Stabbing pain in my lungs.. Is cannabis really that bad for you?

This morning i woke up at 5am with stabbing pains in my lungs,feels kinda like pins in my chest, pretty much unbearable. It passed after about 30Min's but then it came back again at 7am. I know what the problem is, i just don't know if my lungs are just sore or really fucked up, its because all this week i have been smoking cannabis alot more than usual, mainly just bongs. This pain used to happen after a night of smoking strong weed (with poorly rolled joints). I have been concerned recently with the health issues surrounding cannabis and its usage, how bad is it actually for you? How long would it take for it to take an effect of my health? I ask these questions because i am currently doing a college course which requires alot of fitness. I rarely smoke cigarettes and i dont smoke cannabis too much, just alot more recently. So can anyone help me out?... Are my lungs fucked up or just sore? Anyone experienced the same? also how bad is cannabis actually for you? Thx M.M

I think you've just irritated your lungs because they aren't used to how much you are smoking.
Have you been coughing a lot after toking this past week? Coughing can cause inflamation of the chest wall, which can be quite painful. I've had this happen and my room mate rushed me to the hospital, lol. Doctor said it wasn't dangerous and was caused by coughing and the mild chest cold I had at the time.
I don't know anyone, nor have I ever heard of anyone, who suffered from any kind of permanent lung damage due to marijuana. I don't think anyone has ever died from marijuana alone.

I haven't really been coughing that much, a bit more than usual, but not enough to cause any damage. Your probially right, its just that my lungs arnt used to so much abuse. Thanks alot M.M Has anyone else got any opinions about the health risks surrounding cannabis?

Consider this, at the height of my use I was up to an AVERAGE of 6-7g a day, usually smoked through a large bong. 1 or 2 grams in one toke wasn't out of the question, and was actually a pretty nice way to start off the day
I spent about 3 weeks of detox after this. Coughed up a LOT of nice black shit, but I felt like my lungs were back to normal after only one week of not smoking anything.

Oh man, I remember one night... holy fuck. I had this cold, which caused me to cough a huge amount, and I had just bought a quarter. And this joint, around 2.5 grams, was smoked between two people. And before that we smoked some bowls. The next day, I couldn't breath. I was lying there uneable to inhale a full lung of air because it hurt to much. It hurt too much to inhale even a small amount. I was taking ridiculously short breathes, and when I tried to turn my body, my lungs hurt. It really sucked. And they say Cannabis is a softdrug.

cannabis actually dilates the bronchial tubes... a natural expectorant..as opposed to tobacco which constricts the bronchials.. cough that shit up when you smoke.. ohhhhh yeaaaaah

That is interesting.... I have heard similar things but never really understood how it works. Have you read the cannabibles?

This has actually happened to me a few times, even the exact same circumstance (waking up in the middle of the night) I'm not sure what causes it at all.
