Hello fellow BL's. I have been a chronic marijuana user for the past 10 or more years. The past year I have been on Long term disability due a back injury, and have been smoking more than usual to deal with pain and keep me entertained while being off work. I have minor asthma which isn't an issue, but I have been coughing more than usual the last while due to my increased usage.

I decided to switch to oil instead of bud about 3 months ago as I figured i would need to smoke way less/often to acquire the desired affect . The last couple week although I have been coughing up dark "resin" looking shit out of my lungs, as well as the frequency of coughing has increased. Just wondering anyone can tell me if say cannabis oil creates more "tar" or in general is harder on the lungs in the long run than marijuana being smoked? Thanks
 
By "oil" I assume you are talking about some type of highly concentrated solvent-extraction hash. If that is the case, then yes, it is easier on the lungs because most of what you are getting is vaporized cannabinoids rather than combusted plant material.
 
Also, get a doc to check you out if you keep coughing up dark shit. It could be blood.
 
Yes, that's correct Alexander. It is very potent cherry oil, made as you described. Seems ever since I got on the oil train my lungs have been kicking this out dark ass plegm . Note I do smoke tobacco . The oil was made by a family member, he has been making it for over 30 years so I'm not questioning the "purity". If it makes a difference at all Im smoking the oil off a hot knife heated by propane
 
This phlegm contains tars that have adhered to your lungs in the past and have now been removed thanks to the extra expectorant activity caused by by your additional and more concentrated THC intake, in the form of the oil.
 
Thanks man , that makes sense. I wonder if there is something in the actual oil that is promoting the expectorant activity, or if it's just from me hacking so fucking hard after a hit? P-Helix, is coughing up this tar containing phlegm beneficial?
 
Coughing's an effective way of removing phlegm from the respiratory tract. Eating the cannabis oil, possibly more than vaporizing, is the best way as this helps loosen tar without uncomfortable coughing and dark green/black/brown phlegm is smoothly and easily cleared, en masse, upon waking each day having become detached from the lungs. One would ideally stop smoking tobacco too of course but cannabis oil does help to remove tar from the lungs because of its expectorant effect. When the lungs are sufficiently cleaned from tar, coughing from vaporizing oil happens only minimally. The principle chemical in cannabis known to cause this expectorant activity is THC.
 
Thanks a lot man . I am actually doing good now. Coughing has greatly decreased and have almost no phlegm anymore . I think the transition from all those years of smoking bud to strictly smoking oil brought up some nasty resin. I find that smoking oil is much more efficient , effective and takes less of a beating on your lungs overall . I have 2-3 drops of cannabis concentrate of the hot knives in 2 minutes and I am medicated for hours.
 
I love the oil too. Weed can be wonderful if you get a decent vaporizer, but with oil you cannot go wrong. Love your lungs. :)
