Why do you get hungry from smoking marijuana?

Answer 1

Smoking weed makes you hungry because the THC is very similar to a natural occuring chemical in your brain that triggers hunger, and when the THC binds to the chemical receptors in your brain it makes you feel hungry again.

Answer 2

THC triggers the CB1 receptor in the brain. The CB1 receptor is responsible for stimulating hunger. So, you get hungry. Currently, there is research being done on the possibility of blocking this receptor as a means of fighting obesity.
