Guy I'm dating seems to be addicted to marijuana & I am highly allergic.

I've been dating the most amazing guy for nearly 2 months now. He is sweet, affectionate, attentive, funny and generous and we have absolutely everything in common. I think he is awesome.

However, I have slowly found out that he is a huge pothead and smokes up to 6 blunts a day. On the first couple of dates, he didn't smoke around me or he smoked only a tiny bit and nothing happened to me. However, on our last two dates he has started smoking quite a bit and I have realised I am allergic to weed. For about 3 days after our dates, my eyes are bright red, watery, and painful and it feels like I have terrible hayfever, which I've never had before.

Now, I have a massive dilemma. He is amazing, and I can see a future with him. But, do we really have a future if I can't ever be around him when he smokes? Without the allergic reaction, I don't have a problem with him getting high at all. But my body clearly doesn't like it, so I'm not sure what to do.

Be honest with him. I think he'll have to choose. You can't date him if you're having an allergic reaction whenever you're around him.

Sounds like a great future.. as weed-dependent potheads do so well 99% of the time!

Anyway, clearly as above either he ditches or you do.

I'd love to see some research into this; since THC and other cannabinoids fit perfectly into certain receptors in the brain, I didn't think that would be a biological possibility - like being allergic to a hormone.
