Allergic to a specific strain?
I hope strain is the correct word.

But I believe I might be allergic to a specific strain of weed. Not sure if its my overall allergies (suck hardcore) or if its the weed. How can I tell?

Google results are a bunch of stories. Anybody think this is possible or should I go pop a couple of claritin?

What symptoms do you get? It could have been pollen or some other dust or irritant on the bud, and not the strain itself. In fact, I guarantee you aren't allergic to a specific 'strain'.

Re: Allergic to a specific strain?
I don't think its possible to be allergic to one strain and not be allergic to the entire plant

Re: Allergic to a specific strain?
Actually I think what happened was when I went to pick up, my buddy's dog was there and I petted him. I'm allergic as fuck to dogs, so I quickly kicked him out. Then I touched the weed and fuck.

I should work for House.

Haha What kind of weed are you buying? Sometimes it's shipped up in stacks of hay, so if you're allergic to hay, you might get allergic reactions from hayweed.

No, the main psychoactive component of marijuana is what gets you "high". It binds to cannabinoid receptor sites in your brain that then begin to produce a variety of different chemicals and proteins that ultimately make up the "high"

Also IMPOSSIBLE.

Smoke is not an allergen - it has no proteins in it whatsoever, which is what you are allergic to. Smoke is an "irritant", which has it's own issues, but allergies aren't one of them.

The #1 Myth About Smoke Allergies
I suppose that you might be allergice to the plant itself, but I would think that would involve touching the plant and getting a skin reaction. I'm not a doctor though.

Re: Allergic to a specific strain?
Just took some Zyrtec or whatever. It seems to be helping, but I'm getting tired.

Re: Allergic to a specific strain?
One of my first ounces made my hands puff up and arms had those bumps.
Not sure if I had a hard time breathing

Uhmm, I dont think so, I think its the THC receptors in your brain that get over excited. Could be wrong, but im pretty sure.
