Well... it also happened with me. Before i start smoking, i had rhinitis and allergies, which made my nose and throat itch like hell... and i also had to take medicines to control it... then, after i start to smoke, the itching lessened very noticeably, until vanish completly. Since i started to smoke i never had any need to take the allergy medicines anymore. For me it seems the weed numbs the nose and throat a bit, alleviating the itching... and whenever i take a break the allergy symptoms start to build again... so maybe weed acts indeed like an allergy medicine. :jointsmile:
