Being sick and smoking?

[Weedman420o]

I got a really bad fever, and i'm possibly having the worst feeling ever when I get the cold sweats because when i'm warm I get too warm, when just right something goes wrong.. but do you guys smoke while having a fever/cold? I tried smoking and it brought temporary releaf for 2 hours (except the sore throat). I've got some blueberry kush if just wondering what I was toking on..

I don't smoke but will use tincture or edibles.

Marijuana suppresses the immune system. I would avoid smoking until the fever passes. Fever means your immune system is fighting at full force, and if you suppress it while it's peaked, your body will have a harder time fighting the infection. It is fine to use Marijuana after the fever passes, and can even help alleviate some symptoms post-infection.

You need to confess to us cannabis doctors and medics what you are sick with, theres about 500 different illnesses out there, the bottom line is if it hurts

Don't Do It!

I just have a fever or a cold that's all.

I smoke when im sick. Why not ? You are feeling like shit anyways, and it gives you some relief, might make the sickness more pronounced but none the less, smoking mj is enjoyable.

Would smoke some knockout indicas, boom boom to the head and boom boom to bed.

And as far as blueberry strains go, they usually have a great effect for mood because of the high but also with that funky sweet smell and taste. Heavenly stuff. Might not get full taste with sickness but you know..

If it feels right..

What I have that indicates a fever
-Sore throat
-Headache
-Cold sweats
-101 degree on the thermometer
-Runny nose
Being sick sucks now that I listed these out

I would take a hot bath with some salts (sea or epsom)

Then i would head to bed.

I've been taking super hot showers, seems to help a little bit.

Cant smoke when im sick it tastes vile

 

[LEF]

I dont like hot showers for some reason, i used to but i didnt like how it affected my face.

Caused redness to it, i think it dries it out too, the water but also the steam and hot temps.

Whereas hot baths, they help me to decompress muscles and i think increase blood flow.

This and thanks for some common sense Lef ..!

Your welcome and thank you

Ive said this before but boiling ginger slices, adding lemon juice and honey and you got something nice for your throat and to revitalize you.

Also, they say to drink lots of fluids.

Echinacea is also good for colds and flus, as well as loading up on vitamin c (a naturopath recommended that i take vit c with bioflavinoids, because vitamin c on its own is acidic, but the bioflavinoids (who represent the white fleshy parts of the orange) are alkalinic and keep stomach balance. Naturopaths believe that acidity in stomachs can cause lots of inflammation to the body (arthritis pain etc) like from eating to much of certain meats. They say pork is very acidic. Cucumbers and other veggies, not sure which, have a very alkalinizing effect on body.

But dont take my words for truth, i am just repeating what i hear

I took some nyquil actually, feeling better right now. the only thing that I really hate about being sick is the god damn cold sweats.. Never can be warm.. either too hot or too cold

I'm actually going to go take a bath

and a large booze drink, scotch, bourbon etc ...will clear the air ways

 

[Bean_UnderTaker]

i did even when i have bronchitis just i would stick with a few hits to get a mellow buzz going because every time i've been blitzed it made me a little worse then again to each his own might just be me

 

[orev]

if i'm sick i'd prefer to smoke than to take a pharmaceutical drug
if my throat is sore then i'll probebly smoke less and drink more tea with honey
hope u get well soon

edit: typo

 

[Stoner4Life]

I've been too sick to toke more than a few times, my body told me when it/I was ready to partake again.

best of luck breaking that fever.......

I dont smoke if I have a sore throat it will only make it worse. On a side note I feel like it helps with congestion, it helps me breath. Not sure if theres any truth to that though.
