I think I'm allergic to marijuana smoke....
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 07:41 PM by MiniMandaRuth
Apparently, someone (Don't know if it was a boy or girl) was busted yesterday in the girls 8'th grade bathroom. I haven't learned all the details, but the teachers are acknowledging that someone was arrested. Well, taken into detention by office officials.... if that makes any sense...

I went into the bathroom and noticed an unusual smell... I did my business and washed my hands, when my eyes started to water really badly. I walked out and everyone in my next class said my eyes were red and teary...

Weird.... might just be that I was disgusted with the whole thing, or some chemicals...

2. Man.... I had a headache for quite a while after that.... it sucked....
Oh well, at least my mom can take comfort in the fact that she'll know if I've been doing it...

4. I don't think a person can be allergic to smoke, I think things need to
have proteins in them in order for them to be allergens.

So, you might be sensitive to smoke, but not allergic.

23. I'm not buying that
My doctor says I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and I can tell. I'm also affected by smoke from leaves and plants that I'm allergic to.

31. You're sensitive to it
but allergens are reactions to proteins.

Google it.

Long walk home every day too...

33. I used to be allergic to weed smoke
But it just might have been certain kinds of weed that watered my eyes and constricted my lungs. This was about 14 years ago, and some allergies are temporary.

13. I had to give it up due to allergy
It made my eyes all red and made feel really weird. I also found it would cause me to eat all sorts of stuff, whether I really liked it or not.

15. I'm gonna see if I'm allergic to it right now.
I suspect I'll be getting some sort of bizarre reaction to it within about ten minutes or so.

18. I see. Well I hope you are not allergic to it, because you may want
to try it some day. (Maybe not)

If I ever became allergic to it, I do believe I would depart this life.

(Just kidding):)

You don't need that stuff. If you never smoke it, you'll be much better off.

22. Are you sensitive to smoke from other sources?
i.e., tobacco, candles, fireplaces, brushfires, bonfires? If not then you probably are sensitive (not necessarily allergic) to marijuana. The only way to be certain is if you are tested. It doesn't sound as though you are inclined to use this substance, but nevertheless, I would advise against it until you have been cleared of any allergies.

29. I don't care for it either. Anyone is welcome to smoke dope at my house
if they want to, but it has to be outside.

34. Stuff always gave me headaches and nausea. That's another reason
I never touched the stuff. You can be allergic to it, from what I understand. If so, be happy. Useless crap. Stinks, too.
