I have recently noticed my tongue color turning white and I have been spitting a lot lately. I am a smoker and since June 06, I have been smoking pot a lot. I completed my diploma and started doing it like once or twice a week in the summer but that escalated to every single day. I haven’t been able to sleep lately either. I am usually up till 3 -4 in the morning.
I AM SOOOOOO SCARED B/C THESE SYMPTOMS ARE CONSISTENT WITH STD SYMPTOMS. Due to the lack of sleep, I am usually tired and because of the regular chronic use I am performing poorly in school.
Does anyone know what or why this is?? White tongue, Saliva, Sleeplessness, etc.
You need to be seen by a physician to see whether this is an STD. Also, you might want to quit smoking pot!? :rolleyes: You will end up dropping out of school if you keep it up.
Let's see, do you brush your teeth at least once daily? Most drug addicts don't. Well, that could be it too.

Thanks for your reply.
And Yes I do brush my teeth. I feel uncomfortable until I brush my teeth in the morning right away. However, this has been the reply from most of the people.
Some people have even suggested the brushing of the tongue, which I already do.
Anyhow, I have finals now and will get it checked out after...
Keep replying
I can't quit the habbit... ITS JUST TOO GOOOD... haha :o

Thrush? Oral yeast? You'd need a prescription from a doc to clear it up.

Yes, thrush, well that is oral yeast.
And if you CAN'T quit then it is not a habit, it is an addiction.

All Of The Above Recommendations Are Accurate! It Could Be A Yeast Infection Of The Mouth - Thrush. Brush Your Tongue When You Brush Your Teeth... try Twice A Day... morning And Night. And Drink Lots Of Water... could Also Simply Be A Bad Case Of Chronic Cotton Mouth From Smoking Pot. If The At Home Stuff Doesn't Work You Neeeed To See A Doc.

Ask your doctor about thrush, its pretty common, (yeast infection).

I would like to say first, that I am not a medical proffession. However, a white tongue is one symptom of thrush, I am sure if it is not treated in a timely manner it can cause other probems, I doubt it is STD, but get to the doc.
