Marijuana seems to be a wobbler, a trigger for some but not for others. Guiseppi

Histamine (intravenously or subcutaneously) also induces an attack when sufferers are in bout.

Other agents which may trigger attacks include sildenafil (through PDE5 inhibition), calcitonin-gene-related-peptide (through CGRP receptors), m-chlorophenylpiperazine (a 5-HT1a/2 agonist), fenfluramine (by decreasing brain serotonin) and reserpine (monamine release in general and serotonin).

YMMV of course.
