I'm not a doctor, either, and won't be one for four years yet. (And that's only if I pass!!!!) Too bad the actual resident doctor in my house doesn't get home from taking our son back to college till tomorrow.

Allergies and asthma are something I struggle with, and I have found that weed gives me some allergic response. I won't ever be sure it's the weed, however, or the fact that I used to smoke it outside on the back patio, where there's tons of pollen and dust in the air. Whatever causes it, my eyes get puffy and I sneeze more than usual, and I get headaches and wheeziness. But that happens to me all the time anyway. On the detergent aisle at the grocery store. In fabric stores. Outside when they've just mowed the grass. On Thursdays and the other six days of the week.

Try some grass and see how you react. I'm sure everyone's different because every immune system is different. If your eyes get puffy and your nose runs and you begin to wheeze, you'll know something's bothering your allergies. Unless you have a serious reaction, you can always take a small dose of Benadryl or Claritin or something like that if you get mild symptoms and still enjoy toking!

Noob needing advice Hey guys, been searching through the forums for an hour or so now and you seem like a decent bunch, but couldn't find anything that answered my question. I'm worried about trying marijuana for the first time solely due to alergy reasons. I'm a hayfever sufferer (which is strictly pollen, i believe) and have read up on Cannabis, finding that some is grown around and contains quite a lot of pollen. What I don't know is if this may trigger the same effects that the summer seson usually brings Rating: 5
