Brief Answer:
Due lack of blood supply to brain

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing back.

According to me this discomfort is due decreased blood flow in the vessels (arteries) supplying your brain resulting in the lack of blood supply and transient fall in the blood pressure.This subsides gradually with a day or two.

Hope this answers your query.

Brief Answer:
Discomfort with single exposure is unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing me back.

If you have smoked once this feeling of discomfort should subside by now.Definitely it will not last of one month.But if you have been using it for quite some time and then stopped it might result in discomfort since the body craves for it.

I were to say it is a psychological feeling in case its a single exposure.If it o still persists and disturbing your routine then would like to investigate further by doing a CT scan (since discomfort can be due to a problem which might not be related to weed).

Hope this answers your query.
