So I smoke pot all the time and for the past 6 months I'll cough up thick mucus which has either black, or grey specks, sometimes black streaks which look like hair. Sometimes it's thick and all black, other times it's clear with black specks. What the hell is it I am coughing up? Smoke????No one else I know who smokes pot coughs this shit up. Am I getting cancer?

Black Phleghm

From a bit of research on the web it seems this is quite common among pot smokers, especially those who don't smoke tobacco or are giving it up. The black is tar. Nicotine tends to paralyse the hairs that sweep phlegm up from the bronchioles into the throat, so the tar stays in there more than in pot smokers; but tobacco smokers do often have brown phlegm.

Yeah I don't smoke cigs at all but people I know who smoke cigs and pot don't have the black phleghm.

You may or may not get it eventually. It's not a solution to anything - it's quite an unpleasant cancer.

It seems to be much better than smoking. There is still some tar, but considerably less. The lower the temperature, the better.
