That's about all.
Who has asthma and smokes mullein ? Looking for natural ways to deal with my asthma when it starts bothering me from smoking weed.
"Don't smoke weed"
Ok ok. Can smoking mullein help though?
I already know what it says online, looking for first hand experience with people who smoke mullein and ideally have asthma too (not so ideal but you get what I mean)

I was noted to have asthma but wasn't diagnosed. I smoked mullein and it increased my congestion the only time I feel COPD or asmia is during times of stress and heavy tobacco pulls. Not very recurring. Mullein I would say helped my immune system for years and I just noticed when I answered your "?"

I am not a doctor and do not have asthma, but to me it seems unlikely that inhaling burning plant matter will help. Benzopyrene and other carcinogens are produced by burning plant matter, as are tars and small particulate matter that would likely exacerbate your asthma. I would suggest using a vaporizer for MJ and/or mullein.
It's your body, not trying to judge, just my btw heres a link about some of the compounds in/ uses of mullein
and another similar link

I've had alot of oil pens from popular companies, and I hated them all. (the ones you load dabs into not the hash oil e-juice carts) I haven't tried any in about 2 years, but I doubt they are much better. They just waste alot and do not give you near as good of a hit as a rig. You seem to be a portable type of person, which definitely hampers your options. I have asthma too.
There are alot of new portable options for hash oil. They definitely interest me, especially for dmt. There are alot of HE nails and innovative products. I'm sure some of them work better than the dab pens. Personally for someone like me with asthma, the best bet is limiting use, and high quality oil off of a nice rig with an enail. If I just take a dab or two at night, maybe even skipping a day occasionally, my asthma is near non-existent with that method. If I start taking 30 dabs a day though, my asthma is horrible.
The best non-portable vapes or rig setups just always trump the best portable ones imo. The pax is alright, but i don't really like it.

ive tried mullein and it's likely the smoothest smoke i know, would be good to mix into your cannabis. smoking probably isn't good for asthma, but back in the day doctors prescribed datura stramonium cigs.. U may know jimson weed is infamous for causing long lasting dissociated hallucinations, or even death. ive tried that also, and one cig isn't gonna trip you out, unless there's some other unforseen interaction, and it really is great for dilating blood vessels, and soothing the lungs.. not that iam recommending.

Would you happen to know how they administered it? Did they smoke it?
Maybe I should start throwing the mullein and this plant you mention into my coffee grinds before I make my coffee...?

Yes they would smoke it. But we know of better ways these days to get medicine into the lungs without burning it. As someone mentioned vaporizing is a good option.
And you can also make a "tea" from it and inhale the steam. Not as effective but probably a little better for you than smoking it.
