Even the bible says that every seed on this earth, god put here for us to use.

You could be dehydrated. Dehydration mimics hunger. Read up on it.

That makes sense because inorder to burn calories you need to eat drink water . Raise your heart rate while working out so I say smoke .eat and go for a run. Get a uplifting strain and get to it.. all I can say is thank got for thw leafly website so now I know which weed does what... everyone should download that app. . Pick better strains ...and you will be able to tell the difference... thats why some people have wake and bakes and I mean it literally wakes you... try super silver haze weed. Or lemon haze and they should be at your local dispensaries. .

Im glad I'm not smoking anymore lol. Im around people everyday who smoke. Their addicted and dumb. It's expensive, they can't afford it and controls their lives. I smoked for about 4 months straight and I guess its like your dad putting you in closet with a cigar. I know it speeds you up long term and messes with your memory. I guess I was coming down but I make better decision s without it. Thank God I quit but for sure your not going to have as much fun but my fun is being sane and composed. I love being sober.

There is no scientific evidence on how marijuana affects your metabolism. Every person is different. We all have different receptors in our brains that react on so many different levels when we use any form of cannabis. You could very easily be experiencing more hunger pangs because you have "stretched" out your appetite. There is nothing to worry about. If you are worried about gaining weight, either switched to smoking sativas instead of indicas, or try snacking on healthier foods. Marijuana blocks "Leptin" in the brain, which is what signals our bodies that we are full. That is why when you have the munchies, most people can eat continuously beyond being full.

Weed is also considered to an antidepressant and the major cause of weight gain is depression. So it could have assisted you in this way.

For anyone that's not into medical terminology let me sum this up for you in plain English. Smoking marijuana causes your respirations to increase. The increase in how mug you breathe causes your metabolism to increase in order to keep up with the higher demands of your breathing pattern. This occurs usually after about 15 minutes after toking. So yes technically speaking smoking pot does inadvertently speed up your metabolism. If you're worried about weight gain during the munchy period, snack on healthy sweet snacks, i.e. Strawberries, watermelon, grapes (basically any type of fruit) Frosted mini wheats, chocolate milk, etc.
