Do marijuanas cause weight loss

Answer 1

No.

Two effects of marijuana, depending on the person are:

• Increased appetite
• Loss of appetite

Some people will experience the "munchies" and will, as a result, eat more food than they actually need, causing weight gain, not loss.

Other people lose their appetite entirely as the brain focuses on trying to clear the effects of the marijuana out of your system, because, even though it feels good to the smoker, the brain hates it and is being damaged every second the drug remains in the bloodstream.

So, scientifically, no, marijuana does not make you lose weight. But in some people it makes them lose their appetite.

Losing your appetite can be done without marijuana, such as brushing your teeth with very strong toothpaste.
