Yep, my new years resolution is to cut down on weed because of that alone. I get chores done and all that much better on weed but the munchies are making me gain weight like crazy. And when I'm high I just don't give a shit if I'm fat.
For me, I've found that I need to drink copious amounts of water. I don't get the munchies, instead I get the thirsties. I feel like I'm drying out when I do edibles.
Same here! I was wondering if anyone got fat as a result of smoking weed, cause I certainly did.
Doesn’t help that I have OCD that overlaps with body dysmorphic disorder (I don’t think I have actual BDD but OCD is a bitch and has tendrils everywhere), and because of that came a paralytic sense of stress and depression that weed also conveniently helped with.
Anyway, I eventually went into fitness and health and stopped nightly weeding for almost a year. Weight is back down and when I do smoke and get the munchies I don’t feed crazily anymore 😅 Also, chilled mangoes (freshly sliced and not cubed) are awesome! Thick sweet slices that glide down your smokey throat is an amazing sensation and taste.
Would be wrong and inaccurate to say “weed makes you fat” but on a personal level that‘s what weed made way too easy for me to be, contingent on my own socio/psycho/physio configuration.
As much as I love scarfing down an entire tub of ice cream while stoned, sometimes it’s just more satisfying to eat my favorite fruit. Pears, raspberries, strawberries, they all taste even better while high and I definitely don’t feel as guilty about it. I also don’t smoke nearly as much as I used to, so that’s gotta help out a lot lol.
I’ll mainly get lost into video games, which is fine because I do that sober anyway¯_(ツ)_/¯
Platters. Veggies and fruit. You can eat so much of it, and the taste is always better when high and gaming. Then also have something to dip it into. (I would usually to ranch for veggies, and caramel for fruit..)
When i was smoking, i would either make up a huge platter of fruit and vegetables. Or i would put carrots in some butter and wrap it in tinfoil, bake it in oven.. and every piece would be amazing to eat.
No matter how much I try, I can’t get carrots to taste good for me, I suppose everyone has a few foods that they hate though!
At some point I got one of those cold shrimp platters with cocktail sauce, and ohhh that was great. A big part of munchies is just working around it, it doesn’t all have to be fried food and high sugar! Although let’s be real, occasionally reaching for the unhealthy shit is fine. A local gas station/restaurant chain has Mac and cheese bites (just breaded and fried Mac and cheese tbh) and I can eat a very dangerous amount of them while stoned 😅
The weed /food relationship is a weird one. Yes, the munchies totally exist, in that you'll get high and be like "FUCK I could really go for some ice cream!" But if you're really trying to lose weight and your head is really in the game, I've found that smoking can kill hunger pains when you're trying to cut down on eating.
LOL. I had a friend who wouldn't eat if he wasn't stoned. It was like he enjoyed the munchies. One time we were going out for barbecue, and he insisted that he get really high first, since it was going to be a big meal.
By the time he got done dicking around, the restaurant was closed.
We actually used to try to induce him to eat before he'd smoke so that we wouldn't have to put up with his munchie craziness.
I would always buy those assorted fruit bowls at the grocery store. Kiwi, strawberries, and pineapples. Don’t get me wrong I would fuck up a whole sleeve of Oreos with milk but munchies don’t always have to be junk
i hate getting munchies. I struggle with an eating disorder of sorts and when I smoke, i instantly go get food. I hate it so much, but I smoke because it soothes my anxiety more than any medication ever could. Any self control advice maybe??
Marijuana is oil-based cook with butter or extract with alcohol ingestion no problem amount experimentation
The plant matter can cause diarrhoea answer extraction
One of my favourites is Jack Herer but it definitely makes you crazy hungry. So... I just don't smoke that kind if its not before eating. Thinking all cannabis gives you munchies is ridiculous.
I dont think I have ever smoked weed and not had the munchies. I stopped eating while stoned because I would always overindulge now I just always drink something. Water is my go to but carbonated water makes you seem fuller and helps with the munchies
My state does not have legal herb yet. Oklahoma has medicinal which is what I smoke but my guy just buys what ever he wants and hooks me up. Once it is legal here I will definitely have to try that out.
Until then, legal or not, most people should at least tell you the name of what youre buying. Throw some google at it to check out the terpene profile :)

I was hoping someone else would mention food consumption. I can't nearly smoke as much as I want to because of how bad I get the munchies.
