Cannabis allergy?

[khaosddt]

Sometime with high grade weed, when i roll a joint bare naked, and some microscopic weed particles fell on me, my skin is getting really red and itching really bad, what can it be? It only does me this with high grade weed.

Maybe pesticides on weed?

The weed could possibly irritate your skin and cause you to get a rash. If its nothing serious try rubbing weed on your skin and see what happens?

Also are you high while this happens?

Don't really know what else to tell you lol

I developed an allergy to oral weed over time. At this point, if I eat a standard dose I get hives all over, my sinuses swell up (looks like I shoved a peanut under my inside corner of my upper eyelid), and my chest gets tight and hurts for about 6 hours. It sucks because I greatly preferred the high from oral to smoking. Thankfully the synthetics and smoking are still an option (I think the heat destroys whatever I'm allergic to). I think I might be able to eat kief and still get the classic eaten weed high because the plant proteins probably aren't as concentrated. Search the threads I've started. I once made a thread in ADD asking about this.

why were u rolling a J naked?

I'd recommend rolling a joint with your clothes on. Thats what everyone else on this forum does without any issues.

What, you guys don't enjoy a post-coital joint? I roll joints naked all the time. Although, it doesn't bring me out in a rash.

I've never skinned up naked - but close with boxer shorts on that are a size too small hah. I get the same reaction if I drop weed on my leg big ass hives and stuff...

Shit made me paranoid for months.

I have the exact same reaction. I believe it to be from over-exposure to the glands on the plant.
My buddy thought I was kidding when I told him this, and tossed a keybump full of kief (sp?) on my forearm. Well, I scratched it to hell and got out of my job for a week with "poison ivy". - Leads me to believe its just the glands or crystals

With me, it didn't develop until after I had handled cannabis extensively. My buddy, who knows a LOT of people in the game, said he knows several people that use long sleeves and kitchen gloves when handling due to the same reaction.

I have found this out about treatment...

There is no cream/ointment....

Once you begin to feel the itch coming, and believe me, you will; do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT TOUCH ANYWHERE NEAR IT.

After about 10-15 minutes mine go away completely. However, if I scratch it even once, the reaction spreads and the bumps grow in size dramatically as well as lasting for a day at least.

Oh yea, the reaction is even more present and potent with marijuana that is still alive...
