Is That A Weed Cough?

COUGHING YOUR ASS OFF?

So you’ve been choking all sorts of bullshit outta your throat? & now you’re fucked!! So lets review, your throat feels like you’ve abusing it, and you’re came to the conclusion along time ago that you’re addicted and must smoke every night! I see the problem here, many could paraphrase this, but i’ll keep it simple.. FUCK! Cos you wanna keep on smoking, but if you do you’re throat will feel like a pencil that’s been sharpened to infinity.  Well the solution is simple, and being that this is how i quit . com, we’re gonna look at this.  It really does happen to everybody, too much smoking will eventually land you a smokers cough where even when you’re not smoking you’re wheezing like a bitch. Why, ultimately because……

Regular Smoking Causes Lung Damage!!

Look there’s no point in being in denial here or arguing otherwise.  I know it does suck, but regular weed smokers users are reported to generally have a higher chance to develop breathing problems including chronic coughing and wheezing.  Now here’s where people start going crazy, “THIS ISN’t TRUE!!!” “Smoking weed, is healthier than eating fruit” they all say! Look pal, I smoke too okay, but I’m not a fool I appreciate that what I’m doing isn’t good for me. Anybody that’s under a geese that this isn’t the case, you might as well stop reading here.  Regardless of the strain, weed generally contains similar carcinogens as tobacco. It makes sense if you think about it the amount of tar and the level of carbon monoxide inhaled and absorbed by smoking a spliff ignoring the THC content is reported to be 5 times greater than just smoking a cigarette (I just pulled this stat from a health blog, i’ll hyperlink it below) You gotta remember that you’re smoking that spliff (half tobacco & weed) completely unfiltered and pure i.e. as to get the whole T.H.C content but you’re also taking in all the tar and carbon monoxide.  I APOLOGISE you don’t need another one of those cigarette advertisements style speech saying don’t smoke, especially not from me right? Well maybe you do, maybe I do, maybe we all do… I dunno cos after a while, it all becomes negated, and we all get desensitised to everything which isn’t good, as I love smoking weed too don’t get me wrong but it’s not good to forget it ain’t good for you.

I dunno if this is true, but smoking weed has overtaken in being the cause of cancer according to new studies from the American Lung Association, showing that there is 50-70% more cancer causing material in marijuana smoke than in cigarette smoke and claiming that marijuana smoke contains more than 400 different chemicals.

Ontop of that there is more evidence and test results of long term smoking articles and journals are coming out continuously strongly concluding that smoking marijuana is associated with an increased risk of many of the same respiratory problems that afflict cigarette smokers including shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic bronchitis, coughing and phlegm. They are also finding that weed smokers may also as result of regular cainage expose themselves to respiratory system infections & organisms such as molds and fungi.

Gathering information on this is difficult and in time there will be more conclusive studies on this subject, but sadly I doubt we’re gonna learn that inhaling fumes is good for us!

MORE BAD NEWS?

Your boys will tell you that smoking through a bong is fine, it’s actually good for you. This unfortunately isn’t true 🙁 it’s a whole lot better than smoking unfiltered sure, but sadly not 100% health approved as water pipes do not filter out the toxins.  The main chemicals in weed causing cancer is tar and benzopyrene and none of these dissolve in water.  However a vaporiser on the other hand is definitely the way to go if health concerns are your thing.  If you’ve got bad flu/cold or chest infection and you wanna keep on getting high cos that’s what you do then i’d really say do your lungs a favour and stop the smoking and switch to vapour or consuming weed in edible form.  It’s a bad situation to be in but if you persist to smoke on while you’re coughing your lungs out, and I feel for you I really do.  It’s a circular problem unfortunately for if you continue to smoke your throat most likely take longer to get better and in this case switching to alternative methods of consumption is your best bet.

The truth is, we don’t really know the long term effects of how smoking this new A grade crossbreed blah blah blah cannabis is gonna effect us in the long run we can only hope that the outcome isn’t a bad as thew report in the news and media say.
