What about it makes you hungry?

I don't get it, what about pot gives you the munchies and why?

 

hmm never thought about that before..

 

In a nuttshell.. The neurotransmitters(sp?) in your brain that are effected by pot, including the one that tells you when your hungry, is effected. So your body cant really tell right away if its getting full or not.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

My appetite is actually surpressed when I am stoned, although food tastes better Then again I eat more than usualy when I am on high doses of opiates, and have eaten more than my share while on mushrooms too. THings which I have seen numerous people attempt only to throw up afterwards lol.

 

Being able to eat on shrooms... mate.. you deserve some kinda credentials for that.

 

I dont get hungry. I just find the texture of food so cool, so i eat. And when im blazed it seems like im never full, so i eat some more.

 

haha thanks man But to be honest, the days when I was eating on shrooms, was when I was eating shrooms on an average of every other day lol I used to not even dream about food when I would take opiates, but now when I take them I order like whole pizzas for myself and eat them, or like the other weekend I was on Morphine and I ordered 2 quarts of Broccoli and Garlic sauce from a chinese place, and ate the entirety of the two boxes, when normally I cant finish one. Plus both boxes of rice and a large Mountain Dew

 

Mountain Dew Code Red is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Relayer, as far as munchies are concerned you know how to live!

 

dew 4 life

 

That's usually how it is for me. I'll think of some food and it sounds so delicious at the time, but I'm not actually hungry for it, just wanting the taste and the great feeling of eating it...and then I can't stop till it's gone haha.

 

tacos have never been so delicous...

 

well I had the same thought.... I did some research.
whoever said the junk about the brain and stuff is right but its a little different than that.

the chemical he mentioned is stored in fat cells and that tells you your not hungry (after eating of course) and when you smoke marijuana it says youve done your job too fast and lets that chemical get released.

well then your hungry again....

thats what I understand at least.

 

Is there anything you could intake to counteract the effect it has on the part of the brain that makes you hungry while not sacrificing your buzz?

 

^ i doubt it. its just a part of it... ive noticed that i generally dont have the initiative to actually go and GET food, but if its nearby it is going to be gone soon . it tickles those hunger switches and makes you have the eternal appetite hehe

speaking of appetite, im going to the farmers market soon. mmmmm samosas
