    Ok, when animals evolve, and certain things bother them like substances or w/e, they change so that they won't be succeptible to this disturbing "allergic" substance. After many years, won't our bodies want to rid us of THC because our bodies think of it as a disturbance or a allergic substance. So won't (after like millions of years) we not be succeptible to THC because our bodies are seeing it as a bad thing?

    so, if we eat too many carrots, will we be immune to them?

    Yea, I know it won't in this lifetime, but in many many years?

    I'd also like to know what the mind-altering chemical in carrots are. I guess I just wasn't aware carotene had any effects because I've eaten carrots before. What is you preferred method of tripping on carrots?

    the only way that would happen would be if the people who did have allergic reactions to thc would survive better than people who didn't have said reactions, thereby passing their genes on better than non-allergics. Which i doubt.

    getting high isn't an allergic reaction to marijuana more than having good eyesight is an allergic reaction to carrots... i guess you missed my point.


    i didn't know it was possible to actually be allergic to THC. is it?

    if we were dyeing out because of thc then yea we would evolutionise to not be bothered by it. but i though pot never killed anyone.... so it will never ever ever happen.

    id say this is one of the things to come up in my head when im stoned, but i always forget about it to quickly to go far into topic :S

    it is possible to be allergic to MJ, not sure if it is the THC or another thing in there, but someone did die after an allergic reaction after smoking some greeny green
