I forget what the term for this body type is, but basically; there is a type of person who's body turns food into calories extremely well. This is beneficial to the brain, as it is a huge consumer of calories.
The downside to this body type is that the brain is always very active; it always has lots of calories to draw from. Makes for great programmers and problem solvers, but also leads to poor attention span and insomnia.
So my theory is that marijuana is a dampener on the brain for these people. It doesn't improve insulin control, it's just that people who like to use marijuana tend to have fantastic insulin control. The logic being good insulin control = noisy brain = marijuana use.
I don't think you could prove this, you'd need some way to quantify noise in the brain.
- mtphil 9y agoVery fascinating idea, thanks for sharing !
- Jyaif 9y agoYou could start by proving that marijuana usage is hereditary.
- sudomake 9y agoI believe you might be referring to "ectomorph"?
- jbob2000 9y agoYup! That's it!

Interesting - that part about overactive brain, short attention span and insomnia matches ADHD very nicely. In my case, since I began using stimulants to treat ADHD, my sugar cravings disappeared and weight stabilised. In the past I used to overeat, because it calmed me down.
- sebazzz 9y agoWhat stimulants are you referring to? Are those subscription/recipe based?
