chemicals

f*** cleaning products. My boss made me clean an office yesterday and I inhaled the fumes from a bunch of cleaning products. 5 minutes later I was coughing nonstop and now almost 24 hours later my nose and mouth airways are still fucked. This is terrible. Im never going to clean with those products again.

fuck your boss!

Yeah - fuck chemicals!

Suggestion - do you have some essential oils or homeopathic remedies available to you? I would probably try inhaling the aroma of some essential oil of sage or get some fresh sage and put it in a bot of steaming water and inhale the vapors. Sage can help with the detox.

The cannabis iv been smoking has been definitly helping with my symptoms. Its funny because the mysterious cough I had a while back was actually aggravated by the cannabis but in this situation which is not mysterious at all, it has definitly been a help. Its made me cough up a lot of yellow looking junk.

Ill try to get some sage tomorrow and see if that does any better.

if you want to smoke something to cough up gunk try mullein
you can also chew or brew osha which is great for the lungs and detoxing all systems
also recommend eating some foods to help clear out the toxins; ginger, garlic, tumeric, lemon, etc......

ooooh mullein -- that's a good one.

I hear mullein is good but also hear that cannabis is supposed to be the best lung expectorant out there. Seems to be working for me.

I was thinking that the essential oils would be able to get up into the sinus linings and the smell would help the brain to start the release. Mullein is more systemic for the lungs. Glad that herb you are using is helping! Sometimes herbs can be synergistic and make each other work better. Maybe some research into what herbs work well with cannabis?

I would definitly love to try the mullein. However my closest source for organic mullein is about an hour away.

Bummer. I have some growing in my garden! Such a pretty plant.
Cannabis it is then (maybe smelling some sage?).... unless there are other herbs that work synergistically with cannabis that we haven't thought of. Might be worth a google search.

"the more you cough the more you get off"
