I smoked weed constantly from 16-24. I stopped smoking for the past year and I’m doing good in life now and don’t miss it. But I worry constantly if I fucked up my health permanently, mostly my throat and my lungs. I must have smoked hundreds of wax cartridges as well as hitting my bong. I feel like I can’t breathe quite as good as I used to and my throat is weaker. Just wondering if I’m being irrational to worry about this. Am I basically recovered to the same health I was before weed? Am I going to die of a lung disease at 50?
maybe you got covid or something
In order to breathe better you'll have to stretch your mouth and throat with a phallic object and to prevent swelling you need to apply a salty protein based solution on it immediately afterwards.
Or have you stopped believing that weed isn't a magical medicine against literally any disease?
Your throat and lungs will recover, since you have your supple youth to heal your damaged tissues.
However, you shouldn't be taking in any THC under the age of 25, because your brain hasn't fully developed yet. As a result, you're probably feeling a little dumber and slower, especially when you sober up.
>Am I going to die of a lung disease at 50?
Let's be a little more optimistic and make it past 30 first.
after a year, you should be alright
you probably don't remember exactly how well you were breathing at 20
you should confirm it with lung capacity test or something
I'd doubt you've scarred your lungs, and any damage you've sustained from smoking has probably healed
Honestly you might just be in bad shape?
I have tried those cartridges recently. They make my lungs feel TERRIBLE. They don't burn, but they leave a lingering pain that I hate
Idk I basically stopped smoking like 7ish years ago, and only just recently took a few hits on one of those guys and hated it
>Am I basically recovered to the same health I was before weed?
Not yet. Weed is extremely high in tar, and tar deposits in the lungs.
The lungs do recover, to a degree, but it takes years and you will never be as good as you could have been.
Start aerobic exercise.
Lungs are the least of your worry, you fucked up your brain and your chances becoming a shizo skyrocketed
Just stop using carts and switch to a dry herb vape, dabs as well as edibles. These are way cleaner.
dabs and other concentrates are absolutely not cleaner
edibles > volcano vaping dry herb > smoking herb via combustion > everything else, in terms of healthiness
I disagree. Dabs are weed extract with zero chlorophyll, inert matter. It's extremely pure.
I do love my dry herb vapes though. The TinyMight 2 is lovely.
it's not like im fucking saying nobody should ever smoke weed or they will get schizophrenia, fuck you for trying to imply thats my stance or something. if you werent baked as fuck you could probably more easily follow along but my first point was that the lungs are gonna be fine, and the main concern would be abusing weed regularly from 16-25 would have much more significant health impacts on your brain and its development than any of the other mentioned concerns. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WEED IS BAD OR EVERY TEENAGE POTHEAD IS GONNA HAVE SEVERE BRAIN DMG. people are not a singular entity, it will affect people differently, and will vary based on many factors like genetics, familial disorders, existing mental disorders, etcetc.
what is truly odd is that you cant even discuss these aspects without triggering bad faith losers and glowies who have some kind of agenda to discount any statement that doesnt praise or glorify toking up every single day from teenager to 75 year old grandpa. really makes you think.. unless you're stoned in which case you"re probably just hungies and need some good grubbin right about now and a nice long goon sesh. smoke eat jerk repeat hahaha hang on i gotta get high before i post this pepe
That’s crazy smoking weed at 16 glad I started smoking when I graduated hs n the struggle of college crept up on me
You didn't do cardio before every session? Uh oh. Someone thinks he can quit when he skipped steps and missed out on a Jesus revelation rhematos concerning...? You never smoked in your life. You never started.
