Marijuana opens the small capilliaries in the lungs so you can breath better. But it cannot be moldy! A specific strain is grown and I don't know those that can specifically target lungs. Marijuana is a medicinal herb. Joggers, runners, and bicyclist often use marijuana for training to help open their lungs and go the distance. Asthmatics use it too. It has to be Sinsemilla and not moldy. Mold can kill your lungs.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

For some people the answer is yes, but some medical studies suggest marijuana can help those with asthma. Depends on your circumstances.
Just type the words "marijuana asthma" in any search engine and you will get lots of articles about this topic.

I know many people that used to have asthma and have told me since they started smoking weed they havent had an attack since. Weed will only affect you in school if you let it. Its sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders already so i know it wont make you lazy or bad in school. After you smoke, do something positive like read or study or something, that way it wont affect your motivation and you wont be just watching tv everytime you get high. And yes marijuana is safer then any medication a doctor can give you.Thats a fact for all you naysayers.

no, but it can worsen it if you already have it and it can cause an asthma attack. it can also cause brochitis as well as pneumoia and other respritory problems.. but i was born with asthma and I smoked pot for 5years and it really didnt cause any more problems than smoking ciggarettes did ... different outcomes for different people

Yeah, I'm sure it can. Breathing in any smoke, tobacco, marijuana, or otherwise, can cause harm to your lungs and windpipe.

No it doesn't.
Tho it can put you at more of a risk of having asthma, like smoking nicotine.
Drugs isnt good for you....SO STOP...or get help to stop.

It can make it far more likely for you to gain asthma.
