When Will Phlegm Production Stop After Quitting Smoking?
I m a frequent pot smoker who has recently (one week as of today) quit due to phlegm overproduction. My question is twofold: When can I expect the phlegm to abate and if I smoke once in the meantime (at a party for instance) will it undo all of my progress up until this point?
