Well, the pot has to settle, somewhere, to stay in your body. I, guess, maybe the cannabinoid receptors get inflated and we have an extra layer of THC on our skin.

Smoke instead of eat and you'll lose weight.

to me I eat a shitload when I get high but most of the time when I'm not high i wont feel like eating or i get full 100x as fast as I do when I'm high

i've heard that smoking speeds your metabolism temporarily. so if you ate the same while stoned as you would while sober, theoretically you would lose weight. but you have to consider that pot gives people the munchies.

Personally, I think food tastes a lot better after a smoke. I mean, I hate Andy Capp's hot fries, but for some reason, after a smoke, it's like they're the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. And grilled cheese... I'm not sure that I lose weight, but I'll bet it's like tobacco smoking. If you're hands and mouth are busy smoking, then you're not stuffing your face at that moment. If you can beat the munchies, then maybe... Usually huge weight lose is associated with damaging drugs like meth and cocaine (I have yet to be damaged by mj )

Fine except for the munchies.

ok well then it wont help me. sometimes i smoke up because of the munchies. and alot of the time, if im eating something tasty i think "man this would taste fucking great if i were stoned".

I am a slave to my munchies :/. i eat till i get sick.

It sucks. I work out all the time, but when it comes to munchies, I eat totally unhealthy, I like salty and sweet things when I'm smacked. When I'm sober, I eat like a vegan.

The trick is to try to eat healthy when you are smacked. Smoking bud speeds up your metabolism rate, especially if you toke a lot.
