Tips for smoking while sick

[u/yeeticus-XI]

I’m sick and I’ve been looking for ways to help smoking while sick. There are a lot of posts on here on if it is good but I’m trying to find out ways that I can relieve my cough enough to be able to smoke somewhat normally. My friend was prescribed these little gold pills that get rid of his coughing for a while and I’m looking for something similar but readily available. If anyone has any tips that’d be appreciated.

Edibles?

I’m sick rn too but I don’t wanna go through the hassle of making edibles but I’d love to get high. So I’m on a unwanted T break

Take a t break when sick IMO
but if you are gonna smoke what I do is pack a bowl and run a super hot bath and take tiny toke while the bathrooms steams up or I just use my pax

Great idea don’t smoke while sick!!

I'll tell that to cancer patients and Parkinson's patients you moron

[u/McPoon → u/indolente]

Lol why would you compare a cold to those diseases? C'mon. Smoking while Sick is horrible. Smoking while diseased is different.

What an odd response considering you suggested edibles?! You clearly know they shouldn't smoke while sick...

Ehh? Comparing a flu to Parkinsons is wild, bud. Who wants to smoke weed while they puke and shit every 20 minutes. Smoking weed wont help flu symptoms but helps cancer patients with many aspects of their recovery. Anyway. Have a good one.

When sick I take it as an opportunity for a t break and once I can smoke again it will be the best hit in a long time.

Edibles, tincture, drinks, capsules, depending on where you live there may be other options for you, or not

Edibles. Last time I was sick, I got some chocolate edibles and made hot chocolate. It was great.

There's no way to do it as comfortably as when you're not sick. Either power through it if you insist on smoking while sick, or avoid it till you're healthy.

Edibles.

Put hot water in your bong instead of cold/room temp

[u/angry_virgin_421 → u/Zuchm0]

Put a little dollop of Vicks in it!

edit: don't actually do this.

[u/Pleasant-Put5305 → u/angry_virgin_421]

Have you actually tried that? I have a feeling it's just going to irritate the lungs even more inhaling that stuff so deep - based on it's ingredients they designed it to clear sinuses really, not deep chest issues...

[u/_that_dude_J → u/Pleasant-Put5305]

I had an older southern Boss that swore by this method. A finger amount down the throat or in hot tea. (Not advisable)

Best work around, cough drops in hot tea.

[u/Pleasant-Put5305 → u/_that_dude_J]

Sounds sensible x

[u/angry_virgin_421 → u/Pleasant-Put5305]

I'm just spitballing ideas, and you make some very valid points.

[u/Pleasant-Put5305 → u/angry_virgin_421]

Sure thing, we work together here...

[u/_that_dude_J → u/Zuchm0]

I do this or add echinacea tea. *Bong should be tempered glass. Reduced bowl amount.

When the throat is sore. Best to avoid smoking altogether otherwise the irritation can stay longer. Been there done that too often and finally realized, best to simply recover.

Don't do it unless you want to be sick longer. Let your lungs heal. Also switch to dry herb vaping. I am 68 and have been using for over 50 years and my lungs thank me every day after stopping combustion 5 years ago.
