I seem to have developed a minor alergy to pot. When smoked or even when harvesting. Just a runny nose but wondering if anyone has a similar experience. My mother had a much greater alergy. It could not be smoked around her. I tried making her some tea but she did not like the red hairs floating in it so I drank it.Did not taste very good.

I do get an allergic reaction on my skin when harvesting and also if I trim while the plant is fresh.
After its dried no problems.

I’ve heard of people’s stomach being upset and only being relieved by hot shower. It was happening to me a few years ago when I was consuming way too much for my pain. Now that I retired and take less weed not so often. But I’m sick a bit so it could hard to be sure.

Sadly she has passed many years ago. I think of her often.
Os sorry to hear, well… read that.
Still make it for yourself, tastes much nicer than the tea and the cannabinoids are not soluble in water so the tea won’t really do much for you if you don’t at least enjoy the taste of it.

Ain’t that a shame. If they were water soluable, Wow! A nice bud flavor tea and a buzz. I’m assuming it would taste nice, especially a Sativa. But I’ve never tasted that. I like my Coconut Weed Tea but not so much the oil.

You can make it with milk

Whoa! Game changer. And a milky Sativa Coffee in the morning. I’ll have to look into that.
I do like tea, usually save fan leaves for it but just for the sake of drinking a nice green tea as it doesn’t get me high.
@Foreigner thats a very vague term nowadays, you need to specify that it has to come from the mammary glands of an animal 
I don’t enjoy the taste of plain milk thought that’s why I always suggest hot chocolate.
Interesting! When I take a rip, some strains make my nose run like crazy… but not all of them. I have also noticed that when my plants are near harvest that I will randomly sneeze, which I don’t usually do otherwise. And anyone who comes over sneezes too so I have gotten the impression that it correlates strongly with the ripe plants. I don’t have any allergies that I know of, but I have gotten headaches and odd aches and pains when working with cannabis pollen.

When I harvest I get hives on my arms and I start sneezing like crazy. It’s super annoying I have a hobby I love and I’m allergic to it. A Claritin takes like 90% of the symptoms away. Dried and jarred it’s not too much of a problem unless I am really deeply smelling them for a while. Vaping/smoking is no problem.
It sucks. My sis worked in a dispo as a grower and she developed an allergy too.

This is a good read, it’s a podcast interview between two doctors who are allergists, the one being interviewed studies marijuana allergies specifically:

I use milk to clean my bud grinder. Works great. The bud is aged enough to be decarbed so maybe save it for my creamer… Except now I do not use that budgrinder as much. I have been using a large plastic spagetti strainer and rub my bud through the cracks. The resins dont stick to it as bad and get a lot more done in less time. I roll and give out a lot of joints so the strainer is a win win. Got it from dollartree for a buck and it works better than my $25 dollar grinder

After growing and smoking for my whole life from age 8, I get clogged up as he’ll after smoking, sneezing fits. Runny nose is the worst. I hate it. Whenever I open my grow, instant clogged up sinuses. I feel it.

Same problem here. Nose running like an open faucett along with multiple sneezing. Makes it hard to get any work done.

I got the shit end of the deal. I LOVE Bud, it does not return the favor, lol. 100% alergic to MJ! Not to anything else, just MJ!
First hit my eyes water, then nose runs, then coughing starts. Within 5 minutes my whole body itch’s. Can go through a 2 minute sneeze session by 3rd hit, and can barly talk, lol.
Goes away within 15 minutes of stop smoking.
Notice here last few days MY HOMEGROWN still affects me, but on;y 1/3 to 1/4 the reaction to the bought i have been burning.
Everyone but me thinks it’s funny.

Come to find out I’m one of the lucky to develop a rash when harvesting. I noticed it especially with my recent large harvest. At one point I rubbed my eye and had hives an swelling for a few days
