Recently i have upped the quantity i smoke each night. i went going from like 4 cones a night to like 16 a night :\ in the space of two days and have continued this for around a month now. I have just, in the last two days cut back to 4 a night. Some pretty devastating events i have happened I THINK as a result of this, and wonder if anyone else has had the same?8)

Over the past month have had some effects on my appetite. For three weeks or so I would eat roughly one meal a day or less. I just wouldnt get hungry, and never felt weak without eating until the evening. (i work everyday 8 - 5) <1000 calorie days were very common. 8o Over the past week I've started feeling a little hungrier and thus eating more, but I can tell this has had some significant effects on my body. (I think my stomach has shrunk, for one, because I can only eat half the meal size I used to eat regularly, even if I feel as hungry as I used to.)

I'm cold all the time now, even when I'm wearing layers:( . Historically I would sleep very comfortably in just a pair of boxers or pajama pants--anything more would almost always lead to me waking up with the shirt I was wearing soaked with sweat. Nowadays, I've been wearing sweatpants and t-shirts to bed. It seems to take me a long time to warm up under the comforter. Do the effects on my metabolism from eating so little affect my body's production of heat or would it be more linked to something to do with the BUD:X ??

For what it's worth, I'm 5'10",female, and 59kgs (18 months ago i was 79kg - lost alot of weight coz everyday i couldnt stop throwing up mucus crap :p which wouldnt make me hungry, hence losting weight)...

Anyone else has had the same or similar issues:\ ??
 
How old are you? I'm 5'8'' and I'm not sure my weight in kgs, but it sounds as though I've had the same experience as you. I figure age is a great deal of importance because you could just be going through normal bodily functions - ex: Around 19/20 your body stars to slim out and proportion itself. You get taller and in most cases slimmer.

I'm not sure as to why you're cold. I know I am all the time, but that's cause I'm a cigarette smoker as well, so I've just gotten used to that. I wear sweaters and sweatpants alllll the time, everywhere now. I'm freezing. Constantly.

As for weight loss of that extremity, again, age could be an issue. I've found the same thing happening to me though, if that's any consideration. I only eat maybe one meal a day, or just pick here and there and I'm only hungry every once and a while when I get the munchies haaaard. It could also do with your work schedule; mentally, you just don't eat. It's not that bad. Just don't let it get too far.

I've just realized I haven't helped you that much, but just to share I'm somewhat in the same situation if it's any consideration whatsosever.
 
wierd i get this shit too...like right now my hands are sooo fucking cold!!

i just ate a HUGE lunch, and it was like 1/4th what i used to be able to stomach...stoned or not.

and i can only really eat one meal a day.

when i was also using oxy, at some points i was only getting 3-4k calories a WEEK.


and im a 20 year old male 5'8" 145lbs(used to way a solid 160lbs...i lost 15lbs over about 7 months) so approx 66kg now.


also to add some helpful information, ive noticed BREAKFAST to be a crucial element here.....without a breakfast/morning routine, i have little to no appetite the entire day...its like my stomach craves food more once ive actually had something in it earlier that day.

btw, i do NOT think its from pot, i think its from a poor nutrition/lack of certain vitamins/minerals...put it this way, when i am able to eat normal, i dont experience this shit as much.
 
I find that after I've been high for a long period of time (2wks to a month of constant smoking) and suddenly stop, I can't regulate my body temperature at all, I'm either FREEZING or sweating. At times it switches from one extreme to another at the snap of a finger. Seems to go away after 3-5 days.
 
im glad pot doesnt screw me over like ya'll lol
ever since i started smokin my appetite went sky-high,and the only times i've been cold is in the winter :p
 
The reason why you're cold all the time is because of your lack of food.It doesn't really have much to do with the weed. When your body isn't getting enough food your internal temperature drops and makes it harder for you to get warm.

Try eating many small meals throughout the day and you'll eventually be able to stomach more.
 
^^ Yeah but that doesnt make sense. Where does all the fat from the junkfood go to?

My theory it has to do with a faster metabolism + everytime I had a boefkick I would shit it right back out the next day, undigested.
 
lmaooo i wish that i had this problem....ever since i started smoking more, my appetite has expanded to twice what it used to be lol

Yeah, she's probably cold because she lost a shit load of weight. But, weed does lower body temperature a bit.
 
An average of 0.2°centigrade, if I remember correct?
I definitely had times were I felt like I was freezing my ass off while the weather hadn't changed a bit. The few times I had a bad experience with weed(low tolerance and/or alcohol involved) I was sitting inside in a room of at least roomtemperature with my jacket on, my body shaking from being cold.

Also when I smoke daily, I can get sweaty if I skipo a day. Especially when riding the bike, or doing daily tasks.
 
Something like that. Inititally, with onset of the effects, your body temperature raises a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it lowers again..
 
Cheers guys. i appreciate all your input.

Yeah like people have said that the cold will be a result of weight loss and the loss of fat due to that.

But yeah as in some other posts, seems this losing weight with bud and like being cold constantly isnt new... i think the two are interrelated though i dont think its one or the other; thinks its a mixture.

Very very true, people would think that weed makes you fat because of all the food you eat after you smoke. But what they dont factor in is all the food you dont eat when you dont smoke.
 
I get cold constantly just like you...the house will be the same temp as always yet ill be under the conforter all night with it pressed tight against my skin and still not able to get warm. It usually onyl happens after i smoke alot of pot then stop for a day or few hours even. It usually lasts a few days.
