I've noticed that when I smoke herb, I seem to cough up a lot more mucus. Does Marijuana have some kind of expectorant quality to it?
 
I would have assumed it would be your lungs reacting to a foreign substance (smoke). i cough up mucus or something similiar no matter what I smoke.
 
when you hit a vape its pure vapor,very mild, but you cough up lots of mucus if ya got it.

Thc is an expectorant. wiki says
 
Yes, THC has the medicinal quality of being an expectorant (which gets you to cough up all the tar the smoke puts in there). You can do an experiment, if you have 20% THC weed, vs 10% THC weed, you can tell the high THC content because you don't start coughing until AFTER the THC has been absorbed.

No offense, but both these are equally wrong. I don't doubt that smoke of any kind has expectorant qualities, but you will not be coughing up "all the tar" the smoke puts in your lungs (or ANY). The smoke from weed dilates the bronchi, essentially letting you cough up more phlegm / dust etc, and expel/inhale deeper.

We don't need right OR left wing myths here.

Tar is a byproduct of the combustion process, tabaccy and weed included.
 
I love maryjane my lungs feel so much healthier since i stopped smoking cigs a year and a half ago.

I dont notice anything with the pot and im a major pot head.
 
Smoke is not good for your lungs. Vapor isn't exactly healthy either but vaporizing is a lot better for your body and lungs than smoking herb or tobacco is.
 
Pot usually makes my lungs and nasal passages a little more clear right after I smoke but more congested as it's wearing off.
 
i thought the expectorant qualities of weed comes from the stimulation and dilation of the bronchial tubes? when you smoke weed you cough and if there is mucus in the lungs more will come up due to the bronchial dilation. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

that sounds right.

I cough more shit up when i smoke a j. and then a bowl. and the least is when the smoke is filtered through water.
 
I've triggered acid reflux from smoking weed. I don't know if this is what you speak of though.
