Munchies is Overrated? what u guys think

Hey man I've been smoking for a long time too (probably around 3 years) and weed tends to make me less hungry these days (probably cuz I smoked weed too much and lost the magic a bit) but I remember it used to be different.

I remember way back in the beginning when I first started smoking the munchies were an effect that I would get profoundly. Not only was I hungrier, but I must say that my appreciation of taste was super enhanced too!! I miss those days...
 
I get munchies but can control them pretty well, that being said I like to eat alot anyway
 
I consider my self to be an experienced connoisseur, and I find that when smoking for years stright the "munchie" effect is greatly decreased (if even there anymore) and then when sober for months and smoking, its deffinately "there" again. I usually (when all day everyday smoking) dont get the munchies at all, and if anything mabe have slight loss in appetite.
 
I used to get the munchies fierce. But I've been smoking for about 25 years and when you get kinda old, you can't just be randomly throwing calories into your body. So I decided to change my habits and never eat after I smoked. It was hard at first because I was accustomed to having a good nosh after I smoked but after a few weeks of not letting myself eat when high, I totally forgot about eating on weed.

It was a lot easier than thought it would be. I just reconditioned my mind.

That's not to say that I think it's bad to eat on weed. It can be really enjoyable for regular smokers and, from a health standpoint… I have a few friends who really need their weed to keep weight on because they're HIV positive. Every time I read comments in the media that are anti-medical marijuana, I just think about my one friend who was 6', 120lbs before med marijuana and who is now 170lbs and super heathy. The anti-medical crowd makes me livid with anger. So, what, it would have been good for my friend to slowly waste away from malnutrition?
 
I disagree completely, I do think cannabis increases the delishiocness (sp) of many foods. For example I once bought a hemp iced tea energy drink product whilst stoned and proclaimed it to be the best drink ever. So the next morning I bought one and took it to school to consume in class. I opened it ready to experience the "best drink in the world" yet again, took one sip, spit it out, threw away the drink and never touched that nasty shit again.
 
I do tend to enjoy eating when I'm stoned, but the "munchies" are completely unnecessary. What I consider the "munchies" is when you just eat ridiculous amounts of food, just because your stomach seems capable of holding more under the influence of cannabis. In the long run, it just makes you feel like shit (at least in my experience). I would say that, yes, munchies are overrated.
 
Weed eventually kills the appetite overall after long term abuse. That's why most heavy stoners are really skinny.
 
From my experience different mj gives you different munchies effect.....

I've smoked strains were I had to stop smoking cause I would eat so much that my stomach felt like it was going to pop.
 
^Yeah lol some strains make me rediculously hungry, while others get me higher but the munchies effect isn't as strong. Wonder why that is?
 
From time to time when I get high, I get the munchies. Id say that its over rated to the non-experienced smoker..just because of all they hype about munchies.
 
um well after about 4 years of everyday smoking ,munchies went away. it doesnt make me NOT hungry, but no crazy munchfest on everything in the house...lol i guess that the longer you smoke the less you feell the munchies

It's interesting to hear ya'll say this.

I've been smoking daily for 7 or 8 years now, and weed still has a HUGE affect on my appetite. I always eat "normally" until I've smoked weed for the first time of the day, and from there on out, I eat just about anything I can get my hands on until it's time to go to bed.

I have a really high metabolism and caloric intake to begin with, but pot has had a consistent affect on my appetite since I started smoking.
 
im bout 160 pounds and 6 foot tall. i smoke everyday all day. i do notice thats a good thing. i look great weed doesnt give me munchies at all, maybe every once in a blue moon but it doesn't effect that kind of food craving it never has
 
i dont eat much when i get high
im way to lazy to go get something from the store( everything in my house you have to make i keep no snacks)
about the only time i do eat something is if i have left over food in fridge (rare as i make what my roomie and i will eat as not to waste any) or if a friend is comin over ill call or text and have them get something for me and pay them back on the way
 
i love the taste of food when im high. you guys are crazy o.O
the only bad thing about munchies is you gain weight so fast.
