A member asked:

Is it normal after quit smoking pot to cough up black stuff ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Are you a regular cigarette smoker? If your use of Marijuana was heavy, then your lungs may have some gunk to clean out. If this goes on for more than a week or so, you may need your family doc to evaluate your lungs.
