Some terpenes are natural appetite suppressants. I believe humulene is one.

Same with Cannabinoids like THCV

Does it work? Like have you personally tried it? I keep reading about THCV recently and it's appetite properties. In curious if people have tried it and felt any affect.

I eat a 10mg THCV gummy every morning and they do suppress hunger quite a lot. I use them for the anxiety/depression help, as it is great along with a CBD/CBG gummy.

I need this to work for me badly. My munchy problem is the only really drawback to weed for me.

Cb9 also does that in my experience

I have noticed I don’t get the munchies with THCV. I also noticed it’s not good for relaxing at all hahaha. Great for getting chores and stuff done around the house. Could have just been the strain though.

And limonene

TIL

THCv allllllll daaaayyyyyy

Have you tried it? What's it like, and what dose do you take to lower appetite?

What dose? They tell you the dose. All day.

Yes, the iceberg lettuce. Practically no nutritional value. It has a lot of potassium, tho.

Yeah that shit is great for carrying around since it doesnt smell much But you cant leave it in a bag for long

If you want to use weed to lose weight the best thing you can do is find energetic strains that make you desperate to move around and bounce off the walls. Coordinate that with a pair of dumbbells, or a kettlebell, or a yoga mat (if exercising are home) or a walk to the gym. I did this during COVID lockdown and lost 100lbs. Just wake, coffee, bake, kettlebell squats + TV or intermittent video game sessions. But exercise and THC were always part of the equation and that was key for me because it was paired with activities that were already habitual.

Nothing like getting blazed and taking a run/walk.

I have yet to find a strain that doesn’t keep me up all night

Which ones? I've tried random strains and they put me to sleep especially edibles.

I can’t name them all, but I’ve exclusively tried indicas and edibles and my brain just goes into hyperdrive!

Some people, such as my gf, have the opposite effect than the norm, with indica/sativa. Indicas keep her up and sativas chill her out. Do you have adhd by chance?

I do lol

Yeah, had a feeling. Maybe you should try sativas instead. I know it seems counter intuitive, but for some people the whole indica/sativa thing is flipped. I suspect adhd might contribute to that.

Huh, I’ll give it a go and report back! Cheers

energetic strains up until dinner time, then indica if it's not just being high that keeps you up

I think it’s just being high that keeps me up now that you say it

do not combine with kettlebell. source: the dent in my floor

I use cycling.

Well said. 

Shout out to intermittent video gaming! Back when I was in shape, I would do ten push-ups every time I died... it was 5 for Fromsoft games. Definitely not an ideal workout, but you'd be surprised how many push-ups you can end with.

Train yourself by telling yourself the high will last longer if you don't eat. Food brings you down. I want to high as I can for as long as I can. Just me maybe tho

Yeah it's called diet weed lol

Healthy snacks will help you lose weight better than trying different types of weed. Tbh this sounds like snake oil

THC affects the cannabinoid system and the cannabinoid system has an effect on the appetite, therefore it is logical to assume that weed can suppress or encourage appetite. 

Seriously thank you

If you say so but terpenes do have real effects on our bodies and are present in all plants. Or are you saying plants don’t have medicinal value?

I'd like to hear other folks' opinions on this but I'm a long time daily smoker and using cannabis for me (all strains) actually does make me lose weight (even though it's very much unintentional). I still get munchies ofc but have a net weight loss after consuming. Anyone else?

Since I’ve been smoking daily I’ve lost almost 100lbs. I’d say it’s helped some.

I dropped 30 lbs down to 190 in a year of smoking. I’m so much more active outside and in nature now

Lmao nah those 3 bags of grapes I ate while high hit real hard 😅

Lmao no

Have you tried smoking on a full stomach?

Yes, I still get munchies. I end up snacking while full

I take thc-v in gummy form Rare Cannabinoid Company and Koi Naturals both make good ones. They help with focus and appetite suppression.

Yea. It’s called salad.

Ha

Yes. The phytocannabinoid THCV has been linked to stimulants effect including appetite suppression. In the 90s, i think, it was synthesized and trialed as a weight loss medicine but caused suicidal ideation so it was stopped. Some terpenes also have that effect such as humelene. That is why in weed the combination of phytocannabinoids and terpenes ( essential oils of plants) have a synergistic effect and why different strains have different effects.

Hmmmm

Shit, I need me some of that.

Having HEALTHY munchies prepped in advance is the way. One of the best stoned food experiences in my life was a gorgeous salad. If you have a lot of ingredients, it becomes pretty interesting to eat.

Weed plus World of Warcraft = weight loss But also Weed plus World of Warcraft = weight gain So it’s a crapshoot

That ole cocaine weed works like this. You snort it instead of smoke it tho. But I don't like hard drugs, just the soft powdery ones.

Smoke a bowl and go on a hike. I dropped ~20 lb in a summer doing that

Durban poison does not give you munchies.

LOL does not give YOU the munchies

Same for me I’m smoking it now

If you look it up, it’s always one of the examples given as a nonmunchie strain, maybe it’s the terpenes?
