Yes ofcourse.
The cannabis is not only the cause but also a trigger for asthma and lung diseases.
The lungs feel itchy because there must be inflammation caused by the cannabis smoke
Get a chest Xray and a spirometry done and see a chest physician please
Stop cannabis at the earliest
Kindly vote thanks if the answer was helpful
