is pot supposed to hurt your lungs?!

Well since you are burning a dry plant which produces carbon dioxide it is a little bad, but so is sitting by a campfire. Coughing is normal, especially if you are a beginner. I have a friend who has a serious asthma problem, and he said it actually helps him. It helped me breath better. I mean i wouldn't do it everyday, but every other day, in my opinion would be better. Also to help not cough try not to swallow the smoke, and take a nice slow hit, don't just suck on it as hard.

While pot is not physically addictive, it is mentally addictive. I would suggest you limit yourself to maybe once a week to once every two weeks. Not only that but if you live in america it is illegal, and you DO NOT want to get in trouble with it. It would affect your entire life. Be careful, and don't be around stupid pot heads that take unneeded risks. Like driving around with it. Buying large quantitys of it. Or like to tell everyone and invite strangers around to smoke. You never know who is who these days. Pot is relatively harmless, much less harmful than drinking, and should be legal. But its not.

Now to the coughing, yep normal. And the grade of pot you smoke is either going to make that better or worse. If its ditch weed (meaning its really cheap) its going to be harsh and nasty. Not only that b
ut smoking the cheapest may have mold in it or spider mites. You get what you pay for. What would lessen the coughing is the manner in which you smoke it. If its all you can get my advice is either don't buy it or to smoke it out of either a water bong or a vaporizor. That will make it easier to inhale and it won't make you cough up a lung. Plus if its that bad the water acts as a filter and the vaporizer you don't actually inhale smoke you inhale the fog from the burst thc glands.

Used to smoke.

you probably just keep getting great hits. just cut down the amount you are inhaling and you might be fine. on the other hand, Athsma + Smoke = BAD!!! i suggest a homemade vaporizor. you can find instructions on how to make it all over the internet.

the part of it that burns your lungs is the good part, that's the signal for this hit is a good one. idk about the asthma though, you might wanna consult your doctor. lol but for the love of god, make something up don't saying you're smoking reefer.

That is completely perfectly normal. You get used to it though. Somebody previously said that you should eat it and not smoke it, i agree with that. But it's your choice. I would limit the amount you smoke though.

it may hurt...depends on how big of a hoot and good it is..but ya maybe dont smoke it...i knew a guy he had his first hoot and died from an athsma attack cause by the smoke...you could smoke every day you would end up lazy and lose memory

No, don't smoke, you have Asthma, dummy. Eat it instead, lol.

You have asthma and you smoke?

Yes, obviously it's going to hurt! Stop smoking ffs!
