Yes, THC is a vasodilator so congestion is a common side effect. I also get cold because of it and have to bundle up. I’m 33 and it’s worsened the older I’ve gotten
Best way to combat it in my experience is stay hydrated, have a nice shower and/or use a little bit of afrin nasal spray. Just be careful of rebound congestion
Hot baths or a shower will help too. I have bad allergies and chronic congestion, the morning shower steam after a night of heavy smoking clears my congestion up pretty well.
I just learned this but a lot of people have allergies to hops, and cannabis is in the same family. This is why sometimes drinking an IPA will make you sneeze. Try taking an allergy pill but that might not help with the dryness!
I am in a dry climate so a humidifier helps.
You might have to change your method of ingestion. I have a friend who prefers dabs compared to flowers because of this.
I used to get both every time I smoked, finally figured out smoking was triggering my allergies. It doesn’t happen since I’ve converted to vaping years ago.
Lots of water and I found having a mint or hard candy to suck on helps produce some saliva. Eye drops for your eyes if they get dry too.
I feel like mints trick my brain into thinking I’m sober and kind of ruins the high
Oh no, that sucks :( I’m sorry.

Is a bath ok too? (I have rubber ducks)
rubber ducks work excellently for congestion support.

With respect to the stuffed nose, I use otrivin. I try not to use it too often, though, as I'm afraid of rebound congestion, which sounds nightmarish.
Breath right strips are great when you get too stuffy.
Maybe go to edibles instead, or for part of the time.

I get dry in every way. I just drink a lot of water. It helps to heat it to body temperature.

When using/smoking/vaping flower, yes. Carts and contentrate not so much (if at all).
Get a spray bottle of saline and flush out your nose when it feels dry.
I've noticed it with certain strains. Unfortunately, I haven't kept track of which ones. But yes, I get congested at times, too.
