Humulene, terpene found in some weed strains (and also other plants like hops and ginger), has some evidence of being an appetite suppressant.
When I first went through the process of getting my medical card, I was required to have a consultation with the pharmacist and she recommended strains with that if I have a problem with the munchies. Personally, I really like to get high and eat so I’ve mostly avoided those strains, so I cannot attest to the effectiveness of this myself.
Well you better fuckin’ believe it because some people live in actual poverty and even getting high is a luxury. The idea that I have ever had the money to piss away on food delivery is fucking laughable, but especially after I got really financially fucked being diagnosed with cancer three years ago now. Even during COVID I was busy getting a degree and had to budget super tightly to make it through and be able to afford weed once in a while. My budget has been so tight lately that I haven’t even smoked in a year and a half (and sometimes I really wish I could afford it because it really helps with the stomach cramps caused by my cancer medications). There hasn’t been a time in the last eight years that I didn’t qualify for food stamps. I don’t know what to tell you.
ah yes, weed, the stuff that famously makes you not want to eat

I mean, honestly, for me, yeah. It distracts me and makes me too lazy to make a meal.
It makes me lazy, but it also lowers the bar for what I consider food.
Why yes I’ll eat those 50 individually wrapped slices of American cheese
In the end there’s just a massive mountain of empty wrappers on the couch, they stay there until the next morning.
Fuck you for calling me out like this.
I try to keep that kind of food out of my home so I don’t end up doing that, but yeah, sometimes it happens.
Exactly, so it leads to eating multiple bags of chips instead.
If you’re telling me that’s never ended up in you ordering Doordash from like 3 places at once when you really shouldn’t have, I don’t believe you.

If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, you won’t want to eat. I’ve had it twice and I lost weight. 🤷♂️
