when you get the munchies...

[AcidFreak]

...is it the weed tricking your mind into THINKING you're really hungry, when you're really not? or does it physically trigger something that makes you hungrier.

basically my question is this. if i were to get high, have the munchies, and NOT eat, would i burn more calories than if i were just hungry but didnt eat?

no im pretty sure it just stimulates the part of your brain that demands you to shovle handful after handful of food into your mouth.

I have heard that smoking marijuana does trigger your brain into thinking you are hungry, however that also makes your metabolism run faster, so you would lose weight. I have lost weight since I started smoking marijuana. I was fat when I was 12, now I am skinny. Coincidence?

I think the above post is probably right.

I've always wondered if there was a way around eating. LIke a way to use cannabis and not have to eat while still feeling not hungry.

Drinking water helps, but also it can depend on the strain, I have smoked weed that didn't make me hungry at all, but that only happens to me once every blue moon.
