I get munchies the worst after smoking joints for some reason. With anything else, I still get them but nowhere near as bad as after smoking a joint or two.
That's not very healthy. It's way more healthy to eat a lot of small meals every day. Easier on your digestive system. But anyway, munchies are real, but like someone else said, it's not like you really have to make a big deal about it. Usually when I get the munchies, I probably would have had something to eat anyway. I think if the munchies are anything at all, it's that you don't notice yourself getting full the same way you normally would. The one that I can't explain though, that I get all the time, is beer munchies when I'm done drinking. If I stop drinking before I call it a night, I always get the beer munchies.
When I'm high I don't get hungary, if anything it supresses my appetite. And even if I am hungry, I won't eat because it will sober me up faster.
the munchies are "real", i just think when you are high you have a stronger feeling on wether or not you are hungry, like when i have the munchies, i am hungry, but i dont eat a larger meal than i normally would, its just you have a better sense on wether or not your hungry i think lol
Munchies are a normal reaction to getting high. Noobs and veterans will get them alike, maybe a veteran will be used to control the munchies. I get MAD munchies and I am not a noob, especially when I eat instead of smoking, the definition of bottom less hunger hehe
Sometimes. Also, if I eat dinner or something a while before I toke, I wont eat while high. Sometimes, I do something for a bit, and if I'm chilling with friends, food is definitely in the back of my mind, and sometimes I go without, but sometimes I'll throw in a microwave pizza or a hot-pocket too. Im not a fiend eater, and believe me I have seen a ton of people get out of control with the munchies, I just like the enhanced taste of food when high. I don't eat with the intention of stuffing myself.
I usually don't eat until like a couple hours later, by that time I'm starvin' and it's all so good I've noticed, that some weed doesnt make you hungry. Thats why they have certain strains that increase appetite. So I don't understand why muchies are for noobs.
meh, maybe it's the weed me and my buddies smoke then not one of us ever has the urge to smoke then eat even if we are intentionally going out to eat, then puff a joint, right after no one ever feels like eating then
Its probably just how you guys are man. Its not like every single person who smokes pot gets crazy munchies everytime they do, it can vary a lot from person to person. I know people who dont get the munchies too, or else they just never cave in and eat. Like I said, for me its more about savoring the awesomely enhanced flavor of food. I'm quite satisfied with just a small snack, I dont need to eat copious amounts of food to be happy. Also, from my experience, smoking pot and eating a shitload of food seems to make you burn out harder...
They're strains that decrease nausea and appatite. You very well could be smokin' one . Thats ok, it'll just allow you to drink more beer.
ask your hypothalamus why you get munchies... me: hypothalamus why do i get the munchies? hypothalamus: When you get high cannabinoids enter receptors in me and stimulate me. I control your want, and intake of food... so in turn... i make you hungry. me: thanks.
I don't crave food more after I smoke then any other time, but I always like to eat. I munch all the time, including after smoking.
just because the cannabinoids affect the hypothalamus, this does not mean that cannabis simply causes hunger. all we know is that the processes occur IN the hypothalamus. at any rate, i love eating, and i like to smoke then eat, but this is when im actually about to eat and i smoke before eating because it tastes better that way. and yes i eat a lot when stoned and get the munchies and i think people who dont get the munchies are people who feel guilty about eating, or alternatively are too poor to spare money for food or something. or not bothered. the potential for munchies is always there, it depends on what a person has inhbiting them from getting food. i get the munchies when stoned just from thinking of food. so i figure people who dont think about food much in their daily dwindle, dont get the munchies as much. but i think about food a lot, in fact ive been thinking about it intensely since im high and also reading a thread about munchies. i am going to go eat some food.
sometimes I don't but typically I get them medium good other times I feel like I will fade away if I don't completely gorge myself
