Marijuana and allergies

Do you think that it may actually help itchy eyes? I haven't smoked for two years and about 2 months after I quit, I began to have eyes allergies. I've been prescribed steroids, patanol and all other sorts of allergy drops but nothing seems to truly help. Every other avenue that I can thnk of has been covered except marijuana. I currently get drug tested so I can't find out for myself, but I was curious if anyone has ever heard of something like this. You would think that it would make it worse, but I suppose you never really know. I tried doing some research on it and as expected, all that was found were pro-bud forums and sites.

Quite the opposite.. doesnt it tend to make your eyes MORE itchy?

I've never heard this as a potential "benefit" of smoking marijuana.

Too many other factors involved with allergies, but I guess I can see why you'd like it to be true🙂

Try to think what else changed: location, season, eating habits, etc.

Yeah, I have looked into all the other aspects, or at least that my doctor and I could come up with. I was hoping that this would be the root of the cause, not for an "excuse" to smoke, but for a cure. Although it would be a rather enjoyable remedy.

Are you sure this isn't a withdraw symptom of marijuana rather than a cure of it? Many people think that it isn't addictive because there are no immediate withdraw effects, but its been proven that it takes ~6 weeks for the symptoms to surface...
