Hi Mumma Weed, <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Why is it that in American stoner flicks people always cough when they smoke good weed? This confuses me ’cause I am from across the pond—i.e. the UK—and in ol’ blighty we only ever cough if the weed is really bad. Being a stoner, I have discussed this at length with other stoners and the general consensus is that the weed in America is crap compared to the weed in the Queen’s country. Basically all you can get in America is crap weed, so Americans think that coughing is normal.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So, why is it that Americans cough a lot when smoking weed? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Scooby,<\/span><\/p>\n

I totally get where you are coming from. If you watch American movies, they do show folks having massive coughing fits after taking a rip off <\/span>the old bong<\/a> or smoking a spliff. So, kudos for your keen eye while catching up on your Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n
