Technically..... yes... definitely associated with marijuana.
There are the symptoms/feelings/experiences:
headache
one sided deafness
pain around eye
Which if you just stick with that would commonly be from a stuffed up nose or stuffed up respiratory tract (sinuses, eustachian tube) that is near the eye and nose. Yes, smoking can trigger local respiratory inflammation.
But then, we have interpretation:
csf leak
autoimmune disorder
meninges irritation
something flowing down head
which shows potential odd judgement and paranoia. These definitely can come from marijuana and are more indicative of ah hallucinogen than head stuffiness (which can happen from anything).
