we all know that weed can make you very thirsty or hungry, but why? does anyone have information on the physical or mental reasons
Why, yes I do! THC is wicked similar to the proteins your body uses to regulate your appetite. Those proteins are actually called cannabinoid receptors. So when you get high, you're kindof replicating the natural process your body uses to tell you you're hungry. EDIT: For more, or to get an expert opinion rather than some asshole on the internet, just Google "Why does weed give you the munchies." You'll find a number of articles that confirm it.
seriously this interests me a lot. i think its amazing that i can eat a tonnnnn of food, then smoke and within a couple minutes i can hear and feel my stomach grumbling for food. im about to google it
