In early March of this year I got some bud from a new source and it seemed like very good bud. It had a lot of dusty particles on it so I think it could have been moldy or something. I smoked it several times and got an increasingly worse reaction to it every time. By the end, I could not breathe for hours, had severe chest pains, migraine headache, pupil dialation, vasoconstriction, fever, and extreme anxiety. Previously, I had smoked daily for about seven years and never had any of these problems before. In fact, I used it to treat my allergies (I have some food allergies). After this I got bud from about five different sources and reacted the same way even though I was positive that these were not moldy or anything at all. I eventually stopped smoking and it has been about three months now. Now, when I am around people that smoke if I just smell their breath I get the same reaction. I believe it is called anaphylaxis. I have to take a ton of vitamin c and Benadryl and it still feels like I am on the verge of death for a day or two. It is insanely scary. I had to even stop working for one of my employers that tokes. He paid me in cash and I was reacting to the cash!!!!!! Insane, I know. Why have I seemed to have developed a severe allergy to cannabis and how can I stop it? I have a chronic illness and it was the only thing that worked for my symptoms previously and now I have been 100% miserable ever since I stopped. I don't even have anything for relief when I'm having one of these reactions. It seriously feels like I'm going to have a heart attack, seizure, and stroke at the same time. I get severe vasoconstriction and turn white as a ghost. I can actually feel my veins constricting it is so bad. I have never had an allergic reaction as severe as this in my life and I can't even be around some of my friends anywhere.
yea they tell me its an anyphlactic reaction and to stop being around it. psychological problems? thanks but this is a physiological reaction.
Honestly my first reaction was also that this might have a psychological element. I don't doubt your first reaction, but it seems crazy to have such an extreme reaction from so much as touching the money. I mean, my boyfriend has basically a fatal allergy to buckwheat, but if he consumes just a tiny amount all that happens is his mouth gets tingly and he gets super scared and thinks more is gonna happen. So I think it's possible that the reaction you're getting is amplified or even produced psychosomatically. Even if it is a legit allergy, which it could be, you shouldn't have a reaction like that from touching a toker's money. That doesn't seem possible. Could you get an epipen or something just in case? Would that work? I don't really know a whole lot about epipens.
yea i have many other allergies and it does seem insane to me as well. I have never had anxiety or panic attacks while smoking and this is nothing like that. I Have many other allergies as well so it does not surprise me that I have developed a sensitivity like this. It is just very depressing.
go find a shrink to help out with that, it will help a bunch. Trust me, its all in your head, weed will do that.
My friend has the same thing, deffo psychological I guarantee you always think of your high going wrong, before or during and after you smoke - ROLL IT UP LIGHT IT UP SMOKE IT UP
Definitely not an allergy, its in your head. Seek medical advice and contact a shrink, your life will be so much better. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Grasscity Forum mobile app
