Recently I've been smoking Vine joints.
Mullein in a rizla with 100mg vine Alkaloids. Two or three joints per day plus a changa session most days.
I'm a little worried about the health implications of the Vine joints because I've started to hack up chest phlegm daily.
Not a lot but considering I'm a non smoker and quite fit, I swim 5 days a week. Swim as in water/arms/legs/movement not some one who isn't me Smile
Also my taste buds have reacted . I drink a lot of different white teas but recently it is all near enough taste less or not tasting like it did.
I used to smoke, so could the mullein be dredging up old phlegm or could the Alkaloids be doing some thing. Smoking powder could be a bit wrong.
Maybe I should just eat the Vine in capsules and protect my lungs?
What do you think?
Cheers.

I personally would. Harm minimization is what it's all about. I don't see why you would put your lungs through that if you can put it in a capsule? Smoking anything is not great for you which you no doubt already know.

What ever you're doing is irritating your respiratory system.

Ime, smoking mullein was nice but not intense. First few times it had me coughing, than neutralized at some point and I found breathing to be improved and a sense of well-being. Used as a salvia base some times and cannabis base. Pleased Good odor to it as well. The vine should have nice oral effects.

Mullein is covered in irritant hairs. All that fuzzy fluff, if inhaled, will inflame the lungs and make you hack up phlegm in an attempt to remove the fluff.

Were you using filters on it? Wut?

The burning of the hairs and mullein material destroys and burns the hairs. Wink The hairs are tiny, too. I haven't used any mullein recently but everything I recall is some coughing and mild, yet pleasant effects. Cannabis helps expand lung capacity and works well with mullein. I don't think mullein should be smoked too often, either. As with most smoking of plants.

I've used mullein as a partial base for my changa; love it because of it's rich surface area.

For the other properties, anymore I like to make tea out of it; a tasty tea at that. Smile

The OP said he was smoking joints, hence inhaling through unburnt material.

So are asbestos fibers. Tiny is part of the problem.

Filters? oh yes, of course. A piece of rizla card folded in a zig zag Neutral

I think adding mullein with changa in a rizla and taking about 4 tokes per day has zero effects on my lungs but defiantly 2 or 3 Caapi mullein joints a day is not good for me.
I would agree the little hairs are an irritant and who know what Alk powder smoke does to you.
Vaping it is ok but not as good as raw smoke.
I think I just answered my own questions, GVG for the sake of my health .

Oh why me lord why me Big grin

Did some Alkaloid vaping today with the GVG. Its just not rite. The Alks are much better received through standard burning.
So I hiked (2 min walk) down to a newsagents and bought some filters.
Perfect is all I can say.
I will give it a few days to see how my lungs react and then ill know if it was the hairs on the mullein making me hack up..Sorry if your eating.
Cheers

If worried about the tiny hairs getting into lungs ..just smoke through a water pipe thw water should cool and filter away any iratating particles from your lungs..

The idea is.. that these particles wit become traped in the water and not your lungs...
