    No, it doesn't speed up your metabolism enough to matter.

    That's all I'll say about that.

    This thread makes me curious about the MJ smokers...if all you could get was cannabis oil would you still want it or are you smoking it for the high? This is a serious question, not being sarcastic.

    *facepalm* Yes, let's just skip the weighing and logging food and go straight to the illegal, dangerous drugs, shall we?

    Come on...

    Legal in some way in 25 states. Most adult marijuana users aren't changing to bigger/harder drugs. That's for younger people. I made over six figures while smoking, lose weight smoking, don't cough but once in a blue moon. I also work out everyday and live a productive life. Never wanted anything harder/stronger not necessary.
    I personally don't know anyone that smokes that isn't highly functional, and I'm talking about executives at major corporations as well as everyday people.
    People smoke. And they work and have regular lives. I can't drink. If I want to come home at the end of the day and relax and can't have a glass of alcohol taking a couple of hits shouldn't be a big deal.

    OP, sorry your thread got hijacked. I don't think your metabolism speeds up, but if you go to bed to keep yourself under calories instead of a munchies binge, it's a good thing to do.

    I wouldn't say it helps speed up your metabolism but you can certainly lose weight while smoking marijuana if you can control your eating.

    Do you drink alcohol to get drunk or for the taste?

    P.S. I am not a smoker (of anything). I have an anxiety disorder and live a completely straight edge life because almost everything (even caffeine) exacerbates my anxiety. I dont drink, smoke, drink too much caffiene, etc.

    And yet, my mother who has RA has been able to completely stop the really effed up medications (which suppress the immune system, pain medications which made her almost non-functioning) and has been able to start living a healthy and active lifestyle. She lives in a state where it is legal for recreational use.

    In my opinion, for this reason, regardless of whether people use it to feel good (just like people use alcohol, cigarettes, prescription drugs, etc.) it should be legal.

    really??? I've never heard of pot helping to lost wieght- reduce pain, inflammation and help with glaucoma yes, weight loss, no.

    Is this personal experience or lab tested? Does it have to be specific strand (many medical mari places have different strands depending on what you need it for)?

    my husband works over 10 hrs a day, if He want to come home and smoke I could care less, he takes care of me and our kids, I would rather have him smoke then drink. My nephew has chrome disease and he smoke cause the pills he would have to take cause cancer.
