Did cannabis do this?! somebody help? :/?

About 4 weeks ago I smoked a spliff with some friends, had a sore throat for about 3 days after but that cleared up pretty soon. After that I developed a really bad cough which hasnt gone away despite 2 visits to the doctor.



I have tried antobiotics, pain killers, various cough medicines, and basically been LIVING off cough sweets. It's slowly gettin worse.



I now have an extremely bad cough, tight chest, bad cold, always seem to be cold even though i am covered in blankets, and i am constantly throwing up phlem. Im wonderin if this is at all linked with the weed??



It was the first time i smoked it in like 4-5 months, does this have any effect?? ive been to the doctors twice, he just gim

me more damn cough sweets the second time. I am always tired aswell despite sleeping nearly all the way through most days.

somebody help me out here?!!

and BEFORE YOU GO OFF ON ONE, I know im a stupid teenager that shouldnt have done it, i know its bad for you..

dont tell me what i know.

doubtful. but it sounds like you may have bronchitis. when i get it, it lasts for a couple of months, and meds don't help.
Reply:It is highly unlikely that the actual weed caused your problem. What did was the sharing of the smoking apparatus. You got someones germs. Go to a different doc. You are sick. It's possible you are simply allergic to the funky weed. And yes, it is quite possible. If your doctor is not listening go to an emergency department.
Reply:It just sounds to me like you've got some virus or something. Maybe the friend you were cheefin' with was sick and you didnt know about it. I would say go to the doctor, tell him your symptoms, let him know that you have already seen a doctor on 2 previous occasions (obviously dont go back to the same one) and let have him run a battery of tests on you.
Reply:Go see a different doctor and get a 2nd opinion. Or, go to an urgent care facility...
Reply:dude honestly i think its something completely diferent u may want to check with u doctor just leave the weed part out its not connected so dont worry bout it just find out wats rong
Reply:What you're describing sounds like pneumonia or something like that. Smoking one time with regular cannabis isn't going to do that. What can happen is if the cannabis was tainted with something, it could have damaged your lungs. You need to have a chest x-ray to check your lungs for pneumonia. You can also get symptoms like that from exposure to mold, chemicals, etc. You might try and see a pulmonologist (a doctor who specializes in lungs). They will do a breathing test to check your lung capacity. They may have you get a CT scan if x-rays are normal, or they might even do a bronchoscopy if they can't find the cause of your serious cough. You definately have something going on that needs to get taken care of, and if your doctor is just giving you the same useless treatment, see a different doctor.
