Is it true that marijuana increases metabolism? I have heard a flew claims that it speeds it up slightly.
it can, it seems to speed it up for me a lot, but mines naturally pretty high as it is. for many people the munchies and the increased metabolism tend to cancel each other out, for others the metabolism change makes them lose weight if they smoke a lot (not too common) and for others they gain weight from the munchies (more common than losing weight, less common than having them cancel out more or less)
It must. Most of the stoners I know are skinny, despite their need for the munchies. Look at the posterboy of marijuana, Bob Marley. In theory he shouldn't be so thin.
people in third world nations are almost always skinny, and even though Marley was rich, he wasn't raised that way so he'd probably still eat like a Jaimacan. I know fat stoners, and skinny stoners. Though, the fat ones were probably already fat, and the skinny ones were already skinny. Really, I've not noticed much change for either.
it increases your heart rate, and respiratory system. i dont believe it increases the actual chemical processes beyond these indirect means.
My heart feels like that, too. I've actually gained a few punds since I started smoking, but it's muscle. My metabolism has always been kick ass.
Yeah we were hanging out yesterday at a friends and smoking some cheeba (4 joints between 4 of us) and we got RIPPED! But the girl there was like eating and eating and eating everything in sight... It was like : 1. Bowl of salad 2. plate of fries 3. orange 4. 2 bananas 5. bag of popcorn 6. bowl of soup and it fucking amazed me because the chick is like 100lbs! It totally boggled my mind just thinking of how the fuck that all fits into ANYONE. For a note, it took her about 1 1/2 hours to gobble all that stuff up.
haha i eat like that when im high and im 110 lbs. i dont think pot makes a difference in metabolism though
i was always pretty skinny, but i started around the time i started swimming so its hard to say for sure.
incresed heart rate will do it...BUT smoking weed will clog up your lungs at the same time not enough Oxygen = slow metabolism as well, so i would think smoking weed pretty much cancels anything out which would increse it.
smoking weed opens up the lungs while stoned. so you only get less air when you smoke lots in bursts but if you stay stoned, youll be breathing more lol but if you stop, youll have tar in your lungs that you gotta get out somehow
Damn, it woulda been awesome if it raised it, so I could workout, smoke, and just eat a little less and have a high metabolism! lol.
high metabolism is alot about muscle muscle needs more fuel than fat, so if your body is mostly muscle, then u burn more, and have a faster metabolism, just not eating or heart rate wont ever effect much
I lose weight if I smoke chronically. In fact chronic smoking makes me feel a lot more healthy. My body tunes itself up or something
