Marijuana suppresses my appetite???

Hi, I'm fairly new to smoking and I always have heard the smoking makes you more hungry(or at least enjoy food more); but when I started smoking, I've noticed that it has decreased my appetite. Was just wondering if anyone else there is like that too??? I have yet to talk to someone who says it makes them eat less or have less of an appetite. I know it affects everyone different, but almost everyone agrees to having the munchies or feeling hungry more.

 

Actually MoodyLink, I've found that the opposite is true, more often than not. Nice avatar

 

Sexyville eh?:drool:

Well, I realize the opposite is true for most people; just wondering if anyone else feels less of an appetite that's all.

 

Munchies actually don't seem to have much to do with appetite. It's more like u just have the urge to eat...to have something flavorful in your mouth...not necessarily hunger.
Your lucky...a lot of stoners get chubby because of the munchies lol.

 

Yeah it actually decreases my appetite most of the time too, you're not alone! I get the munchies sometimes though.
It is a good thing believe me, you won't get a big belly hehe

 

I have the exact opposite effect, I only have an appetite when stoned. If I don't smoke I can go without eating an not even think about it.

This could be from smoking daily.

 

^word.

I can't even eat breakfast without a wake-n-bake

 

The only time pot reduces my appetite, is when i get distracted by something (video games, movie) that keeps me from eating. Otherwise i get hungry as hell.

Many people observe that it's not so much that weed makes you hungry, but that the sensation of eating is so much more pleasurable when high.

 

Check back with us in a year. It'll change.

 

Well, I smoke pot daily now and realize now I can go the whole day without eating; whereas prior to smoking I coudn't go a few hours after waking before my stomach gnawed at me to eat. I've come to realize that, after years of having a lot of stomach problems and doctors never determined, marijuana helps a lot with my stomach problems to the point where I don't feel much hunger. Perhaps I'm feeling numbness, mixed with hightened forgetfulness, to where I forget to eat.
BUT I really enjoy food when high, don't get me wrong. When I DO eat, I love it! ;D

 

im another one of those only eat when im stoned people. I guess i just smoke so much weed that i really just dont eat when im not stoned, yesterday i ran out of weed, and oddly enough at the same time my school turned off my meal plan because they havent gotten the check fro my tuition from my scholarship fund yet, needless to say i havent smoked and i havent eaten, and i dont feel hungry at all, goin on close to 36 hours now without food or weed

 

Here's a scientific explanation of the phenomenon we call, 'The Munchies':

Mama, that was a good read

 

keep smoking and you'll probably get the munchies sooner or later but that's good that you don't get the munchies...i eat alot sometimes when having a munchie attack. too much sometimes :X

 

it normally increases my appetite.. but i don't have a big one regularly. i smoke sometimes to find my appetite when it's lots.

 

i think munchies are good, because what I do is when I smoke, if I'm by myself, I'll grab a bag of lettuce or carrots or something healthy, and set it on my table before smoking. while i'm high, anything tastes good, so i happily eat away healthily. i also never get full, so my stomach feels like an endless pit. but lol my parents are probably suspicious that i got through a whole bag of pure lettuce in one night. but anyway yea you can take advantage of the munchies like I do, if you ever get them.
