medical marijuana for weight loss

Yea, pretty sure that's bogus

I've got a cousin with a card for "headaches." Turns out, he's actually just a pothead. :smokin:

Yes, therefore the whole idiocy of "Medical Marijuana". A pothead is a pothead and marinol is the component of pot that is an appetite stimulant so weight loss is only possible if you smoke so much you forget where the fridge is....

DONT GIVE IN TO MUNCHIES!! haha~ marijuana itself is not known to cause weight gain. Everyone has different reactions, but munchies are typical for most strains of weed.
Random note- vote to legalize medical marijuana in your state!<3 Get involved in the political process! It's a crime that the government denies its citizens access to a life-saving plant.

Just FWI medical marijuana is NOTHING like street marijuana.

^^This, I uhm, yah, tried some not to long ago. Nothing like what I remembered from years ago when a package of Oreos was a gift from the gods.

No absolutly not ! It not only makes you munch but also causes you to be less active.That is not true !:smokin:

Hi there.

i smoke weed daily. (only at night)
last year and the previous years i was smoking every chance i got. morning, night, lunch break etc.
i hardly ate. i use to munch out all the time, but towards the end i never ate.
i lost 20 kgs in 4 months smoking (i was also on riddilan for adhd) i use to be quite over weight, then i got too skinny.

i went on holidays for 8 days in December last year, i was at a good weight. i stopped for a about a month. then picked it up peice by peice now i smoke only joints at night (about 3 a night) i use to smoke bongs not joints.

i never cared about weight gain because it never happened so i ate really really badly.
earlier this year when i started smoking again the munchies were intence. and all my life ive been a cafe worker now im a travel agent and have an office job so dont move around much. i noticed i was getting a bit bigger and wasnt impressed.

now i usually exceed my calories everyday. but i munch on health food, and excersise in the mornings.

i dont know if ive lost weight, but certainly havent gained any.

alot of overweight people i no have lost a crap load of weight on the stuff, but i think its more once you have smoked for a while you stop eating as much (especially when your not high) and once your high you get hungry but no where near as intense.

i lost weight while i was away. but thats because i couldnt eat much.. as the weeks went by i started eating normally again.

now i am eating like everyone else, but when i smoke at night the munhies are intense hahaha.

hope this helps!

I'm game to participate in a focus group to pilot the theory

When i smoke.. i get really really lazy and I eat lots of dry lucky charms and star crunch. I don't see how one could possibly lose weight using marijuana. The end.

Doubt it, heh, based on past experience I wouldn't chance it

On some people marijuana has the opposite effect of sitting on the couch and eating a bag of Doritos while drooling on themselves, I don't do it now but when I was very young it actually made me hyperactive. I asked one of my college professors about this and she said that in some people usually ones with ADD it does that. I don't have ADD (that I know of) I think it would depend on the person and their bodies reaction to it.
