Smoking Pot Can Actually Make You Thin

I was too high to read the article,man, but:

If the "munchies" were broccoli and such instead of HoHo's and Taco Bell,then it may assist a little bit. Every workedout...on weed? I couldn't imagine that stoned burpees would be any more pleasant than jumping faceplants.

Hiking or walking in the woods is seriously the best "workout" while being high. I don't think I would like going to the gym all spaced out though...

I can't...I just can't...I had a whole verbal spew written out and deleted it. Carry on with your "drugs are bad" but don't forget to pick up your prescription drugs on your way home, and a bottle of rye to wash it down with.

When I smoke I usually feel like exercising. Makes me want to stretch out and jump around. Even when I was out of shape, had the same effect. I don't do it a lot though. Once or twice a month.

Well it worked for Snoop Dog.

That is all the proof I need.

Just curious as to why pot is called a drug. I'm being serious, I have never done the chemical breakdown or anything so I am curious to know. Isn't it just a plant? Is there something else added that qualifies it as a drug? Heroin and meth are made up of a concoction of various chemicals, I understand that. Isn't pot just dried herbs?

I can almost guarantee a good percentage of the professionals you encounter daily, smoke weed. IF NOT MORE. Your children's teachers, your doctor, your pharmacist, your tax guy, your lawyer, your coworkers...etc.

Most of the world renowned surgeons and ER medicine MDs I know, smoke weed on the daily. They seem to function perfectly fine. Let's not even go into how much they make. :flowerforyou:

i love exercising after smoking. i don't smoke often either, maybe once a day.

ThatSoundsHard

Yeah.. I smoke for weightless.. That's it...


But for serious, anyone showing up equating pot to heroin and meth are just being outlandish. Come on now, people, comparing marijuana to opiates and/or amphetamines is like comparing apples to pickup trucks.


If you don't want to smoke pot then don't. But please don't assume everyone who does it exactly the same or fits into your stereotypes.

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.

Complete and utter nonsense.

Total nonsense indeed. I smoke daily. I have a job and have been with the same company for 6.5 years including 2 promotions that equaled a total increase in pay of $20k/year. I buy groceries weekly and am definitely not skinny. Have never been arrested and haven't even gotten a speeding ticket in 15 years.

yup, deadbeat over here with a ms in counseling and a fulltime job and own apartment.
oh, wait...

where do you get your information from? way to come off as an ignorant fool.

Out of curiosity....

Any idea if they could just extract the thc (and whatever else contributes to the desired effect) and make pills?

Seems to me we could deliver the medical benefits in a more controlled and healthier manner than smoking.

Colorado has the most active residents, some of the lowest obesity numbers, and I'd say a solid 80% of us smoke weed regularly..... burnouts will be burnouts regardless of the substances they use ... everyone knows a drunk who is just as lame as the local lazy stoner...


Most of the people I know that are regular pot smokers are active, outdoorsy, fit and beautiful. Also, really awesome people to hang around with.

Smoking pot made me lose weight...











When I laced it with meth! :noway:

Big Pharma is working on it. Why grow something for free when big pharma is ready to sell you the pills. If aspirin grew on trees it would be illegal.

Now if only the stuff didn't make you stoned.

They do. It's called Marinol.

I know quite a few people that smoke weed, one that actually competes and she is gorgeous! I really think there is nothing wrong with smoking it.

Yes, it's already been done and it's on the market. DOCTORS prescribe it for patients including people going through cancer treatment.

They have synthetic THC already (nabilone or something like that).

But anyone can make there own THC pills - extract the THC from the weed into some cooking oil (coconut for example - tons of info on Google about this). Then pack some gel caps with THC infused oil.

Not sure how youd figure out dose though

I wonder then why that isn't the standard route for treating medical conditions. Surely medical marijuana would be a non-issue if it were dispensed by a pharmacy alongside pain killers and other controlled substances.

I can't...I just can't...I had a whole verbal spew written out and deleted it. Carry on with your "drugs are bad" but don't forget to pick up your prescription drugs on your way home, and a bottle of rye to wash it down with.

^^^ This! Except you forgot the cigarettes to go with your pills and booze! :flowerforyou:

thankyou for saying this pot should never be compared to any thing else it grows its affects are not remotely even close to that manmade manufactured dangerous chemical crap! :bigsmile:

Also prescribed to AIDS patients. Have a friend that's been living with AIDS for 30 years and those pills and smoking are the only pain relief he has been able to find that work for him.

They make the vaporizer pens now. They're kind of like the electronic cigarettes. You buy thc drops to put into them. No smoke, no odor.

Not to mention that our 4 major cities are all in the top ten fittest cities in the country.

Miss K, I'm just going to go ahead and let myself believe you were talking about me. *bats eyes*
