I had people over my place and had them smoke my weed and many of them smoke more than I do. I vape and vape little daily (up to 1g per day, but usually 0.5g per day). Yet, nobody except for me gets this odd sinus pressure/tension. It happens after my high wears off. I took a week off and that reduced it but as soon as I started vaping again - it came back.
Howcome I am the only one who gets it? I don't have any illnesses that cause that and my sinuses are clear. Yet, there is pressure in them and cheek bones. Its mild, doesn't affect my life much but its still there.

Any ideas? I know its my weed because others don't get that effect from my weed.and smoke more than I do.

Maybe I shouldn't exhale from my nose?

What else is interesting is that painkillers have little to no effect on this sinus tension/pressure.

Congratulations! You've developed an allergy to marijuana! You might grow out of it, someday. I did.

Are you serious? Is there such a thing? How do I get rid of it?

Yes he's serious.

Yes there is such a thing.

The same way you get rid of a penicillin allergy.

Will anti-allergy pills help? Like claritin and zyrtec? Shouldn't I take them anyway to make sure I don't get some deadl swelling?

 

Trocisp

If you have an allergy to marijuana, rather than taking meds to avoid the symptoms (which likely wont include 'deadly swelling,), maybe you should stop smoking marijuana if you're allergic.

Buzzby grew out of it. In addition, I also have allergy to other things around me (pollen, grass) and supposed to take zyrtec. I don't because for a time I was getting anti-inflammatory steroid shots which reduced my allergy and during that time I wasn't getting this sinus pressure. But that was long ago (4 months) and these shots are wearing off.

So, one way or another I am going to start taking pills. Its just I never came across marijuana allergy. I heard people's throat swell up but sinus?

And then...my sinuses are clear. There is pressure in them but they are clear and nothing bad is coming out. I can breath without problems.

Is this dry sinusitis a possible allergy anyway?

MonarchX

Oh man.... its CAFFEINE addiction withdraws is what I am having... I get it on weekends bc I only drink coffee at work on weekdays!
