Sorry this is a little gross but I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this. Up until September I was a frequent marijuana smoker, at least a g a day if not more for over a year and a half. I decided that I needed to take a good long break as it was starting to affect my lifestyle. I've been clean for 2 months and yet I'm coughing up weird stuff. I have friends that have smoked for way longer than I did and never coughing up a single questionable thing. In my mucus this are little grey specks (sorry again, gross). This isn't every time I cough but it happens at least once a day, i'll cough up some mucus with little grey specks in them sometimes just a few and sometimes a lot. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away with time or should I be concerned that there is a bigger issue? I have a doctors appointment scheduled for a week from now and I plan on bringing it up and see what he says but I thought I get some opinions from other past and present users as well.
 
yep it happens. it will go away. i would mention it to your doctor and get their opinion.
 
Thanks for the response. If I were to smoke again sometime in the future on occasion could I remedy this with a vaporizer?
 
yes. with a vaporizer you are basically only getting THC, not tar and tiny bits of plant matter/ash into your lungs. thats what you are coughing up by the way, that means your lungs are cleaning themselves out.

All the time. It's either the weed, the cigarettes or the specific method of bongs which I mostly smoke.

I've always noticed I'll start hacking up darker and darker mucus 2-3 days after cutting down from a heavy smoking period. It goes away after a few days.

Sheeeeeeeiiiittttttt, I'll have tar/resin bits in my phlegm for weeks/months after I take a break. It's all relative, though, it does stop coming up eventually.... your body just has to get all that bullshit out your lungs before your spitting habits'll be back to normal.
 
it is your body cleaning itself. the cilia in your throat get covered in tar when you smoke. not smoking helps your body to expel this.

depending on how much you smoked, it may take a few months to have this stop
 
rigorous exercise to help break it up, running works wonders. ventolin puffers also help to break up the gunk, and opens your airways. better out than in. its a good sign that your body is expelling the nasties. hock it up baby!
 
Cool thanks for help, glad I don't have anything bigger to worry about. I started on some cardio today so hopefully that will help.

+1, I cough up grey to black phlegm on a virtually daily basis, sometimes multiple times per day. It is pretty fucking gross, but I have been smoking weed for over ten years (mostly daily) and been a cigarette smoker for about 8. I mainly smoke bongs and do feel that has more of an impact than other ROA's, there are periods where I have switched to smoking only spliffs and/or dry pipes for some time and I have not had the problem anywhere near as bad.
 
Hacking Up Brown Phlegm In The Morning Because of Blunts?

Was wondering if anyone had similar side effects? I have been smoking AT LEAST three blunts per day. Typically, 6-9 on average day. For about a year and half. (used to be glass and paper only type of dude)

I have heard of rumors of Swisher Sweets putting holes in people's lungs? Don't know if that's fact or myth.

So, nearly every morning I wake up coughing up gnarly brownish phlegm. Sometimes I would even consider this coughing to be a, "hacking".
Usually spit it out, drink some water, and brush my teeth and that's it for the day. Sometimes it happens through-out my day but nothing compared to morning. This is the only time in my life that I've ever had anything like this.

The past three or so months I've also been noticing a shortness of breath on occasion and the lack of ability to "milk" glass anymore. It's just like my lung capacity isn't there which is odd to me. I don't smoke cigarettes. And If I do, it's because I'm drunk (which only happens 2-4 per months). I'd say I'm in pretty good health, too.. 5'11", 150lbs...

My dealer has recently stopped smoking blunts recently which has sprung my sudden interest.. He said he had similar side effects as me also and that he believes it's because of the blunts. (10+ blunts a day, according to him)

Could this be the because of the excess of rillo? Or.. Is it likely? I figured if anyone knows, it's a b-lighter!
 
You're smoking shit and your lungs are dealing with the consequences. Completely normal, also pretty gross.
 
You pretty much answered it yourself, your smoking like 9 blunts a day. Of course thats gonna fuck your chest up..

I Dunno wtf swishers or all those other crazy slang words you used are, but blunts are made out of cigars right? cigar tobacco is super deadly iirc..
