1. ...they thought it was a bong.

2. OK that made me laugh

6. seriously

It seems logical that ripping bong hits over a period of many years would result in a larger lung capacity.

3. I'm walking and breathing proof

I was in a propane explosion back in 09 that left me down by 40 percent of previous lung capacity. I began using pot only at nighttime just before bed for a neurological problem. Two years later I am right back to the same lung capacity as before the explosion. This was a side effect I didn't expect. My doc said it has to do with the dilating affect of pot. Personally, I don't care what fixed me. I'm just glad.

5. very happy for you! eom

7. wow

I'm glad that you have recovered, and that you found the perfect medicine.

I'm very interested to hear about that accident (I work in many industrial settings, and deal with occupational safety). DU Mail me if you like (or disregard).

4. More exercising of the lungs?

I sometimes use a vape but I have to say, it makes me cough as you tend to draw the vapor deeper.
