Man that sucks Could be possible that burning the buds would destroy some or even most of the beta-caryophyllene. Maybe it has to be taken orally for it to properly work.

Perhaps you could have some kind of allergy to one of the chemicals in the bud that causes the inflamation? Or your body chemistry reacts to it so that it produces the opposite effect.
