I'm loosing a lot of weight

Hey its me again, I didn't know where to post this exactly, but Ivery been smoking marijuana everyday now for the past year. I have lost so much weight around my collar bones and ribs and arms... can smoking marijuana make you lose weight? does it have other really bad health side affects...

the only way i know that weed can make you lose weight is if you get so high you forget to eat.
i have serious problems with my stomach, botched surgery when i was younger, crohn's as i get older, and a recurring hernia that comes back every time they fix it. i live on yogurt and mashed potatoes. if i didn't have weed, i'd have been dead a long time ago. i have days where i can't eat anything without getting sick, and getting high is the only thing that helps, it at least makes me relax and not worry about dropping dead in the next few minutes.
whatever is making you lose weight, its not pot. try stopping for a while and see what happens

alright, that was my initial knee jerk response.
its possible it may be having an adverse effect on you. not all people are the same, i know a girl that just can't smoke, it makes her freak out and get very anxious, no matter the strain.
maybe you should stop for a while and see if it makes a difference. if you quit for a month and see yourself picking up weight, you might have a problem with it.
if you enjoy smoking, maybe you could try edibles for the effect without the anxiety

Pot can make you lose weight. THC-V is an appetite suppressant and in larger doses THC can be too. It's been shown in a meta analysis study that people who chronically smoke weed are thinner than people who do not. I imagine it has to do with regulating and balancing our systems. I really do not find that I eat excessive amounts being a pot head... not at all. When I first started to smoke, yeah, you get a serious case of munchies but if you are habitual it's much different.

Pics or it didnt happen.

I have a friend who actually loses weight when she's smoking on a normal basis and when she quit smoking she gained some weight ....she says it's the weed and had done this several times in her life ....it's hard for me to believe but she's not on any other drugs and has nothing to gain by lying to me ...I feel like a carry a few extra lbs when I'm keeping the pipe hot so to speak ........try quitting for a while if your worried ....or just get checked out because noticeable weight loss could mean other serious health issues that could need looked at ....not trying to scare you GL

like inda says, i'd get checked out by a MD. usually smoking dope won't cause weight loss if that's the only "drug" you take or do. good luck

that is all i do, no use for pills, too old to be trippin anymore.
my stomach is seriously fucked up, and i would be losing weight without weed.
i'm willing to bet there are a lot more people in my boat than yours.
if you're using weed as medication and its making you lose weight, it may not be for you.
explore other avenues, just don't fuck up my avenue.

Ok I normally would not respond but I'm laughing my ass off reading this post I've been smoking weed since I was 7 yrs old I'm 27 now. I smoke wax, oils, butters, and most of the time just frosty flower I smoke on an average 4 blunts and 20 or so bong rips EVERYDAY I'm 6'2 245 pounds lol I'm pretty sure weed hasn't blessed me with the gift of auto thinning. I think it's time to get checked for tape worm if you're losing an access of weight week to week or its time to eat a burger or two and leave the salads to the figure queens. I don't have any problems losing or gaining so either your sick or you have tainted weed with chems. In it and causing effects. Or you are trolling this site with nothing better to do but just that and people who FREAK OUT after smoking weed is due to SELF INDUCED ANXIETY fear that people KNOW I'm high and the COPS are coming if people would chill the fuck out while and after smoking they could enjoy it better other than the false sense of someone coming to arrest you for participating in something illegal smoke em if you got em

Oh ya and if you're one of those people who have friends that FREAK OUT during and after smoking tell them Xanax is a real thing and maybe they should introduce it into there own lives so it will help us non pussy smokers enjoy our high without a fuck face blowing my high because they are high and can't relax and chill--- vent complete

Unexplained weight loss is almost always a bad sign. See a doctor.

studies show that CBD does in fact regulate blood sugar, stimulate the breakdown of stored fat, increase the number of mitocondria in the cells (use more calories), and reduce fat cell production. So yes, technically marijuana does in fact cause weight loss. But for best results you need to eat it and should be a strain with high CBD. Also, it helps weight loss through making our body work more efficiently, not directly, so the only weight you should lose is extra fat. If your losing muscle and healthy tissue, and not just lots of nasty ugly fat, and you don't have an eating disorder, then their is something really not right. First thought would be a tumor diverting all the calories to feed itself. Not to scare anybody, but the beauty of our world is that 2x2 always equals 4... so there is a rational explanation.

OK that's fine but 90% of all strains have very low traces of CBD and more THC so for that to be an accurate explanation this person would have to be on CBD extract and from what I read not the case it might be in this persons best interest to just smoke ciggerretts leave my weed and medicine alone

If that CBD thing is true. Then I'm going to go get some White Rhino.

In the case of one rad chick... maybe it's boosting your metabolism.

Different people's bodies react to the same thing in different ways. It wouldn't hurt to get checked out by an MD just to rule out any other causes and give yourself peace of mind.

Smoking weed heavily every day makes me loose weight aswell guys and gals, if I take a break for a couple of weeks i start putting weight back on no big deal. Pretty common among my circle of smoking bro's.

Chronic smoker here. 7 years and counting. Throughout these years, I haven't had a week straight 3 course meal. Just 1 meal enough to survive the day or two if I'm not lazy. 105lb is the minimum weight, and I won't lose anymore now, nothing else to lose. Went visit my relatives for 3 weeks, and ate normally for 3 weeks, and didn't smoke until the last day I left. Ended up weighing 121lbs, and was my highest weight. Shrunk back to 105-108lbs, when I got back home - Not instantaneously lol . Not eating right, working a lot, stress & responsibilities that shouldn't be on you takes a tow out of you.

My Younger brother, just by one year is weighing about 198lbs, isn't a chronic smoker. Every time he visits, he gets bigger and bigger, and now hes losing weight, as I got him a job, which involves moving around a lot.

Conclusion: It was the drugs! More on cigs & weed.

Weed is not a drug dip shit lol

Drugs are things you can die from, suck dick for, and kill or rob for. last time I checked that's absolutely impossible from weed unless you light up 10 pounds and seal the room so you die of lack of oxygen that's the only way weed could ever be a killer even then it wasn't the weed so before you classify it as a drug you should know the facts on the classification of a drug and if you find it necessary to suck cock for weed your problems are much worse

On a more serious note. The only times I've ever lost a lot unusual amounts of weight was 2x when I had pneumonia, 1x when I was diagnosed with the C word. Make sure you get yourself checked out if you lose a lot of weight and you can't explain it...
