Good question ?
it blocks the brain receptors that let you know when your hungry.
but then why do u eat so much
if it blocks the receptors u wouldnt wanna eat right
because there is a thing called THC in weed that makes you think that your hungry even when you are not
your brain isnt getting a signal from the receptor at all, therefore the brain just assumes there is no food resulting in a trip to mcdonalds
ohhhhhhhh
ok
i guess
still confused
and i know about THC

Pot gives you the munchies because it speeds up your metabolism. Your digestive system is working faster, and thus, you digest all of the food that’s already in your system much faster than normal. Once it’s all used up, you’re hungry again. It’s that simple.
source plz.

Check the NORML website, the High Times website, or… really ANY stoner site, growing site, or scientific marijuana study site. It’s pretty common knowledge to those who know enough to research substances before they put them in their bodies.
But if it worked like that (speeding up the metabolism) then why would it work for chemo patients? Or anyone else that needs a apatite stimulant for that matter? If the reason you feel hungry is that you have an empty stomach, than how is that any different from normal hunger? If a chemo patient isn’t eating because they don’t have an apatite, then their stomach is already empty, so weed shouldn’t make them hungry, because they already have an empty stomach and aren’t eating anyway.

Because when you’re on chemo, your body still requires food, but you’re put off to it, and don’t want to eat it. When the metabolism is kick-started, you feel hungry again. Because you haven’t been eating lately, there’s already a void, and the ‘munchies’ amplify them.Easy way to put it… If you’ve eaten normally all day, and smoke pot, the munchies might make you eat a bag of chips or two. However, if you haven’t eaten all day, and you smoke, you’ll eat about nine bags of chips. Get it?
Yea, makes sense.
*** thiss smoke weed for lifeeeeeee
Clinical studies and survey data have found that cannabis increases food enjoyment and interest in food.[80][81] Scientists have claimed to be able to explain what causes the increase in appetite, concluding that “endocannabinoids in the hypothalamus activate cannabinoid receptors that are responsible for maintaining food intake”.
haha i think that means that a chemical in weed cause a gland in ur brain to tell u ur hungry
also the cannabinoids increase taste of foods
Are you high in this photo? For real…Like for real? You should change it….
nooo thats wrong about the alcohol peeing thing haha you always pee when you drink because alcohol goes straight through your system and right to your l iver like its a friggin sponge, and usually ppl KEEP drinking once they started so it all just hits the liver faster and goes through ur system after like an hour then you have to go to the bathroom and if you keeep drinking itll just repeat.
It is correct that alcohol is a diuretic.. It causes kidney tubules to close off so that water cannot be absorbed, thereby sending it out the system.. This is also the reason why you will get dehydrated when you drink, and one of the main factors for causing a hangover..
one time i ate 250 sour patch straws in about 10 mins
sparkles.. u look so much like me same hair colour and lip ring on the same side,
im creeped out but its cool. where u from ?

The saying is “Don’t jump into murky waters.” lol. Although your version IS good advice nonetheless.
These answers are painfully embarrassing and completely without merit. Smoking weed causes the body to become hyper-sensitive to insulin, amongst many other things. When insulin is secreted into the blood stream (as it usually is after one consumes food containing carbohydrates), blood sugar is lowered. When blood sugar is too low, your body thinks that this is because it isn’t consuming fuel (food) and compensates by telling you to eat (hunger). This reaction isn’t the same in every body, resulting in the fact that not everyone gets the munchies after they’ve smoked.
Everybody here is wrong. When you smoke pot it contains a canibal that raises your matabolisms
