When I've smoked it in the past (different marijuana on different occasions), I get really bad paranoia and my heart races. I feel awful even the next day. Most people are relaxed on it so I was wondering if maybe my body could be allergic to it.

Never! No, just kidding. It sounds like maybe you just don't have a good reaction to the stuff. Could be that yours was laced with something (some other drug) but if it happened multiple times with different batches, its probably you.
As for an allergy, not sure if you could be allergic to the stuff-but you could be allergic to the smoke. I dont think allergies will make you paranoid and/or up your heart rate. Everyone reacts to it differently. Ive definitely had different experiences with it, some including symptoms you mentioned, and other times been relaxed.
If you havent had good experiences, why do the stuff? Alcohol can be so much fun. If you're looking for a way to unwind, have a glass or two of red wine (any wine-but im a rosso fan). Or exercise to relieve stress. Take up a hobby you enjoy. Good luck.

Yes it is possible to be allergic to marijuana but a high is what you want it to be. If you want to relax, It relaxes you. Its a mind thing. If you do not have a strong mind you should not mess with this stuff. Also some marijuana have added extras (like Meth or crack) and the person you get it from may not tell you because they just want to make quick money. So be very careful if you choose to smoke.

Yes, I'm sure it's entirely possible since it's a plant, although I've never heard about any specific cases. If it doesn't make you feel good, then stay away from it. But it doesn't sound like you are having an allergic reaction to it. Allergic reactions usually happen in the form of rashes, constricted airways, etc. It sounds more like you just can't physically and psychologically tolerate the high.

I've never heard of anyone being allergic to marijuana, but I guess it's possible. What you are describing sounds more like a bad trip associated with psychedelics. Perhaps the pot was "laced" with something else, like Angel Dust, aka, PCP. This can cause you to trip badly with a racing heart, racing thoughts, paranoia, and even auditory/visual hallucinations. If smoking a joint has this kind of effect on you, I'd advise you not to smoke it again, and just stick to a glass of wine, to unwind. To quote Ben Franklin, "Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy." I'll drink to that! Cheers!

Your body is functioning perfectly and rejecting a toxin. The reason you get “high” from marijuana is you are feeling the effect of the brain damage it is causing while your body is fighting to eliminate the toxicity. You might notice that people that have used the drug for a long time are slow, lazy and get nothing done. That’s from the brain damage caused by that cursed weed. Be smart, listen to your body and stay away from that stuff!

Just like anything else in the natural world there is a possibility that you are allergic....if you hated it the first time why on earth would you do it more then once?
BTW: Bruce Lee died from cerebral edema which was possibly caused by the intake of the drug Equagesic not Marijuana.

You can be allergic to anything and at any age! This includes foods that you have eaten with no allergic reactions in the past! I know of a 65-year old man who never had allergies in his life and now is allergic to seafood and dried strawberries which he has eaten abundantly all his life.

Why not just leave the illegal stuff alone? If you have tried it more than once and had bad reactions why keep trying it? You are not cool if you can find the right stuff and like it!! It seems like you just want to find the right stuff because probably your friends smoke it and you feel left out. I say find better friends and go plant a garden instead of smoking that crap!

You can be allergic to almost any substance. It could be that or just the way your body and mind react to it. Either way doesn't sound like you need to smoke if that's the way you react.

Almost every substance can trigger an allergy. But what you are describing is not an allergy but drug induced paranoia. Some people tolerate marijuana better than others, it is definately not for you.
