I have bronchitis right now, and I'm taking some Anti-Biotics for it, and such, for the couple weeks until its gone - is it safe to smoke herb?

I've been smoking while I had it, and the worse that happens is I cough kind of hard after a large hit.

Would it be better for me to stop smoking for a week or something?

Well since you probably got the bronchitis from smoking bud in the first place its probably not the best idea. My friend got bronchitis and continued to smoke, his bronchitis eventually went away but I think it would have been quicker if he gave the weed a rest.

It doesn't have to be from the bud. When I first started smoking I got horrible chronic bronchitis, I could barely breath or sleep at night. I still smoked though, and got over it. I got strep once too, I didn't smoke during then, I couldn't really. I would wait though, you shouldn't irritate the lungs anymore, give them 48 hours of no smoking and you should be set...

No it doesnt have to be from the bud but chances are if you smoke regularly it is

I wouldn't smoke if i've got any throat, chest or respiration problem.

I smoke on a daily basis. I've smoked for about a year and half. Daily for about....9 months maybe? Nearing a year I know. And, its not from the weed, I asked my doctor. He said I just had some sort of bug that was getting me, and causing bronchitus.

I dunno, my bat I have been using to smoke has been reducing the amount I smoke as of late, because I smoke a lot less, and get just as high. So, my throat has been like "I LOOOOOOOOOOVE you little bat"

I just hate being sick, and Mary's helping nurse me back to health. Such a sweet lady,

I don't smoke that often but when I do I love the effect. However the last 2 times I smoked I ended up with a Lung infection like within 2 days. I smoked a lot in my younger days and don't remember getting sick like this. Is it coincidence or could I possibly have a bad batch with some molds or something. I would think the fire would kill any bacteria. I'm just a bit puzzled.

Thanks!

You might have an allergy to mold or to marijuana. I used to be allergic to marijuana. Every time I smoked I'd end up with a sinus infection because the allergy would close off my sinuses. No ventilation would lead to a bacterial infection. I'd be on antibiotics for a week to ten days.

I quit smoking for several years. Then I was in the presence of marijuana smoke and had no negative reaction so I tried smoking again. The allergy had passed. Hurray!

i have bronchitis that is caused by my allergies. i have an inhaler, and about once a year do some kinda pills that might make my lungs better, and have gone to the emergency room once because i couldnt breathe anymore.
i also smoke weed, some months none at all and then i sometimes i go on binges where i smoke about 3-5g a day.

obviously, smoking with a lung problem does not seem like a good idea. ever since going to the emergency room, i have cut back on cigarettes to about 2-3 a week. when my breathing gets really tough, i quit smoking everything alltogether.

i would really like to stop smoking for like 2 years so that maybe my lungs could get some much needed rest, but i have a hard time convincing myself that smoking weed is actually all that bad for my situation. especially since weed opens up the airways, which is what the inhaler does as well and thats what helps me breathe.

i dont want to talk to my doctor about it really, and my parents are just saying that i should quit. this gives me no real facts that i am desperately craving, because i really do want to keep my lungs healthy but have a hard time cutting back on weed.

does anyone have any facts about marijuana and bronchities?

I was under the impression that marijuana helps bronchitis by dilating the lungs?? :S
