Cannabis use and weight loss

[IntrepidS]

well I know that smoking weed burns fat, as it makes your body work faster, i.e. blood flow faster, stomach digests faster, etc...

but I'm wondering to what degree does cannabis burn fat? Is it even a significant amount? And let's not forget the munchies, do they overpower the fat-burning process of the weed?

???? I'm almost positive that you are wrong. Smoking makes you increase the calories going in, munchies, and actually decreases the metabolism, you burn them off at a slower rate. I think I read it in this book.

Well many people told me that weed burns fat. It makes your body work faster.

lol, well as I said, you are probably wrong, but I'm not at home right now so I can't quote the book. But it is considered a depressant, and depressants slow down the metabolism, so....

from what i have heard smoking bud slows down most processes in the body. maybe the people you were talking to were talking about smoking as in like cigs. nicotine will increase your metabolism and stuff.

Let us not forget the ever present munchies that are so hard to tame.

The thing is that I can't control the munchies. I eat a ton when I smoke and as a dieting person I hate it.

no one can control the munchies dude, thats part of smoking. I mean, you eat an AMAZING amount of food when your stoned, and it's real fuckin hard to stop once you start. The best advice I can give is just fill up a cup with ice and start chompin.

Umm, after overstuffing myself a few times to the point of feeling sick, I think I've broke the munchies barrier. I get hungry enough to eat like a few little debbies (3 to 4 of the individual snack packs) and am good to enjoy the effect without eating for the rest of the buzz, now as far as liquid munchies (mt dew, pepsi, etc....) that is something I can't resist, though I find that I really like the Nesse Tea Cooler's with the peach flavoring alot when stoned.
