Searched but the 2 I found that had to do with this didn't really answer these questions.

So I went to the doctor today, and unfortunately I've got a light case of pneumonia. It started out as a cold n slowly progressed. Now, the doctor said that marijuana use over the three days it progressed was a big problem because it paralyzes the .. scilia? maybe I forget the terms. Either way he said that smoking anything, cigs, weed whatever could be "fatal" (in the sense of if it can't get better it'll only get worse) because every time you smoke it takes like 3 days for your lungs to be able to heal n get all the liquids from being sick out of your lungs. I wanted opinions on that.. but also..

If I used a vaporizer.. would that then be okay to smoke, since really all you get is the thc?

Also I've got maybe a gram of dro left in my stash right now.. obviously not enough to do any cooking with.. just wondering any suggestions on intake.
I use weed recreationally but also for insomnia, and between that and being up all night coughing I pretty much haven't gotten any sleep haha.
 
dude, just dont fucking smoke, eat it, sure-
but when it comes to your vital organs - dont fuck about!

you need your lungs to smoke the herb, let them rest a bit mon.


if sleep deprivation is a problem, try asking for something for it ;)


good luck man
 
I agree with Sega...has he given you anything to help the coughing? Usually theres something fun in that stuff, at least to help you sleep. Pneumonia can get worse really fast, and when the lungs can/are fill(ing) with fluid its NEVER a good thing. Hold on to that gram until you're all better, and then you're healed lungs can tolerate the session, plus as an added bonus your tolerance will have dropped big time. Feel better!

Vaporizer, I know it's not "smoke" but I seem to cough from them, you really don't want ANY throat or chest irritation at all right now. It's in your life's best interest.


Edit: Actually, my mom had lung cancer but pneumonia is ultimately what lead to her death. So far all the posts have given you the same advice, in the sake of harm reduction please take it.

Gonna agree with everyone else, just stop smoking entirely. Your lungs aren't going to heal if you keep irritating them with smoke, even if its vaporizer smoke.

If you don't want to give up the herb then you should invest in some edibles. Pool some money and get like a half oz of dank and turn it into cannabutter (or oil).
 
Yea thanks for the advice, thats pretty much kind of what I had planned on. Plus like purple said.. it would be nice to have a low tolerance for once after not smoking for a while haha
