Does Smoking weed cause nasal congestion??? or can it, I know it doesn't do that to everyone.
 
don't know if this is helpful or not, but weed is a bronchial dialator. this means, unlike cigarettes which cause the tissue in your throat to contract, weed will actually open you up a bit. i find when i'm sick and coughing a lot that smoking a little weed relaxes the muscles in my throat and helps me breathe better. of course, this also probably has to do with the fact that i'm a hopeless pothead. as for congestion, i'm not really sure, but i suspect that, if anything, it would reduce congestion. try exhaling some hits through your nose and see what happens.

THC is a bronchial dilator in small dosages, the unfortunate down side is that it is filled with other chemicals which can cause irritation and congestion. It has been used as an asthma treatment, but is not very effective because it can cause bronchitis and other smoking related lung problems over time. Your nasal passageways as well as lungs can become irritated from any type of smoke, marijuana is no exception here. I know of more than a few people who have asthma and can absolutely not smoke pot or anything else with out having an attack.
