I have grey bits in my phlegm

[Big Beans]

I'm a bong smoker and I get through about an eigth every 4 days. I smoke it pure through clean awater. For the past month or so I've had grey bits of phlegm that ioccasionally cough up. Does anyone else get this. How can i heal it. I don't feel like telling my elderly GP about it. Thanks.

Just your lungs sweeping out the various bits of smoke residue.

IMHO and in my experience - not a huuge deal.

If it gets black, or cough gets bad, then worry. Or blood - blood is NEVER good (had that a couple o' times before when I smoked cigs and herb).

I cough little now, some greyish, not nearly like before...

I'm wondering if it's just an infection that I could clear ip for good, rather than just put up with

Thanks for your reply.

I assume it is dust and tar from smoking. I used to have this problem when I was smoking alot too

only way to heal it would be to stop smoking for a while or vape

 

[TwoOhSix!]

No, the only way to get rid of it is to stop smoking bongs, start vaping maybe

Nope sorry my friend, as long as your smoking marijuana you will have it, I too have that, and cough up chunks of black shit...i mean the darkest matter, always when I first wake up in the morn..

Now like Classy said it is a way that your lungs are filtering out the bad shit, but lemmie ask you this, do you have asthma or lung troubles? I have a mild asthma and smoking really fucks me up esp cigs....so since i love bud so much i continue to do it, but it never gets better..

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have hay fever but thts mainly in June. I also am allergic to dairy as that snots up my nose. So I'd I have a few nasal problems but not asthma

I will save for an electric vape. And use my bulb style pipe in the meantime and see how that goes

you may have a bacterial infection in your nasal passage...i.e..sinus infection.

Well cannabis is a bronchiodilator and an expectorant so it will help clear bits of dust and tar out of your lungs. Id say if it gets worse somehow (bloody) you may want to get it checked out. Doesn't sound like anything too serious but I am not an expert...

i had a big chunk fall out my ear the other day...
i thought it was bubble hash..but after i smoked it i realized it was 20 years of ear wax.

and when you make it to 61, you'll realize you didn't live fast enough nor die young enough, and now you're just an old man.

60 is the new 30 (i keep telling myself)

I'm a bong smoker and I get through about an eigth every 4 days.

Looks like you might be developing chronic bronchitis as a result of smoke inhalation from those bong hits. The exact same thing happened to me shortly after I began smoking exclusively from a good-sized bong. I started taking lots of big bong hits every day.

Before getting that bong, I had been smoking mj frequently, often several times a day, for about six years - mostly joints, wood pipes, one-hitters etc. There had been some minor phlegm when I smoked that way, but not enough to bother me. Then I got the bong, and started using it all the time. Loved it!

However ... about one month after I began using the bong ... I began coughing up more phlegm. It became worse over time. Finally it got so bad that I quit using the bong, but the phlegm was a still a major problem several months later. Eventually I cut my smoking back to almost nothing, and the phlegm very gradually lessened over a period of two years or so.

I think that the bong must compress smoke so that more is inhaled. Or something to that effect. Not saying that bong smoking will affect everyone the same way. But your symptoms sound much like mine were when they began.

I'd consider switching to a vaporizer if I were you.

Hope this helps, and good luck to you ...
