hello, so i finally realized its defintly the weed that has been making me sick.(constantly sneezing) . if anyone has had this before PLEASE let me know. only reasons i can think of are possibly not drying and curing properly(maybe chlorophyill), pollen sticking to buds(plants are surrounded by grape tomato plants and eggplant.),and my last assumsion would be the possibility of nutrients still running thru its veins. again if anyone has had sneezing attacks from their plants please let me know. I do not want this to happen to my first indoor mmj grow. that would not be good considering im broke and am scrounging to get money to make it happen and donate it to patients legally

im slightly allergic to some kinds of weed i think. When i make bubble hash and get my hands all in the dark trichrome filled water, my hands and arms get itchy and full of hives. It doesn't happen every time but its often enough to be annoying. When im smoking it though i dont really have that problem. You should maybe find a new dealer and it probably wont happen to your bud if you grow.

mold or powdery mildew are what come to mind
hope that's not the case, but certainly could cause sneezing(and worse)

Could also be that they keep it, it grew it, or dried it around other things you're allergic to like pets or pollen spreading plants. This is obviously more likely if you know you're allergic to something.

I second the motion for mold and other fungus , its often not seen with the naked eye and it will always reak havoc on the respiratory system and tax it in one way or another ...Get a scope and take a look and make sure to look at it under a black light to for contamination if able .......

or just grow your own bud and make sure it doesnt get mold or mildew, which isnt likely in an okay indoor setup, and if it is just get a mildew and mold resistant strain, there are quite a few

well i dont think its mold or mildew because i dont see any and the leafs werent curling abnormally ( which is a sign of downy mildew). then i just checked bud with a blacklight and saw no signs of a bluish color(thats wat ulook for when looking for mold or mildew, right?) i do not have a micro scope , i will have to get one. thanks for the input guys, my thoughts exactly i just didnt kno if there was a possibility of something else i donot know of. if anyone has experienced this first hand with their plant please let me know and what u found the reason for it making u sick.

learned about 2 years ago.. I was allergic to it (used nasal spray from costco till about 2 mo's ago.. now use claritin d knock offs....)

hate the nasal swelling.... like having a cold 24-7


IF...... you are not a cleaner.. meaning taking the pipes you use and cleaning weekly you can have build ups of harmfull crap in the pipe..... BUT it wont hurt you less you have a lower immune system..

I got sneezy when i was smelling my plants today... im allergic to most pollen and grass type plants but nothing major...it shouldn't make you sick from smoking it tho, i get sneezy just from the live plants

so gioua, does this prevent u from smoking mostly? because i can learn a lot from wat ur doing since u have the same symptoms. i noticed that if i take 1 hit im good but if i smoke a norml bowl im fucked BUT idont think i start feeling thr allergy part till about an hour after i smoke it. does the claritan stop ur allergies after smoking? are u able to smoke alot or are u forced to smoke a small bit at a time?

It is quite possible to have a marijuana allergy. Many pollens from plants such as ragweed, flowers, and trees can cause allergic reactions in some people. Marijuana is no different. Marijuana flowers produce pollen that can be problematic to sensitive individuals.
um?....they got hermies?
