hockey playoffs aren’t until April I think? I have tickets to a regular season game on March 30 at the Garden.

Excuse me, but I'm looking for advice because I have been going through hell and it's something that I can't control. Why should I sacrifice my ability to breathe so someone else can smoke? There's no need to be rude.

Then speak to a Dr. I’m not sure what a city specific sub Reddit is going to do for you. We can’t tell people they can’t smoke pot around you. Sorry.

You’re a grad student but you haven’t learned yet, not to bitch to someone about something they can’t do anything about?

Agree with blend and dbar being the most popular places currently. Both have club and non club nights. Legacy and CC if you want a club vibe. If you wanna just meet other guys look into joining a sports league. Stonewall sports and pride sports are the 2 big ones. Both have competitive and non competitive leagues. I have found most guys meet through sports here.

I think you're really underestimating the psychosomatic control that mind has over matter.

For people with a severe food allergy, simple telling them that the thing they just ate had peanuts or whatever can and will make symptoms start to manifest themselves in people. Experiments like this haven't been done for decades, for obvious ethical reasons, but it's been proven that the body can be tricked into real symptoms without the actual exposure.

You have asthma. You need to be on inhalers. Or one day, you could end up dead. I have three inhalers. I don't like it. But it's what I need to maintain a fulfilling life without having to worry about restricting my activities to what is safe for my lungs.

People are allergic to proteins in the plants that get distributed through the air. They are not allergic to the smell of the plants. Your friend isn't allergic to the smell of tree nuts. She's allergic to proteins in the tree nut dust. The molecules that make up scents are too small to carry proteins. Marijuana allergies are real, but unless you're trapped in a room with someone smoking, you eat it, or you rub the flower all over your skin, you're not going to trigger that allergy.

Smoke irritating your lungs when you have asthma isn't an allergy. Smoke is an irritant, not an allergen. And sitting next to a campfire is exposing yourself to several magnitudes higher concentration of smoke than walking through an area where someone smoked some weed.

It sounds like you have really poorly controlled asthma and you need to be on better maintenance inhalers. The hives is likely you having a panic attack worrying about your asthma and being triggered by the scent of weed.

You need a therapist and a pulmonologist.

You're not going to outrun the smell of weed in any major city in a country that is on track to full legalization.

I was on one due to my Covid infection in 2020. I nearly died from Covid and my asthma was bad before but it's unbearable now I don't like taking an inhaler long-term as I can cause other side effects. However, I don't think it's some thing that I should have to take constantly anyway. I don't want to have to take an inhaler, Just walking down the street five times a day..

That's actually not true, weed hangs in the air. People have airborne allergies, and plants are some of the most common. I have a friend that is allergic to tree nuts, and her allergy is airborne. How is this different? If you're next to a bonfire, and you have asthma, the smoke from the campfire can still make it hard to breathe. When you smoke, or inhale something it gets into your lungs, regardless of whether you're outside or not..
