So Im STILL coughing stuff up

[Guest]

Thanks for the advice, Sammet. appreciate it.

Want to call people out for grammar and spelling on a cannabis forum? ok, you spelled offense incorrectly.

 

[Guest]

yes, once. and I had a terrible cough. I don't have a cough now.

That's not what I meant, and as I clearly offended you I'm sorry.

What I meant is that to delay seeing a doctor is not clever. For example coughing up blood, then asking advice on an internet forum rather than going to see the doctor.

I didn't mean you specifically, just people in general who won't go see a doctor and then end up finding it's too late. Thats all.

(and offence and offense are the same word - one is english, the other is american)

Oh, Im sorry, Im a little irritable today.

I understand exactly what you are trying to say.

Also something worth noting, this mucous that Im coughing up has a distinct and relatively strong taste to it. I can't really define the taste though.

no problem mate, I suggest looking at this - http://familydoctor.org/x2584.xml

If symptoms persist please see your doctor!

Also something worth noting, this mucous that Im coughing up has a distinct and relatively strong taste to it. I can't really define the taste though.

Again reading your post I can sympathize with the symptoms. I've had all kinds of phlegm and mucous, different shades of several colors depending on what I was feeling.

I smoked cigarrettes for about 6 or 7 years and it affected my breathing alot. I then began smoking Cannabis and eventually stopped smoking cigs. For 13 years now I have been tobacky free, but I always have coughed up plhegm due to my chronic bronchitis (probably a symptom of smoking/genetics/allergies.)

If I smoke alot (2-5 grams a day) I will cough up brown or ashy looking phlegm the next morning and throughout the day. If I take longer breaks I cough up more like you said, I believe it's our system getting rid (expelling) this mucous. NOW, WHEN I COUGH UP TASTEY LOOGIES, it's usually accompanied by a foul taste in my mouth that may last a week to a month and it is usually the result of a sinus allergy (also due to allergies,smoke etc)

When I vaporize my lungs really clean up tho! After a week vaporizing the shit comes up daily, then stops and doesn't anymore.

That bad taste is probably a sinus or similar respiratoey infection and will cause loogies to be slimier, more volumous and more cream, yellow, green etc, as well as brown and ashy etc.

So anyway, glad you brought it up, but I don't think the brown or ash will go away unless you stop inhaling ashes and tar, ie. smoking. I try to vaporize with the only vaporizer I've found that works - volcano, and use it in the mornings, afternoon but I love to smoke, man do I love to smoke...the good thing is, that apparently the research is showing it not to be cancerigenous and may just be our bodies expelling the tar.

Let us know what happens,
peace

Does it taste like... tar? Sometimes when I reduce my smoking frequency, it seems that my lungs and throat think it's time to clear themselves. In other words, if I smoke less, I cough crap. And it almost always has a similar taste, that's why I'm thinking it's the build-up in your body that's comin' out.

Anyways, you've received lots of advice and opinions, but the best of all is, go see a doctor dude! Don't just stay there dying at home.

Good luck

I think I mentioned this in your other thread... vaporize

 

[Guest]

Yeah, vaporize or eat for awhile...until zero phelm starts coming up and your throat is totally back to normal. Then you could start introducing smoking back in, and see at what frequency you can smoke without having a lot of buildup.

I had the same thing happen to me black goo, and red globs. I cut back from blunts and tried to stay away from the bay smoggy air and it has seemed to go away. It't better to get it out, than for it to stay in. If you just take a tinny toke it ussally fixed me up for the day.
