This may be what leads to nervous reactions after smoking Herb.
In my signature, it shows that Marijuana promotes Melatonin production 4,000%.
Melatonin is practically nontoxic and exhibits almost no toxic side effects, except for the occurrence of somnolence in most of the population at higher doses. Exogenous melatonin normally does not affect the endogenous melatonin profile in the short or medium-term. However, melatonin taken in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) can lead to overdose because MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of melatonin by the body. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/melatonin

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression. In the past, they were prescribed for those resistant to tricyclic antidepressant therapy, but newer MAOIs are now sometimes used as first-line therapy.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors include:
* Isocarboxazid (Marplan)
* Moclobemide (Aurorix, Manerix, Moclodura®)
* Phenelzine (Nardil)
* Tranylcypromine (Parnate)
* Levo-deprenyl (Selegiline, Eldepryl)
* Harmala (present in Harmal, Banisteriopsis caapi, and tobacco; also acts as a serotonin antagonist and CNS stimulant).
There are two isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B.
Long-term smokers usually have only 40-60% of normal MAO-B activity. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/monoamine+oxidase+inhibitor
I don't think anyone knows what a Melatonin overdose can do, but any drug that blocks monoamine oxidase, including tobacco, won't breakdown the exogenous Melatonin like the brain normally would. That would send levels soaring, in some cases, to a greater extent than those at puberty.
And this pitiful adult-nation is afraid of Marijuana because it makes them "stupid". If only they understood the harm the rest of the World does. :(
