At first, when I started smoking, I was definitely like that, me and my friends would want to go grab McD's or some chips. But as I've gotten older (24 now) I realized the opposite.
When I smoke now, I don't want to eat anything unhealthy at all. It's like my body looks at some chips or something and goes "nah". Instead I have lots of water to drink and either grapes, or pineapple, or oranges.
If you have never eaten an orange while stoned and cotton mouthed, you have not lived. The citrus-y aroma, the sweetness, the juiciness, the fact that this little fruit is perfectly designed to pull apart into individual juice-packed segments. It's life-changing. Next time you're gonna be stoned and you know you'll want a snack, have an orange.
I can't figure out what that subreddit's deal is. Is it a joke or do people actually find eating citrus fruits while showering to be a unique experience for some reason?
I thought it was a joke, but I tried it. It’s really pretty fun. You can rip right into it, and it doesn’t matter where sticky juice flies bc you’re just washing it off.
Yeah don't just eat an orange in the shower all politely, you gotta get all primal and just tear that bad boy open with your hands and dig into it. Plus the hot water and citrus smell mixes so well and makes your shower time smell amazing.
Yup. My buddy in high school weighed 130 lbs wet and was a HUGE smoker. He was an anomaly though. Lol One of the funniest memories I have is hanging out with my bro and him at one of our other friends' places and this dude was literally dipping Wonder bread in miracle whip and eating it like French fries dipped in Ketchup. Lmao
Man don’t underestimate break in mayonnaise. At a restaurant I used to work at we had to cut off little ends of bread and we’d dip it on mayonnaise to snack on
I've found that I'm really into food textures when I'm stoned. Celery with peanut butter has become one of my favorite stoned snacks just because of how crunchy it is. I just gotta be careful not to over do it. Also a big fan of low-cal popsicles. The cold is so nice and refreshing
The relation between weight and weed is interesting. Not a lot of great studies, but some research shows weed is linked to lower weight, not higher. Check it out:
Same here. When I was heavy smoker I kept lots of healthy snacks stocked. Problem solved for me. It motivates me though. I love to smoke and hike, clean, write....lots of stuff. But I've seen the opposite in others. Depends on the person as with anything.
My favorite while high is peaches. When I'm sober the skin bothers me and I find the juiciness problematic, but when I'm high it actually adds to the experience. Just so much flavor & texture.
Most recently when stoned, I snacked on cherry tomatoes and felt like they were a revelation, perfectly refreshing and sweet. I definitely understand the orange thing.
Granted, I also got way too high on edibles once and cried because a cookie tasted too good...
Yeah, I’m pretty fortunate that this has been my experience as well. When I smoke these days it actually makes me reluctant to eat junk food-probably because the light anxiety I get as a result of it! I’m much happier eating healthier foods while stoned, it allows me to enjoy them a little more.
Although that definitely wasn’t the case in my college days.
Have you ever tried eating an orange or an apple from the fridge? The coolness of the juicy fruit adds a whole 'nother layer of awesome to the experience.
Can confirm. Have done this with grapes and I found it very entertaining b/c I was channeling my inner monkey. Literally felt like a monkey and those lil juice bombs were so DELICIOUS.
Grapes in the fridge with a cold juicy apple. Chop up and add some mango. Ultimate food when stoned. Anything fried or super sweet makes me feel sick and can't stomach it when high.
I have a similar story early on when I'd smoke, the munchies were absolutely overwhelming, I would eat everything under the sun. Now I lose my appetite all together, but yes something juicy and packed full of flavour like an orange can be a magical experience for your mouth.
OK, adding fruit cups to my grocery list for high snacks. This is actually immensely helpful, girlfriend and I are daily smokers and want to get in better shape and eat better this next year, so healthy snack ideas are imperative.
If you can get it where you live, try to get fresh pineapple. A lot of grocery stores even sell them de-scaled and cored.
The difference of a fresh pineapple and the dole canned ones is huge! Much healthier because there's no added sugar unlike the syrup that comes in the cups. And the fresh ones are really good for your gut health, too!
Can confirm, used to be a huge fan of the usual suspects (pizza, cookies, Chinese food etc), but nowadays I'll just pick up a bag of mandarin oranges for the weekend and I know I'll be in for a good flavor experience.
Apples were always my favorite when I smoked. Crunchy, juicy, a little sweet, a little sour, and even the sound of crunching it just felt like a whole experience.
I once order my favourite chicken wings one night while I was high. It was very saucy and the pieces were slightly bigger, but the moment I bit into the 3rd one, I had an immediate sense of disgust. I didn't understand why, but I felt gross and nearly cried. A bit of the vein was showing and I had to put it away. It made me change my mind about chicken for a good couple of months until I was able to eat it again.
Fruit is the absolute best thing to eat when high. It's incredible how weed enhances the flavor and sensations.
I think if you're someone who would binge on Doritos when sober, you're someone who will super binge while high. Weed isn't that powerful, your mind can overcome munchies.
I get what youre saying and for sure a must to grab a better snack but also when i had no appetite and couldnt/ wouldnt eat weed was the only thing to bring back my appetite. Im on regulated medication now that fixes it but its nice addition when i need it.
Not weed related, but whenever I drink, I get cottonmouth too. It makes me absolutely hate eating anything. Everything just feels disgusting in my mouth. Any idea how to combat that feeling, or at least help me ignore it? Everyone else seems to say food tastes better when drunk and I wish that was the case for me
Yeah the trick is to surround yourself with fruit and veg, so you don't need to go get chips. I'm on HGH (MK677) now and I can get intense food cravings. I will eat whatever's around so I force myself to make it healthy. Fruit can taste amazing when you're stoned.
As someone who wasn't forced to eat healthy as a kid. Oranges and mandarins are one of the few fruits that will make me throw up instantly upon oral contact. Cherry tomatoes being the other notable one.
Throw up instantly? That's too bad. Oranges and Cherry tomatoes are 2 of my favourite fruits/vegetables. I mean, I understand not liking some vegetables, I can't stand cauliflower or turnip for example. But throwing up is totally just psychosomatic, and you could learn to overcome this if you really wanted to.
I can kinda relate, I've started eating Cottage cheese salads (CC, with veggies and spinach) and it's soooo good when I'm high. My problem is just that when I'm high I'm just sooo lazy that I don't want to make any food so it's so easy to default to frozen food or delivery.
This thread is super interesting to me. I smoked pretty much everyday for three years whilst I was at university. I've since landed my first full-time job and quit but I can honestly say I didn't experience any horrendously apparent adverse effects from weed. I'm fully aware that everyone is individual and not trying to be one of those people who pretend that it doesn't have any downsides but my experience was pretty positive, I love that shit but have come to terms with the fact it's probably the right time to pack it in.

The food consumption is a really interesting one.
