Yes. I know someone who is. The face gets red, as does the neck. The hands get red. The eyes get red. I am not sure if it is the pot or something that is used to grow or process it with. But it seems to be an allergic reaction, and I have heard this is not at all uncommon now, though it didn't happen like this when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s.

Possible but not likely. I theory someone could allergic to just about anything. However, pot smoke is not a common one, its antigens are different from that of pollen or the like. Likely you're just pot used to breathing it in, or your body is having an adverse reaction to its chemical affects on your body.

Yes, It's rag weed, I smoked it since I was about 15, until I was about 27, I had to stop because I became allergic to it, it gave me sinusitis, every time I smoked it my nose plugged up and I had trouble breathing clearly. so I was forced to finally give it up,(thank God!) no loss in my book.

Yes. Anything that gets into your lungs can cause an allergic response. Not that everything will, but anything can.

I agree with the ragweed comment...that's what it is so if you were also allergic to ragweed you would definitely have a reaction to pot...
