back in my day* when i could smoke the cannabis Sativa i had a startling realization. I've suffered slight Asthma since i waas like 10 & sometimes (and when smokign cigs) have trouble catching my breath. Its hard to explain since i can still breath but after a few tries struggling ill be able to take one deep breath & it will feel relieving & quench my desire for oxygen. One day i had noticed my lung was awfully wrecked & had some problems i could feel.. I was at a friends place cooking up a batch of cannabutter for his sick parentals when i had an idea. I felt an oncoming "shortness of breath" and waited for it before i began to breath in the vapors from the large pot of stew which had a slightly buttery feel. On the first breath i was expecting to exhale non satisfied with the air but to my surprised it was that "deep & relieving" breath that usually wasnt obtained until 3-4gasps! I was amazed & I Began breathing in more vapor with instant effects. My lungs began to feel springy, energized & rejuvenated. The problems i was suffering from hours before seemed to dissipate before my eyes.. High quality hash would be great for people suffering asthma & such.

Anyone else have a similar experience they're willing to share?

Cannabis = +1
Modern day medicine = 0

below is a link documenting THC destroying live cancer.

im an asthmatic, and ive found that marijuana actually helps my breathing.

THC is a bronchodilator, so I'm sure any asthma patient can benefit from its use.
 
yeah, it helps mine out a lot. major difference after i smoke than before i smoke. i have seen published papers about it helping asthma because of the bronchiodialating effects.
 
I have mild asthma, usually only comes on in full force during a strong flu or something similar.

I find that smoking cannabis makes it easier to breath, albeit 10 or so minutes after. The initial smoke can make me weazy as fuck.

I've smoked with swollen glands, tonsilitus and a bad cough and I've gotta say, that bad cough went away soon after smoking.
 
Yo, cannabis does act as a short term bronchodilator, which means that it will stop an asthma attack mid-way. But because your inhaling smoke and other potential irritants, it causes increased inflammation, and hence in the long run will make your asthma worse.

The only way to get around this is to ingest it, but then the airway dilation effects take to long to kick in
 
yeah it can dilate your lungs but if you get an anxiety based panic attack from it it could do the opposite...
 
wow I never really thought about it, but I had asthma that really kicked my ass back when I played football and wrestled in HS, I stopped sports when I started smokin haha and I was probably a lot more fit back then, but I can do cardio stuff way more now than I used to be able to.. interesting thought

use a vaporizer. same effect, way less (maybe zero?) carcinogens.
 
I ordered an "ORIGINAL VAPORBROTHERS VAPORIZER" from hightimes magazine. It was pretty cheap, very simple piece, its not like a volcano but it works very well, it has a hose.
 
vapir firsts are pieces of junk

vapor bros. are pretty damn nice IMO, just wish they had a digital display. I bought some volcano bags from this guy with one at a festival, so bomb.....so so so bomb!
 
Got a vapor bros, very pleased with the quality.

Of course I'd like a volcano but in no way could afford the $$$

I always wonder if the mist loses some potency as it's just sitting there in the bag.... I do suppose though that you can carefully scrape the sides of the bag and obtain some very nice resin :D
 
I have really bad asthma. I've found that smoking pot has really improved my asthma. I won't give up my rescue inhaler, but it makes me feel better long term and has lasting effects. If you're having an asthma attack do not smoke-- use your rescue inhaler or you might die.
 
I wonder if there are any cannabis-based inhalers available anywhere. I also wonder if there are theobromine-based inhalers.

Probably not, but a cannabis based inhaler is a great idea! (i don't know much about theobromine)
 
For all of you who have the vaapor brothers and want a digital display, I find that if I put the nob to 12'o clock and wait 5-10 minutes for it to heat up, I get a really good draw
