Does the 'ERB make you SKINNY or FAT?

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Hmmmm...I was just perusing a popular video-site and came across this interesting video that was stating that cannabis/marijuana helped keep the pounds/kilo's off...

Well...in my experience I have found that most cannabis varieties compel me to want to eat, but this video is saying the opposite:

*what's your take on this topic, does cannabis/marijuana consumption make you SKINNY or FAT?

 

[FireIn.TheSky]

Cannabinoid THCv is actually an appetite surpressent, I believe it's found in African varieties among others.

Me personally most strains dont typically make me hungry, occassionally I'll smoke and want to eat but not like a ravenous pig or anything.

I would say it's half and half as I know cancer patients use herb to quell nausea and gain an appetite.

I smoke weed everyday and I'm not skinny, not obese either but I doubt that has much to do with the weed, I like food.

Yes....I find that many varieties tend to heighten the senses, particularly taste, so making food taste better.

We have good group here to survey from the find the answer:
Are you fat?
How many ounces a week do you smoke?
Were you fat before you started smoking (only answer this question if you think that the BMI of a twelve year old is relevant to the health status of someone closing in on 50)

my answers: no, as many as possible, i don't remember

 

[lollercopters]

What if the person you buy it from has something to do with how much you eat. So glad im not fat or skinny those people always get singled out and discriminated against.

 

[TNTBudSticker]

I would say pot makes me skinny.

I Love food..all types of food...When I hit the bong or pipe,My Appetite supresses as I got older.

Maybe when I was before 25 years old,,,food was good while being stoned..It didn't touch my body mass and did have less weed as it's being illegal at that time and smoked less...but over 40 years old and legalized,it does make me smaller and supresses my appetite because I may be smoking too much.

i doubt it actually effects your metabolism, so its probably down to food choices and overall calories.

 

[Genghis Kush]

I've found that when I'm smoking a lot it causes me to loose weight.
Partly because I eat less but also something seems to make my food absorption not as proficient. Maybe the excessive smoke does something to the intestines.

 

[Baron Greenback]

It does apparently speed up your metabolism. I read somewhere (with the usual can't remember where, or who it is attributed to) that regular, daily smokers can take on board around 300 calories extra without per day gaining weight - just look around your smoking circle, anyone obese or in real need of losing weight?

 

[LarryBudMelman]

Some people eat out of boredom. I usually just vape more weed when I'm bored

It varies strain to strain though as well, I have some stuff right now that can make me eat a box of cereal before bed if I'm not careful

 

[unclefishstick]

hmmm...
well,i started smoking pot at 15 and at 51 i wear the same pant size,but i also dont own a car and ride a bike 100-150 miles a week...

so tough to say,im always stoned and always hungry,but i dont think its the pot giving me munchies,i think i just burn a ton of calories each day,and riding the bike keeps me away from too much junk food since it just makes me feel like crap on the bike...

whenever i was overweight and smoking weed i was also drinking alcohol to excess,thats what really leads you to being at the taco bell drive thru at 1 in the morning...

 

[BudToaster]

i vape an ounce per month / gram per day ... no effect on my weight. BMI 22. i found aerobics - NordicTrack for 30 minutes per day - makes me want to eat only real food ... for the last 35 years. but i think it's really a genetics thing, i lucked out with skinny DNA.

How about the Deion Sanders answer - 'both'


I remember back in 2002. I was doing double workouts most days & weighed around 200. & I'm 5' 7".

My job at the time was sedentary so most of my exercise was, from the workouts.

At the time, Jack's had these great Raspberry shakes. My afternoon sugar rush.

Of course, I smoked a small amount of pretty good pot.

According to the Yahoo Body Mass Index, I was morbidly Obese.


I'm now about 175 and down to a 32 inch waist. I get a lot more exercise from my land (several acres of hill) than from the gym.

I also started doing steep-terrain biathlon, which involves hauling stuff up about a mile up a hill, taking 1 to 3 shots (using a rifle, not whiskey shots ), and then walking down the hill. That is good exercise.

And, still smoking pot.

Haven't checked the Yahoo BMI web page recently

 

[junior_grower]

Depends on the strain.
I get the 7-11 raiding munchies and food coma, other times Im pumped for a good hike or ski ect.
Im carrying an extra 10lbs, but with a job that's so stressful I should be 30-40lbs.

I smoke 5-6 grams of shatter, and vape maybe an once for testing/ products before i move them on.

Id say it keeps me skinny cause without it id be a stress case and obese.

 

[BOMBAYCAT]

I totally get the munchies when I smoke. I have cut back a little on the portion size of food and that seems to keep off the pounds.

 

[LostTribe]

cotton mouth causes severe thirst and indicas make me want to eat endlessly so I think we all know MJ makes one a bit more on the heavy side at least that is my opinion.

 

[MJPassion]

I've been the same weight for the last 25 years... started smoking pot at 16. Smoked like a train for a couple years & have cut back over the last few.
Pot doesn't cause either weight gain or loss.
Eating or not will have a cause but smoking... naaaah.

 

[blastfrompast]

180lbs...6ft....same as i've been short of that stint where i got down to 138lbs due to being sick.

Doesn't suppress my appetite at all.....perhaps it is keeping my metabolism up?

 

[Vernalization]

I guess it depends. it's more of a regulator for me. helps me eat. sometimes I will be hungry but don't feel like eating.
