Even in the medical community, there has long been debate over whether or not cannabis is helpful for asthma patients when smoked. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease and cannabis is a known anti-inflammatory, so could the benefits outweigh the smoking risk? Studies on the pro side cite THC’s ability to dilate respiratory passages and inhibit coughing as factors that make it beneficial for some patients. Turns out, cannabis actually does the opposite of tobacco smoke in that it expands, rather than constricts bronchial passageways.

They are very different drugs used for very different purposes.
sometimes the subtler the effect the more pronounced it's effect. Kratom is good for that. plus it's alot less expensive than weed, and usually doesn't over power.
Eh, I don't pay for weed so kratom is kind of expensive to me.

You can find studies about weed that claim pretty much anything. People here actually believe weed straight up cures cancer when that is completely false.

yes but i know this from experience. i have an incredibly hard time breathing but the trepenes(or something) help me catch my breath instantly. all i have to do is smell weed and my airways are opened and i can breath. i have had this issue since i was young and didn't even noticed how much it help my breathing until i had been smoking for years.
the thc from smoking it helps a lot too..

well, it's got a particularly different usage than weed, regardless. i use more weed than i do Kratom. i don't burn out from Kratom either, it's just got a nice perkup-effect from after use, like most Opiates.

Smelling weed won't help your breathing bud.

Placebo. You want it to be true so it is.
Smelling weed will do diddly squat for your airways. If you want any effect you need to smoke it buddy.

Um... no.... have you ever heard of menthol? Eucalyptus? etc? Cannabis is the same way. When you smell it, you are inhaling terpene molecules which have an effect on both the body and the mind.
When you smell vicks vaporub and it opens your airways, you are inhaling those molecules into your lungs, which soothes them and opens them. There are thousands of compounds like that responsible for smells in plants, which are usually in lipids.

Any smoke is bad for your lungs. They were not designed to be inhaling smoke of any kind.

Its the orally consumed constituents that are healing. Juiced raw cannabis is actually non psychoactive. Smoking anything is probably not all that good for your lungs. (I still do it tho) Doesnt make the plant any less noble. Thats like saying a hammer isnt good at its function of pounding nails just because it hurts if you choose whack your face with it.

Plus there is way more tar in weed smoke and it has over 400 carcinogens which cause cancer.
Just saying inhaling any smoke is dangerous and can lead to health problems.
