What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Throat After Smoking Marijuana?

I have smoked marijuana regularly for several years, but just recently, every time I smoke, my throat feels swollen, painful and fuzzy, my tongue feels like it is burned, and I get ulcers on my tongue. Have I developed an allergy to the smoke? I have tried several strains with the same result.

does exactly that.

So... seems very very likely. Of course things PUT on marijuana or in marijuana or poison ivy ground up to seem like marijuana or along with marijuana (honestly, the quality control on illegal drugs is Shameful ! just appalling !) could also do that.
But if it is the most likely situation of an allergy to the marijuana itself which has been reported in the medical literature Many Times and looks a lot Like this... then, you aren't going to get around this problem with another batch, another supplier or another route of taking it. Bummer.
