I lost 70lbs smoking pot. Health is better than it has been in years. Munchies go both ways, you just have to learn to "flip the switch". I'm a filthy criminal

I lost 70lbs smoking pot. Health is better than it has been in years. Munchies go both ways, you just have to learn to "flip the switch".
I'm a filthy criminal.
- jnbiche 13y agoCan you expand on that thought? How do you "flip the switch"?
- madaxe 13y agoWell. Two things. I ate largely due to anxiety. Weed makes me not anxious. Therefore I ate less. Secondly, you can decide to morph that "hungry" feeling into a "full" feeling. Not quite sure how to put it, but you can convince yourself - a bit like when you're holding an ice cube, and convince yourself that it's heat you can feel.
- fein 13y agoMy fix was always just drinking lots of fizzy water. That and an electronic cigarette. I just don't seem to gain weight anymore, nor do I ever manage to finish takeout in one sitting. Seriously, our food portions here are insane.
- angersock 13y agoCigarettes and cigars are awesome appetite suppressants.
- whiddershins 13y agoFor reasonable comparison: I know a guy who lost ~25 lbs when he QUIT smoking pot. So, this stuff is really complex. MJ is not a panacea.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoActually, it may be the closest thing to a panacea yet in medicine considering its potential to impact: pain management, obesity, diabetes, cancer treatment, psychiatry. I'm not aware of any other drug with such potentially wide-ranging applications, especially considering its risk of patient harm.
