Have you smoked cannabis while having severe sinus congestion? …like both nostrils fully blocked and blowing your nose a lot to try to breathe.
Did it make the situation worse, better or was the cannabis neutral with no effect on it?

I can get away with dry herb vapes without making things too much worse but smoking always aggravates everything

Eating some very spicy food will take care of the congestion.
Mustard, garlic, cayenne, chili, etc, all that good stuff!

It is neutral to me.

If I am sick, sometimes it clears me up, not all the time though.
If I am having bad seasonal allergies from certain pollens or whatever, it usually makes it worse.

Every time we smoke a joint, just as we are down to the roach, we both reach for tissue, to expel mucus. Never in all the years I smoked schwag, ( or what I did not grow out) do I remember my nose running from smoking a joint.
My wife is convinced that is why when we got the covid it was like a spring cold, a couple of worn out feeling days, no smell, NOW that was harsh, as I could not smell my buds as I prepared a smoke for us. Oh yeah, lost taste for a couple of weeks.
I’m thrilled it cleans me out!

I find that cannabis smoke helps to drain mucus blockages. A drop of peppermint oil under the tongue works at a deeper level to work on the problem. Chewing turmeric root or taking the capsules works well, too. It’s a natural antibiotic.

I smoke heavy indicas and unless I’m really really sick I find it helps 99% of the time. I did a few dabs once though when sick and it only made things worse. It’s interesting how so many things about cannabis affect people in so many different ways

I dont get the sinus deal, but my throat gets full of phlegm. I feel if I hack that sh!t up, and then take a toke it seems to get me a better buzz. May be all in my head.

I usually get sinus problems with colds, I have omnicrom atm which is only affecting my sinuses and weed dries up the sinus leakage but I think a gravates it a bit as well.
I find weed helps with my colds more than it doesn’t.

I think it helps big time , I’ve noticed improved breathing and less sinus pressure .

Depends. Definitely helps dry up my runny nose, but if I have allergies that are causing sinus blockage, smoking just piles onto that and makes my congestion worse. Headband or hybrids of it give me the worst sinus headache in the world, damn near instantly.
