Hi Beth;
Back in my "younger and more wild" days of youth (lol) I and my friends were avid pot smokers. The first CH I ever had was when we were sitting around passing the "doobage" around. The more I smoked, the worse it became.
Well, the years passed and I fell out of that life-style. About three years ago, on a whim with some friends from work, I decided "What the heck, we'll smoke some and have a good time". After three hits, the tell-tale signs of a CH became apperant (eye swelling, temple vein throbbing, etc...). I quickly left and sufferred a bizarre, isolated CH that evening.
The next month, I did the same thing and the same thing happened, This happened two more times and I realized that pot (for me) was a trigger. A bad trigger as it seems to bring them on when I'm *out* of my cycle, unlike alcohol or niccotine which only trigger the CHs when I'm in cycle.
I don't know if this is specific to me or a standard trigger device for all of us. If you do experiment with this, please post a follow-up...I'm quite curious as to its' effect on others.
I guess the music of The Beatles would have been a lot different if McCartney had CH...lol
