My state has legalized it in small amounts. But my sister has a medical prescription for it for insomnia. She reports a stunning fact... she seems to have lost weight since she has been using it. 6 months... 20 lbs. She has not been trying. She was about 220. It also seems to be true with CBD oil which is legal everyplace.

To my shock if you google it.... it does seem to be true.

They say poor sleep and stress both contribute to weight gain. So maybe weed counteracts this because if does improve sleep and stress.

Cannabis has no calories.

I'm going to investigate medical cannabis when there are dispensaries near my area.

I don't drink. Apparently it can increase your metabolism and I am betting that it acts like an SSRI on your hunger system and makes you forget about eating - like anxiety and eating are related and many diet pills are SSRI type pills.

I don’t know about this. All I remember back in my weed days is the uncontrollable munchies that would make me eat anything I could when I was under the effects.

I was gonna say...pot might not have any calories, but staving off the munchies would certainly be an issue for some people.

Looking into it it seems the munchies only come on after large quantities are used. But I suppose it might depend on the strain and how you use it.

Smoking it will give you the munchies most of the time and you don't have to smoke large amounts. It would seem counter-productive to smoke it. Edibles is another story.

The munchies have pretty much been bred out of the new strains.

DH started using it for sleep and dropped weight too. There are some strains specifically for that, but I forget which ones.
