It is in fact tar from your micro airways (aka your bronchioles, more specifically your smallest ones which are your terminal bronchiolioles). Now long term smoking of any substance can still lead to things like chronic bronchitis[FONT=inherit !important][/FONT] where you could still be coughing up sputum for the rest of your life, although if that was the case within a year or so maximum the black specks would at least disappear from it... If your getting any chest pains, shortness of breath on exertion (more then normal) feelings of pressure on your chest, coughing up blood or anything brown,yellow,green etc , then definitely go to the doctor..............

Well sounds like a trip to the doctor isn't really in need. I'm definitely going to chill out for a little while on the smoking. My buddy has an oil rig im going to see if he'll let me borrow it for a few weeks and i'll make some BHO or Ice Wax. Can't cook edibles due to living situation.
So in a nutshell: Stop smoking (or at least so much), and exercise some more to help work all of the tar out?
One of my friends used to do amateur boxing and his couch would tell him to boil lemon peels in a cup of water, chug that then go for a jog. He said while jogging he would constantly be coughing up goop and tar and then the next day he'd feel amazing. Anyone else heard of this?
*And Mucinex? I've just started taking that this past week as well.

Smoking concentrates won't help your cause I dont think, i exclusively smoked concentrates for 6+ months and IMO it was worse then smoking a combination of plants and extracts. I have had the same problem as you and have quit smoking for about a week and my lungs already feel 100 times better. Ever had blood in your mucus or anything? that was happening to me on occasion, although i think it had alot to do with my job as a work in dry, dust filled enviroments often and dont always have a mask. Wish ya the best of luck.

maybe once, MAYBE twice I've had blood recently. And just like you, I work construction. So it's dry, dusty and dirty. A lot of days after work Im blowing my nose and having black/ dusty snot come out.

This used to happen to me before I quick smoking buts and cut down on my bud smoking! Every fall and every spring this would happen to me for a few weeks. Than once my lungs were done cleaning them selves out, I would be all good untill the next fall or spring! Sucks though, I hated every minute of it.

Not a big concern. before I ever smoked blunts the only tar in my lungs was a brown color. Tobacco = black cancerous tar. Cannabis = light brown tar. Whenever I smoked too many blunts smoking pure joints helped clean out some black resin with the brown resin. I dont smoke anyform of tobacco now because I'm trying to improve my cardio at the gym so whenever I feel the urge for a blunt I throw a snus in an take a bong hit.

LUNG BUTTER. Its gross. Its normal. You probably used to smoke cigarettes at some point. Its just tar from that coming up.
Take some mucinex, thatll help clear it out and itll stop after a while. may or may not happen again.. seems like every so often it happens to me... ive been 9 months tobacco free. i used to smoke unfiltered american spirits... almost 2 pouches a week for 3 years and before that newports. smoked cigarettes for like 12 years before i quit can i get the same shit i wouldnt worry about it unless it hurts or theres blood. you might get a slight infection when you cough shit up because your lungs are raw and sore. thats normal too and will pass, some people need antibiotics some dont..

Inhaling ANY type of smoke is not good for your lungs. I have been smoking cigs and weed heavily for about 5 years, but I have coughed up nasty brownish blackish shit for about 2 years now. Usually about good spoonful in the morning when i shower, and then small chunks throughout the day. I quit smoking weed for a month and i still coughed it up, so i quit smoking cigs for a month and was still coughing it up, I am now about to quit smoking EVERYTHING for a while and see if i can clear my lungs out.
The thought of having those tar lungs like in the anti-smoking commercials disgusts me very deeply. And yea, while THC was shown in 1 study to reduce tumors in mice over the course of 2 years, I don't think those mice were ripping massive bong hits like I do

I've been smoking cigs and weed for 7-8 years, and ive had this black flem problem for a couple years now.
Constantly coughing up this tar, my chest is sore and my heart feels a little off. I need to quit before my lungs give out on me.

Over the past 7-8 years I have smoke maybe 15 cigs (mostly on drunk nights) but I've toked quite a bit of buds. at least 5-6 gravity hits and/or a couple joints a day. I switched around from blunts in the beginning then mixed in gbs. moved on to joints and nice filtered bongs, always having a gb in there somewhere and eventually for the past 3 years just steady gbs. about a year ago I started coughing up brown specks (that look black in concentration) in a weird textured flem that dries into a brittle sheet (very weird) and in the last five-six months i havent smoked anything due to work and other circumstances, yet the black-brown stuff just keeps coming. I have no idea what it is and it happens once every few days but I wont be able to smoke my buds again for another year to year in a half and if it persists to then i will go see a doctor before picking up another dub sack. If anybody knows about this nasty shit or any tricks like the lemon peel one mentioned above (that i will try) let me hear it. Cant believe my gravity bong betrayed me.

Noticed this more so when I quit smoking cigs.
Major lung clean out for month or so.
Also get it hour or two after bong/grav rips, and in the shower in the morning.
All my friends cough the same shit up too..
It's not a secret that resin gets in your lungs. Vape, bong, dab, or joint, all resins up your lungs.
Look in the inside of my gravity bong, probably a 1/4 inch of resin lol
Now think of how much of that made it to my lung..
Seeing black stuff means your lung is functioning and cleaning out the resins.
