Smoking weed can speed up your metabolism?

We have endogenous cannabinoid receptors in our brains which are related to hunger and appetite. When we smoke marijuana, the THC we put into our system binds with CB1 receptors in our brain, causing us to feel hunger and an increased appetite.

To the people who say that it speeds up your metabolism, and you lose weight because you smoke and then eat a salad or something healthy, well duh it's because you ate a salad and didn't do a midnight run to steak and shake lol.

"it doesnt make you stupider"- come the **** on i understand that your peabrain can use big words and you actually may know the definition to them as well. but saying something like that proves that in some ways of the world your a ****in dumb*** seriously. go smoke another hit in your $600 volcano vaporizer. Also look up the word arnt I am 100% sure you wont find that in the dictionary i think the word you may of been thinking of is aren't. take care

I cant believe there are so many stupid people, how can you really diss weed. It hasn't harmed anyone even till this day, get your facts straight. I'm currently 17 smoking for a good 4 years now going steady at an average of 3-4 times a week. I'm 5'11, 190 pounds, captain of my schools wrestling team, and could outrun half of you fat f*** who say weed is bad for you. It dosn't make you stupider, and im living proof of that with an 83% avg in all my courses and already accepted into U O T for my undergraduate BSc. The only reason weed isn't legal is not because its not safe but because it would be to hard for the government to monopolize it and make a profit, seeing as how it can be home grown. And for all the pot smokers out there don't touch touch those death sticks (cigarettes) just get better weed, and if you wanna stay healthy like me dont blaze with papes, use a pipe which is 70% cleaner or a Bong which filters out all the carcinogens and gives you nothin but sweet THC 90%cleaner. Or if your a rich mo f****r go buy a 600 dollar volcano vaporizer, 99.999999% cleaner, its not smoke its vapor so your doin no harm and your gettin higher than ever cause your gettin 99% of the thc. Arnt I smart or wat

let me clear some stuff up for you...

a bong does not filter out all the carcinogens. its no where near 90%.

you are completely wrong about the government legalizing weed. not everyone would just "grow it themselves". that takes alot of hard work and care and time to get a small amount of weed. it would be MUCH easier to go to a store and buy a cheep, taxed amount of weed. but the government wouldn't be making its profit off weed if it were to be legalized. it would be the hemp that would become the next largest cash crop in America due to its extremely versatile properties. it has over 5,000 uses; including paper, rope, fuel etc.

its also not legal because the politicians who were activist against weed in the past dont want to turn around and say they were lieing or they didnt have the knowledge. either way they arnt getting promoted to the spot they wanted.


sorry OP, i don't have an answer for you.

Hey, all due respect, but ur a f*****g id**t, they dont legalize pot cuz that would hurt thier profits from tobacco which is the biggest cash crop, and also it is harder to monopolize, cuz if its legal u can go out and buy seeds, and maybe not everyone would grow, but there would be alot of people, which would cut out the us from the picture, so itd be cheaper for us, and they still would make no profit.

I smoked weed the whole summer and when I got back to school this semester evryone noticed my weight loss. I didn't eat like I should have though while I was smoking all summer; I did more smoking than eating. But I had a friend who put me on to this method of weight loss, not only did I smoke but I did do tons of walking in the heat...so I knew that would do it!

look man.! aint nothin wrong with smokin some weed..u should smoke some ya self to loosen yo tight ass up. no disrespect but try it before u dis it..

You are pretty smart alright. Same here I have a 4.0 average, go to the gym four days a week, have a great relationship with my boyfriend of three years and I really cannot complain about my life. I have been smoking for five years, almost everyday at night to unwind. There is a lot of myths out there about weed but that is all they are. In reality, it is scientifically proven that alcohol is a lot more harmful than weed is. The thing is you cannot get free alcohol that easily, it needs a process because is not like you can grow a bottle of vodka in your backyard so you have to pay to get it. That is why weed it is illegal, the government couldn't posibly tax people growing and selling weed in their houses.

i have smoked weed for 15 years it is bad for you smoking has stopped me doing enything at all give up now before you get a brain tummer it even killed bob marley

i thought bob marley died from malignant melanoma? a serious type of cancer in his toe,I think it says he was playing soccer an got injured,he could have had an amputation but he refused do to his way of life "Rastafari" which says its sinful to cut flesh, shave your head,or corners of your beard, so ya i dont think it was a tumor in his brain from weed,im not smart i just looked it up, I smoke weed because when i do I wonder things,and then I just look it up or read about it. smoke weed or dont,noone can force you;its your life. but yes its true, smoking anything is bad for your lungs, but maybe you can use it as tea or jsut eat it if your concerned about your lungs, people just smoke it so it can run through the blood stream faster i geuss. lol my mom use to put weed in her soups, but im cambodian so yes we use it in are cooking at times.

Smoking weed can stunt your growth, physically and mentally, especially if you haven't hit your early 20's yet as a male (late teens for the ladies), although the age people stop growing can vary with each person. This I learned in class as a psych major from a reputable research university (the University of CA education system). All drugs have similar or even stronger effects. In class the professors told us students to wait to experiment with drugs after the early 20's and also confirmed drug experimentation can be a normal part of growing up. Ever dated or known a stoner who was a stoner since age 13? All the ones who smoked since early high school that I dated could not do simple math like pre-algebra or hold great paying jobs, but this could also tie into motivation and stupidity aspects as well. I know a lot of professionals (doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.) who smoke the ganj but didn't start until college or even after.

Hey man try and use some punctuation please, what you wrote was absolute rubbish.

Smoking weed shouldnt fasten or speed your metabolism. Weed should just makes you eat more and thats called the munchies. I sometimes eat a massive meal and then have a few bong hits and my tummy feels hungry but im not. you'll find when it happens and you eat you might not be able to eat alot. its just your stomach because of the weed. But then again everybodies different so it may.

And to the people saying smoking weed is stupid thats your preference. Everbodies different. If it doesnt affect you then dont worry about it. Ive been smoking weed for 13 years and I enjoy it. I go home from work everyday and have a cone. just like some people go home and have a glass of wine. the only thing with weed is its not legal. But i also find it funny how people say smoking weed can harm you. Of course it can nobody is stupid enough to think it doesnt. Brain cells die every hit you take and the affect it has on your lungs is terrible. But guess what, I bet half the people saying its stupid drink sometimes. pretty sure drinking can give you cancer.

Your friend told you that it will stunt your growth? Meaning you are not fully grown? Well start doing your homework because many studies prove a non-fully developed brain that fed stimulants is a major cause of schizophrenia and other mental/ nervous system disorders like panic attacks, random fight or flight defense activation, etc.

Anyway..

If your resting heart rate goes up, so does your metabolism. Marijuana is well known to increase your resting heart rate. Higher resting heart rates are associated with increased risk of heart attack.

Weed has 3 symptoms...sleep, hunger, happyness, period.

you got what are called the good ol munchies

I love me some MaryJane :]
