If your asthma is that poorly controlled, you should be on a inhaled corticosteroid. And if you're already on one, you really need to have your doctor reevaluate your treatment plan.

Probably not a city in the country that will keep you that isolated unfortunately. Have you tried an N95 mask? Or one with intake filters?

Otherwise you're looking at the burbs where you can be in your car until the door of whatever store you're going to.

I believe you and suggest you find a clinical immunologist/ allergy specialist. They can sometimes teach your system to ignore the stimulus.

Right, because Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia are going to SO much better in that regard.

Also, "bostin"? Lmao

I canceled recently at Allston BSC and they canceled it no fuss and on time, and no later charges or anything. Was also worried about their reputation but everything was pretty fine and easy.

I give the gym itself a 7/10, not the greatest but it has a cool old-school iron feel I really liked.

The "smell" of marijuana smoke isn't going to cause an allergic reaction. Scents don't contain proteins and proteins are what you're actually allergic to. If you're allergic to apples, and you smell an apple, you're not going to have a reaction regardless of how bad your allergy is. On top of that, smoke, marijuana, cigarettes, or campfire, also have no proteins in it, so you're not having an allergic reaction from the smoke. Especially if you're outdoors where it's heavily diluted in the air. If merely smelling weed is causing that kind of reaction, you need a therapist, not an allergist.

It's mostly when I'm walking by someone on the street and they're lighting up or smoking a joint. So it's not necessarily being around the plant but when people are actually smoking it. Are there areas of Los Angeles where there's less smoke??

you should ask. they probably have a shower in the health club they'll let you use if you're nice about it.

Lots of properties still have gas stoves.. You should ask them before you tour. Most of the luxury buildings and new construction will probably have electric though.

You might want to move to Utah.

You should definitely move to Los Angeles - all the weed there is grown outside and organic so you shouldn’t be allergic.

I’m high as hell and this post made me LOL

Cannabis allergy is actually a thing, because marijuana comes from plants. Plant allergies are the most common allergies, even though marijuana allergies aren't common it's not unheard of. So yeah, I am allergic to pot.

No. I honestly don't wanna talk about it. I just want to be somewhere where I don't have to smell it constantly. It's really hard because my body breaks out in hives and my asthma is constant.

You should pitch this to an allergist so they can study you because from your story, you might be the most pot-allergic person in the world.

Honestly, it's not a mental issue. It's literally my lungs. I don't want to have allergies like this, but I do. Honestly don't wanna talk about it but I just wanna be able to go on a jog and not have an asthma attack you know??

I'd just request a day pass from a YMCA.

There are some practicing doctors who have a specialization in helping overcome allergic reactions. Not easy to find but can help some people. If they are not able to detect it with their tests, then it may be more psychosomatic, which is not to downplay it, but a different approach, like therapist, may be helpful.

The whole city smells like a combo of piss and weed.

Watching for the train always makes it arrive faster. 👍🏼

Exactly my point. It's like I want to go on a jog, but literally I live in the Kenmore area and it's so bad. Are there any major cities that do you have found that the smell is less potent than in Boston??

You not gonna escape weed by moving to other cities where cannabis is legal …is this post even real? Lol

I would move to a state where marijuana is still illegal if your allergy is that debilitating. But I know what you mean — my parents have an apartment in back bay and whenever I go running over there it always smells like skunk

What time is the 5k run on Sunday? Were you planning on checking out of your hotel and then going to the run, and then just hang out until your flight?

If it's early enough you might be able to arrange a late checkout (even if there's a fee involved) and get back to shower before you head out. Generally there's leeway until 1pm without too much trouble. Or even ask the hotel if you can leave your bags and come back and use the hotel gym's showers or something along those lines?
