Can't get high when congested with cold or allergies.

[HidingInTheHaze]

Does anybody else experience this, when you have a cold or allergies causing head congestion?

My seasonal allergies are acting up and my sinus's are all congested. I smoked 3 joints today and could barely get high.

you just dont notice it as much because your sick. Your body is flooded with antibodies fighting the cold.

Here's hoping you allergy sufferers feel better soon...... sooooo much pollen in the air today

 

[Mr.Fastcast]

At least you have seasonal allergies.I got the severe kind that ain't seasonal.I haven't felt right in almost ten years.Walking around all dizzy and some side stepping too.I worry that people think I'm drunk.Had times I couldn't even get out of bed(dizzy,vomiting).

I've often thought if i would get higher,not having severe allergies?

Sorry for complaining so much! I just gets F*****G old!

What are you allergic to?

If its weeds and pollen, I read you can buy some local honey and eat it daily and it can help with allergies. It has to be local tho, so it would be made from what you are allergic to.

My allergies only last a few weeks so I haven't tried this myself.

Another thing to look into is if their is any mold in your house, this can mess you up and you wouldnt even know it was there unless you looked.

neti pot
edibles

 

[LyryC]

Raw Local Organic Honey -two table spoons

Ground organic Cinnamon - one teaspoon

8oz warm water.

Mix it all - your cold and allergies will be gone faster than they came through.

Drink two glasses a day - and get your vitamins in - especially C.

On a side note - spicey food/stuff will clear you right up but it is temporary fix.

Best place to buy said honey would be local farmer markets. California has a whole website dedicated to them - so maybe your state or town/county has something for you.

Get better sir!

Weeds and pollens of different kinds. The funny thing is when I started to ask ? at the allergy institute,they had no answers for me so I gave up.They said I was allergic to my cat once and then on the next test it said that I wasn't.

That recipe was given to me by my Mother awhile back.I'm going to try that out.

Mr Fastcast I'd also like to recommend something a bit off beat but I swear by it. Get a bottle of Bragg organic apple cider vinegar and put a table spoon or two in a glass of water and drink it once a day, it will cleanse your body of built up toxins and I guarantee after a month you will feel much better.

I actually think my most recent episode was a cold and not allergies, in which case I haven't had an issue with allergies in 2 years since I started drinking the vinegar every day and may is usually my worst month of sinus headaches and congestion.

Make some tea with Peppermint and Mullein

Zyrtec for the itchy eyes, scratchy throat, and nasal drip... Sudafed for the sinus pressure and head congestion.

I have been suffering with hardcore allergies my entire life. I remember when drugs like Zyrtec and Claritin were experimental, and you could only get them prescribed by an allergist. These meds changed the quality of my life drastically for the better, and I can't recommend them enough. I know, pharmaceuticals are the devil, I know... But until I find a plant that treats my allergy problems better than they do, I will recommend them all day long.

The trick to using the anti histamines like Zyrtec or Claritin is never forgetting a dose. They work by "building up" in your system, or some mechanism like that, so when you forget a dose, symptoms might come back for a day.

I had surgery on my sinuses when I was a kid because of how bad they were, so I know what I'm talking about. Trust me, get yourself on the Zyrtec and you will enjoy life more. Also, you will be able to get high again.

 

[Z-ro]

I thought I was the only one! So frustrating when all you want to do is get high and it just stops your nose up worse.

Zyrtec helps but makes me super drowsy, Im alternating between that and Allegra right now depending otherwise my day is miserable. I was on Claritin last year and it also did well. Im not extreme but I would say moderate to severe sufferer from late march till first of july or so, shit really drags out. Sometimes I wonder how your body would think its a good idea to cut off its air passage instead of fighting it from within? I think I may go to an allergist I dont want to spend my whole life struggling 1/3 of the year just cause some pollen.

I had pretty bad seasonal allergies as a kid, nowadays they behave, just some nose spray on springs maybe to keep in check. Or duact, but had to get doctor to sign recipe for it, and cant bother. Still cant eat most nuts, fruits and veggies raw, or can if feel like having itchy and swollen lips and face.

The best thing i found against my allergies was acupuncture. One year went couple of times in february and didnt have any problems that spring, and i was working as a gardener in central city, so there was also street dust and whatnot to fuck with my nose and lungs. Don't really know how it works, but i remember that even year after going those few times i sometimes had little red rings on some the spots that the needles were on, so i guess it does something.

My father told me about it, he tried it for his migreine and said it helped. Cant remember if it was the chinese or french way, not that i could tell the difference.

 

[theclearspot]

Im pretty ill this week, I think its a bad cold or flu but it could be some allergies. Really sore throat and hacking cough. I think I am gonna make a 'bhang lassi' instead of smoking anything tonight....

 

[skullznroses]

kept thinking about this thread all day after hearing an NPR story about narcon(no OD stuff) nasal sprays are now available to the public

good stuff

Similar cure guaranteed to work.
Fill douche bag with equal parts vinegar and water. Cap tightly and place on floor. Insert nozzle in nostril. Release clip. Jump on bag and repeat for other nostril.

Use MJ as before.

Success.

bruised ribs for 6 days now and a cold/congestion for 5 days, done about 6 bumps in all that time.

I can finally feel the cold starting to break up today.

Because of the lack of weed in my system I've been having some very cool & lucid dreams.
