About a month ago I had a pretty nasty cough/post nasal drip that lasted for about a week, and I smoked weed the whole time I was sick. I'm not sure if it helped or not, but vitamin thc helped me not be as miserable.

I'm still getting over a nasty little cold that started about a week ago. My treatment is: smoke MJ, take vitamin C, echinacea, and Airborne (2x/day).
Usually my colds last at least a week, but since I started taking daily echinacea and vitamin C, they have become much shorter in duration. But as far as reducing my immediate symptoms, MJ totally helps me feel better, nothing works better for me. Especially when I am all congested at night and can't fall asleep.

lol, a voice of simplicity and clarity, i've been smoking for over 5 years and in my younger days when id get a cold or sick, i always noticed it just made my sickness worse. marijuana is an immunosuppressant, i found some of the posts on this topic really ammusing...some guy got even all scientific sounding, but is way off...so if ur sick dont smoke, ull get healthier MUCH faster...ive had in the past a regular cough, turn into a week, week+ ordeal because i didnt want to stop smoking

Care to present evidence that isn't anecdotal about an idea that's antiquated?

da sAUCE!

it does actually supress your immune system in some respects. but it only suppresses the annoying, unecessary reactions like allergies to pollen, dust, etc..

Weed is HORRIBLE for flu's and colds. It weakens your lungs and immune system when your sick. It also makes stuffy nose and sore throat worse, and the dry mouth I get from smoking certainly doesnt help. I tried it twice when I had the flu this winter and will never do it again.

One day I was constantly throwing up and some cannabis really helped out, I actually got my appetite back and I felt a lot more active.

not at all, horehound is the best herb for a cold

Come to think of it, I really can't remember being sick and high at the same time.
