Does smoking pot cause the black phlegm from smoking cigarettes to leave your body?


Question:
I have a friend (yes, I swear it's a friend, not me) who smokes pot before he works out. He claims that when he works out, it "relaxes" his lungs and causes all the black gunk from smoking cigarettes to rise up so he can spit it out. Is there some sort of correlation between smoking pot, working out, and black gunk in your lungs? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Answers:
He is wrong. I t does relax and it is less toxic than tobacco, but it is not an expectorant. You must be full of it(tobacco) to start coughing up black phlegm,; it normally is processed thru the liver , very slowly. It causes liver sclerosis,lung sclerosis, fibrocystic lung diseases, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cancers everywehre, heart disease, and many many more "diseases". The only thing that gets that black out is QUIT.

Other Answers:
no, and you actually cough up phlegm from smoking marijuana as well.
A girl once told me that smoking pot would make you feel better if you were sick with bronchitis. It does.

I don't think that it has to do with clearing your lungs, though. You're too busy hallucinating to notice being sick. Oh yeah, and all that stuff your friend said about relaxing your lungs and spitting black gunk - probably just a hallucination.
If your friend is coughing up black "gunk" he may have a much more serious problem. He needs to see a doctor.
Tell him to stop smoking pot and come back to reality. If he wants to smoke pot, he should stop making excuses and just accept that he's addicted to it. If he really believes what he's telling you, then he's too high on the stuff to accept that he's totally wrong.
i am not sure, i cough up black phlegm but i smoke both and i am not sure if the pot helps or hurts the phlegm.
Your friend is totally stupid. Any smoking, cigarettes or weed, puts tar and nicotine in the lungs.

A good athletic or trainer would never smoke, let alone before a workout. Smoking constricts the blood vessels and puts way more stress on the heart and other vital organs.

So if you believe your "friend" you need to swift kick in the head!
from the frying pan into the fire
i never heard such nonsense the only black phlegm is from smoking period or something brown/black he ate during the day if you dont smoke pot and your friend is filling your head with this bullcrap trying to get you to smoke pot stay clear of this so called friend
Absolutely and pot also helps rid your body of many other diseases. It aides as an appetite stimulant too. Nope it does not matter that the smoke is unfiltered and may be laden with insecticides. Pot cures diseases.
That is nonscence! Do you wash your body with dirt? Do you put out a fire with more fire? Do you dust your furniture with dust? Altough pot will relax you, smoking anything is bad for you, fresh air is good for you! Now quit smoking anything and exercise!
