I enjoy making a marijuana tincture (green dragon) for my colds. I hate how smoking tears up my already sore throat. The green dragon almost feels like an opiate BEST natural medicine!
When I'm sick, a few hits usually help me feel a lot better but if I smoke too much it will drain all my energy and I'll end up feeling worse(especially at the end of the high).
Idk, i had a URI(upper respretroy infection) last week, and hell yea i smoked. Helped with pain, dried up sinuses so i could breathe, And helps you SLEEP!
But if you would rather not smoke, easy, just go to the doc and get some o' that good ole codeine promethazine syrup, drink 4 oz and you wont even need to smoke(but smoking makes it wayyy better).
PEICE.
Whenever I have an illness, I feel like I probably smoke more weed than normal. I find it makes sleeping a lot easier, eating more enjoyable even when I can't taste anything, and I'm generally less of an asshole to those around me so its win win for everyone.
I've heard people say it lengthens your sickness, but I don't believe it one bit. It's the all in one medicine.
Smoke a good few hits before you go to bed. You'll get very restful sleep and in the morning you'll feel great. Do this for a few days, and you'll feel exponentially better.
Btw, smoke out of a bong with cold water, as hot smoke is terrible for your lungs when you're sick.
