In the past month my smoking habits have doubled. I have noticed that while I'm stoned I get a really stuffy nose and sneeze a lot...is it possible that it cow,d be a mild allergic reaction to the smoking?
 
^It's quite possible you may be having a reaction to the smoke, causing your sinuses to swell a bit and cause you ho have a stuffy nose and sneeze. It's also possible that you're smoking weed that has a mold or fungus on it, that would cause the same reaction if you were to smoke lots of it. We can't really know, because no one wants to think their bud is moldy nor can we diagnose you with a sensitivity to smoke...
 
I'm not against the idea that my bud is moldy, I come from a background of synthetic drug use (mostly MDMA) so I know people make mistakes, or that the drug sometimes just isn't good. But I didn't know that it could actually get moldy..what would that look like?
 
It would smell like mold (not to be confused with the somewhat similar smell of some strains of good weed), and have black/grey patchy spots on it.

I think most likely you're just reacting to the presence of smoke. I notice that smoking weed sometimes makes my allergies a bit worse (at least in terms of getting stuffed up), and this is allergy season for most people with seasonal allergies.
 
you can be alergic to it but you would know already... my girl is alergic to it and her throat swells up and eyes water.... it can be bad sometimes
 
white fluffy mouldy lookin bits too.
and yes, it is possible to be straight out bodily intolerant to cannabis.
but i doubt this is it.
if it were i assure you youd be having more than just a stuffy nose.
 
There are all kinds of different molds that can be found in your cannabis, some of them are white and fluffy, some are darker and "patchier" in nature, and some are harder to detect with the eye. Sometimes you can smell it, it may have an ammonia smell if there were seeds that have been compressed, cracked, and the "milk" from the seed soured and molded... Mold is possible on high quality cannabis too.

Like a previous poster replied, it's a heavy pollen year too, the cannabis may be irritating your already irritated sinuses and being the final straw.
 
i get the stuffy nose sometimes too, i think its just irritation. It sucks when i try to sleep and cant breath through my nose...makes the cotton mouth so much worse. That and when its really stuffy i cant taste food!
 
I don't smoke a lot and am not very well versed In picking out the good shxt fro, the bad shxt. The stuff I have now is green with like orange/red "hairs" on it...it also has a bunch of little white furry looking stuff on it...I feel dumb for askin this...but is the whit stuff mold?
 
It quite possibly could be. Can you post a pic? You can look up images of moldy cannabis with google and compare them to what you have if you're unable to post a pic here.
 
Nah my camera doesn't have high enough resolution to do that, I'll just google it. Idk why ididntthink of that in the first place. Haha you seem to know what you're talkin about, wanna take a look at my homemade vape thread and see if you can help me with that?
 
I'll take a look, but I don't know much about vapes, I don't use em very often. There are some people in the forum who vape a lot, and swear by it, I'm sure they'll have some good replies for you in that thread.
 
I get stuffed up when I smoke a lot too, but if I just pop an antihistamine (like benadryl) I'm pretty much set.
 
Yea it's possible to be allergic to anything....that suck pretty bad if you were allergic to bud

but it's def possible.
