Best Answer

I did quit smoking pot at the age of 18 mainly due to anxiety attacks. At the time I was a healthy weight. That was 10 years ago. Around 12 months after quitting, I gained 40kg and still have not been able to shake the weight even though I eat healthy and exercise. So, each person is different, but maybe your best bet is to see your doctor and discuss a weight management plan and have your thyroid function checked.

The use of marijuana does not directly effect weight gain, or cellulite.

Cellulite is caused by problems with the connective tissues and the expansion of fat cells inside the body and marijuana does not directly, or indirectly effect these connective tissues.

How does marijuana effect metabolism?

The effect of marijuana on metabolism has not yet been scientifically determined, but its effects on appetite and weight gain HAVE been proven. Those who smoke pot will experience "the munchies," although it is unclear whether this is due to a temporarily increased metabolism or whether it is caused by other chemical responses in the brain. Over time this increased caloric consumption will lead to weight gain, which is why HIV/AIDS patients who need to gain weight may be treated with marijuana to help improve their appetite.
