marijuana addiction and weight loss

Do you smoke cigarettes? Cigarettes speed up your metabolism. If you started smoking cigs and weed at same time it could be that.

That is a good point but i really do think that it does cause appetite depression. Once I realized this i started eating more often and less at a time just to keep it going steady. I hate having the feeling of wanting to eat, but the thought of food makes me want to puke... or smoke then eat it :P

so far just after 2 days of eating more-normal i already feel better and improved energy.
 
I definitely lose weight when I smoke daily. I get hungry when I'm high, but usually only have a bowl of cereal or something small to satisfy my hunger. My appetite is way, way lessened after, say, a week of constant smoking. Eventually, I get tired and lethargic, and I remember "Oh yeah, hey dude, you haven't eaten in a while. FOOD!" and I'll munch a bit. Overall, I eat less and move more when I smoke, causing me to lose weight. I'm 5'10"-11", something like that, and weigh around 120, 125. But hey, I have a 6 pak now. Sweeeeet!
 
When I went from smoking daily to smoking on weekends only I gained 15 kilos, so I would say that smoking every day can attribute to weight loss. I had a hard time eating after quitting though, but that only lasted for a few days. :)

Damn reply button. didn't.. deserve that life anyways. seriously Davis (if that is your real name), go fight for something that matters.
 
same here. lost a bunch of weight. but its not like it was good weight. i mean i still eat great and whatever i want. i dont think it has to do with appetite. its just the effect on our body
 
I have to admit, I've been smoking for 4 weeks straight and I can notice my appite is next to none, and i'm gettin skinny as, although I do push bike everywhere which would probs help lol
 
been smoking pretty much daily for the past 5 or 6 years. My weights steadily gone down since I started smoking heavily. I take alot of other drugs too though ;p
 
HAHAHAHA. I wish this were true for me.

I've been smoking for 7 years and I'm still chubby. I weigh a little less now than I did before... because I started watching what I ate.

:p I should be a fucking supermodel by now, if this was completely true.

it is completely true. your body type just doesnt allow it as much as others.
 
I've always been skinny, and for the past 3 years, addicted to Cannabis (I guess). Weight is impossible to put on, but when I take a month break it's usually fairly easy, so ya, I guess weed may affect weight gain, raising metabolism and making it harder to gain. I also find I don't get munchies anymore, and generally won't feel hungry at all if I'm high.
 
I can attest to that theory. Im like 6'4 and while smokin heavily i dropped down to around 145 which i can tell you isnt pretty. Im up to 160ish now but i still smoke daily. The mom unit thinks im on crack cuz she found my glass blunt awhile back, man was that a fiasco.

aw man that would be harsh!
 
Long term use of marijuana can lead to drug addiction which in turn affects the social life of the user. Symptoms of withdrawal include craving for the drug, sleeplessness and decreased appetite. This only reinforces the need to abuse the drug once again. If you need help with marijuana addiction, I would suggest you visit http://www.substanceabuse.com/drug-abuse-treatment.php. They offer resources for outpatient drug abuse treatment as well as support groups that will help you stay off the drug.
 
I find after regularely smoking weed I have a lower apetite, untill after a week of not smoking I get a mad apetite and just wanna eat.

I've also heard that it speeds up your metabolism, so...
