I'm Not "420 Friendly," But "420 Allergic!"
This is an old article, but I'd like to add just a few corrections and notes. possession of a small amount of marijuana is not a high federal felony, it is a federal misdemeanor. Every living organism on this planet is allergic to smoke. Smoke is a natural allergen. I find it doubtful that you are allergic to marijuana itself, being that your brain contains cannabanoid receptors, and your brain produces it's own cannabanoids. I imagine that it is possible, but it would be a dreadful disorder - much like being allergic to serotonin or opium. The brain is designed for serotonin and opium being that it has receptors for it and produces it's own supply of these chemicals (in the form of endorphins & serotonin). Also, there is some disagreement on the health benefits vs. health detriment of alcohol in general. Red wine in moderation has health benefits due to the tannins from the grapes, but grape juice has the exact same health benefit. I know many people who have lived well into the 90's and beyond who have never consumed one drop of alcohol. Alcohol is, after all, the post metabolized product of a living organism; yeast. To place this in different terms, alcohol is the waste of yeast, the excrement. Alcohol is a combustible fuel. Human and animal waste also contain combustible fuels. Please keep this in mind when you consider taking the next drink - that you are consuming an organism's waste.— October 25, 2010 3:16 p.m.
