to me, not long after the RSV developed into asthma, and it had been off and on like anyone else's asthma... the worst times i faces was from allergies, cats are the worst for me, and pollen. The worst times of asthma in my life were years before i started smoking weed... i started smoking weed and when smoking it noticed that my breathes were deeper and easier... now the fact remains the human lungs are NOT meant to inhale smoke, smoking is bad period! however vaporizers will be just fine.
But iv never actually used a vaporizer, to be honest... and my asthma has greatly diminished after i started smoking more and more.. iv now been smoking for over 3 years now, quit frequently to... and still no bad attacks... many people grow out of asthma when entering adult hood... My case is much different from others however, and different people will have different effects.
Another thing is that having asthma makes other sicknesses much worse. any sickness can very well lead to an asthma attack... Even the simple common cold, can be deadly to some, and on top of that smoking marijuana weakens your immune system from sicknesses like the common cold. so if you smoke you may easily get a cold, and that may easily cause asthma trouble...
But again, i haven't had much of any problems with smoking weed, but cigarettes are another thing, there bad no matter who you are. and if you want to smoke without fear of asthma attacks, try smoking a vaporizer, so that u only inhale the THC and not the nasty tars and such.

I'm actually using pot as a treatment for asthma and it is currently working. I'm off advair high grade which I have been on for four years twice a day. I smoke once in the morning and once at night. It has been months since I used my advair. I'm still in shock over the whole change. I stopped smoking for a blood test and within 6 days I couldn't breath and had to start advair again. Since then I'm back on pot and off the advair. I've lost weight and feel great. I've had asthma since I was 5 and vie been medicated since until now.
Results might be different for everyone but for me it's amazing. I don't smoke to get high I smoke to get well and off tumor creating steroids. Please make this legal all ready.
