Can you be allergic to marijuana?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes ... to a point: Marijuana grows as a plant and does produce pollen. However, the plant is usually insect pollinated and thus, not as likely to cause allergy symptoms (unless you have very close contact with the plant). If you are asking if you can be "allergic" to smoking marijuana - the answer is no. Can you be allergic to ingesting the plant? It is possible.
