Never had this personally.
Pot affects people differently imho
People who can’t use pot have many different reactions and this is one of them.

I have read that those of us that get off on it are actually allergic to it …but I don’t believe that.

Too little is known about cannabis in general and with Rs in charge we will go backwards in the ground breaking information we have been able to gain since so many states are now legal.
