maybe the problem is in the smoking, which make you lose control?

LOL Me too! I bookmarked it.
OP...All I got is the most obvious...quit smoking.0 -
I don't know. Don't have a high volume of calorie dense snacks in the house? Load up on fruits/veg, have things portioned out, and try to snack on that instead? That's hard.0

smoke up before meal time and eat a normal meal... probably more satisfying than eating random junk food.
"ever worked out... on weed??"0 -
Can you replace peanut butter cups with celery and peanut butter, and have it pre-portioned? Sorry. That's all I got.0

That's like a post saying you get drunk then eat 2 pizzas and make a fort out of the boxes.
The food isn't the issue its the loss of control from self inflicted drug use.
Or maybe plan a head and have healthy snacks layed out on a plate.
I recommend carrot and celery sticks, soak then in water and different food colouring so when your high you think your eating music or colours. Job done.-2 -

Lol, me too. I have never occupied the space on the venn diagram where "smoker" and "dieter" overlap.
Maybe 38 goldfish crackers (#72 on this list of snacks under 100 cals)

They have to be EXACTLY 38, though, have to count them right

Interestingly, population studies have shown marijuana users tend to have lower weight than non-users.0

If you eat before you smoke you won't have the munchies as bad, and when you do have the munchies choose healthy snacks like fruits and veggies and of course counter act some of it with working out at least a little everyday0

I don't think it works that way. Nothing gets in the way of the munchies.0 -
All in your head. Maybe I've been smoking too long I no longer get the munchies0

I heard, from... a friend... that vaping caused less of the munchies than using a bong. But that is just one person's experience. Another idea is to buy really healthy snacks so that when you do get the irresistible urge to eat, it's going to be carrots you're raiding the fridge for. (Also, if possible, go out and do something interesting when high, it'll take your mind off your hunger.)

or, just thinking out loud, hypothetically, maybe a small chicken shawarma, w just a little garlic sauce and tahini might be suitable for some other person who did that0

Since it's population studies and not controlled experiments, it could be a correlation (rather than causation.) Depending on what they control for in the analysis, it could be that pot users are more likely to be young, active, outdoorsy, affluent, etc. any and all of which would make them weigh less, on average, than the average of the broader population.

That is interesting. Also, I always thought "the munchies" was psychological.0
