weed and the flu: yay or nay?

Post by bundee1 »

Im getting over the flu which started kicking my ass last Sunday. Its not swine flu just regular flu but very strong. Ive been taking 11 pills a day including tamiflu, sudafed, and giant 800mg ibuprofen. They also gave me a hydrocodone based cough syrup which is basically liquid heroin.

This whole combo has left me nauseous like a mofo and today was the first day I ate something solid.

Do you guys think smoking a little herb will hurt my chances of recovery or just help with the nausea?

Whilst not really being coffeeshop related.....

Smoke if it makes u feel better, as long as ur throat will allow u to. The main thing when u got the flu is recovery. Fitness experts recommend stopping exercise completely so allow all energy to recover, smoking weed will help u relax and will medicate whilst you feel better and recover.

When I'm sick all I want to do is smoke but the downside is that it aggravates my throat and I can't taste all the yummy flavour of the weed.

Ur weed will prob make u recover quicker and make u feel better than all that other legal crap u are taking!

forget all that pharmaceutical shit for the flu, home made lemsip is the way 2go, get some good quality honey (thicker the better) tablespoons worth in a mug, half a squeezed lemon, teaspoon of sugar, give it a good stir, add boiling water & take 3painkillers of your choice. repeat every 4hours.
also a large rum before bed wont do you any harm.
taking some cannabis will of course help, but dont smoke it, make a drink/edible

Not enough weed left to eat. Gotta smoke but I'll use a bong I guess. I just want to do it to get rid of the nausea.

I go for the Honey, Lemon and Rum cure myself, and a couple of days under an extra duvet. When I feel like a toke again I know I've beaten it. :)

Peace.
What a long strange trip it is.
