Kid allergic to thc?

My ex-gf's dog was allergic to grass and his own piss, poor guy. i know its unrelated but people/beasts can be allergic to anything. If he is making it up so he doesn't have to smoke then so what.

If people didn't make other people feel like assholes for not getting high and peer pressure wasn't an issue this wouldn't come up. It's not lame at all. He doesn't smoke weed, for whatever reason.
 
Some people do become allergic to cannabis, it can be directly by touching the plant or internal.

Antibody formation to THC has been demonstrated in animals. There are also clinical reports in humans that cannabinoids can exacerbate existing allergies, and there are several reports of demonstrated allergy to cannabinoids in humans (e.g. Freeman, 1983). Munson and Fehr (1983) concluded that: "it appears that cannabinoids can elicit the formation of specific antibodies ... [and that THC] or a metabolite is probably acting as a hapten, combining with a protein to form an antigenic complex" (p289). Hollister (1992), however, has questioned the clinical significance of
this evidence, arguing that:

While it is possible that a few persons may become truly allergic to cannabinoids, it is far more likely that allergic reactions, which have been extremely rare following the use of marijuana, are due to contaminants .. (e.g. bacteria, fungi, molds, parasites, worms, chemicals) that may be found in such field plants. That such impure material, when smoked and inhaled into the lungs, causes so little trouble is really a marvel (p163).

Smoking any organic material is an irritant, antihistamines might provide short-term relief
People have reported anaphylactic shock..meaning the throat can close up and unable to breath, and also hives.
If you use an inhaler (salbutamol sulphate), may aliviate the swelling, or a vaporizer.
Also may break out into hives after touching the weed-allergy to the plant.
Fertilizers and pecticides on the weed can also bring allergies as well as whatever it has been mixed with.

This^^gives some advise as to how to test for allergies in weed.
 
yo i alergic to thc, know why?
becuz i am above the mofoking influence yo.
im dope free
 
i have a female friend who breaks out into horrible hives if she even opens a zip-lock bag with bud in it, so i suppose it's possible.

not sure what'd happen if she smoked it though, probably nothing good

just read living in the moment's post, interesting to see research on something i've seen happen up close haha

Yeah, I know a guy who says he is allergic to bud. He joined us on a blaze cruise and his face got red and such...felt kinda bad.

Said if he smokes he breaks out pretty bad. So I guess it's possible.
 
Largin you're right about that but if he dont want to smoke just say it no one is going to point a gun to his head (ok maybe roundCube up here will :D)
