Hi, allergy can occur with any food, plant,smoke,dust etc even at a later stage of life which was not before,this possibility cannot be rule out that u had red patches over chest and neck due to marijuana smoke,now to diagnose allergy there is no clearcut lab parameters except for drugs,and by history taking only one can comment on that,so
If u are allergic then avoidance of allergen is the best way to get rid off it although there are good drugs available in market.
