When I smoke a lot of weed I get shortness of breath. I have no idea wtf people re talking about when they say it helps this. It causes me to get worse until I can't breath at all.

Quality is important too. If your smoking some shitty comercial brown mexican shwag, with low THC content, I can't imagine that would be to good for your lungs. But if you happen to be tokin on some of God's finest headiest herbs, that taste like blueberries and the THC content is so high you feel buzzed when you smell it in your friends pocket at the bar, then you got yourself some medical pot, and I do think that can help you breathe.

It does help but not when you have shortness of breath FROM smoking lol.
Like I said above I have asthmatic allergies. When I wake up in the morning congested and short of breath smoking helps almost every time.

I only smoke like 5-6 bowls a day. I guess it has been about 5 years since I took a break...

Smoke, in and of itself, will never be good for the throat--that being said, THC definitely is good for bronchodilation.
There are better ways to consume the THC than smoking it, vapourizing has already been mentioned, and if you get access to a decent dispensary they will have throat sprays and lozenges as options as well.
If you must smoke, realize that the recreational dose is most likely much higher than the amount you need to simply relax a restricted throat--take a small hit and then breathe the smoke in and out, in order to facilitate absorption directly into the area of your throat--go slowly, and gauge when you have reached desired medicinal effects, and then enjoy.
I use ganja all the time for the odd occasion I have a sore throat, and cannot drink or swallow without pain--half a hit provides near instant relief for several hours
