What Causes Profuse Sweating From Forehead?

HI, I am a daily marijuana smoker and every time i ve smoked for about the past month and a half now, I sweat uncontrollably from my forehead and only my forehead. I m confused about why I just now am starting to sweat so much and if it could mean it s time for me to cut back?
