Smoking Pot Can Actually Make You Thin

juliemouse83

On the plus side, the cotton mouth would absolutely help with water consumption...If you thought to drink that instead of Coke, which used to be my go to beverage for everything, LOL...

Back in the day I could knock back some homemade mac n cheese...I should have been HUGE... :smokin:

One of my friends used to smoke it daily and was really slim - she only really had an appetite when smoking though. I don't disagree with green and do think it gets huge amounts of bad press that it doesnt deserve. I think it should be legalised personally. Alcohol and tobacco are more damaging I think...but thats just my humble opinion...now pass the duchy!!! lol

drugs are bad, mmmmmkay.

Hahahaha!!! Mr Hat agrees!!! lol

Just my random morning thoughts:

1. Smoking pot = loss of motivation = no or dead end job = no money = can't afford groceries = skinny

2. Smoking pot = jail time = 1200 calories of white bread baloney sandwiches (which are taken away by stronger inmates) = skinny.

Sounds like a good weight loss strategy (not).

Seriously, just say no.

I was never a big fan of it, but I know a lot of people who do it and have good jobs, and are highly functional (no different than those who over-indulge on alcohol on the weekends).

Additionally, I honestly haven't ever heard of anyone actually doing jail time for smoking pot (maybe for selling it, or people who failed a probation drug test or something like that, but the average person who is caught with a small amount of weed isn't likely to spend time in prison).

I can definitely see the first one happening but at least when I was locked up our meals were based off a 3200 calories/day diet.

Yeah, and that's just the food that was given to you for free. I would also order tons of donuts, candy, mac n cheese, ramen, hot chocolate, etc.I got up to my highest weight in jail.

Munchies = not making me thin

I feel like I need to start this reply with a disclaimer: As a law abiding citizen in a state where marijuana is illegal, I affirm that I do not... lol.

OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way, I have long noticed that daily weed smokers tend to be thin. As with anything, there are exceptions, but even the larger ones tend to be leaner (meaning less body fat and jiggly parts) than the average person of a similar size. I have not noticed any pattern with occasional/social smokers except they get the munchies whereas daily smokers typically do not.

I'd never really considered any supporting evidence, but I suppose you could look at it like smoking cigarettes. It is widely known that people who quit smoking on average gain 5 to 10 lbs within the first couple of months because nicotine is an appetite suppressant, smoking burns about 200 calories a day, and smoking slightly boosts metabolism. I can't think of any valid reason why smoking marijuana could not have a similar effect.

Methamphetamines are fantastic for weight loss!

*Side effects include bad skin, icky teeth, poor hygeine, loss of social skills, unemployment, insanity, incarceration, and a possible appearance on Cops.*

Daily smokers get the munchies, it also makes them super tired, in most cases. I do not smoke but many people very close to me do so I see it first hand.

Coke on the other hand, now these's a weight loss drug :P

Marijuana affects people differently. I personally don't smoke it because I fall more in line with the first example but to say that marijuana ends in with unemployment or jail is a bit simplistic.

It does affect people differently. Lets be clear, i have not done it for years now. But i achieved a lot while i was smoking. I worked all the time, sometimes 2 jobs and at the same time achieved a Bsc Honours degree from one of the best universities in the country. I used it quite heavily but i got where i wanted to be. Its about the person. I wouldn't say it was great for my mood but generalising about everyone who uses it is simply unfair and short sighted.

I do agree that for many people, using pot is not a good choice.

I was pretty slim when i smoked, but then i was also younger than i am now.

With very few exceptions, almost never ever ever, will a person land in jail from simple possession/ use. Source- I work in criminal defense.

The vast majority of pot smokers are college kids wi too much time on their hands, FWIW. Makes me hungry though, I'd def gain.

Being a computer nerd can be terrible for weight loss.

*Side effects include bad skin, icky teeth, poor hygiene, lack of social skills (can't lose what you never had)....
