Well you better fuckin' believe it because some people live in actual poverty and even getting high is a luxury. The idea that I have ever had the money to piss away on food delivery is fucking laughable, but especially after I got really financially fucked being diagnosed with cancer three years ago now. Even during COVID I was busy getting a degree and had to budget super tightly to make it through and be able to afford weed once in a while. My budget has been so tight lately that I haven't even smoked in a year and a half (and sometimes I really wish I could afford it because it really helps with the stomach cramps caused by my cancer medications). There hasn't been a time in the last eight years that I didn't qualify for food stamps. I don't know what to tell you.
Humulene, terpene found in some weed strains (and also other plants like hops and ginger), has some evidence of being an appetite suppressant.
When I first went through the process of getting my medical card, I was required to have a consultation with the pharmacist and she recommended strains with that if I have a problem with the munchies. Personally, I really like to get high and eat so I've mostly avoided those strains, so I cannot attest to the effectiveness of this myself.
Yeah. But (legally) dinner was ~$51 vs I think $150 for "medicinal" Marijuana.

I only called one service once, back in 2022 I think. Doctor sounded so bored. Prescribing marijuana over the phone for the weakest claims.

ah yes, weed, the stuff that famously makes you not want to eat
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 33 pts · 192d
I mean, honestly, for me, yeah. It distracts me and makes me too lazy to make a meal.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 63 pts · 192d
It makes me lazy, but it also lowers the bar for what I consider food.
Why yes I'll eat those 50 individually wrapped slices of American cheese
ButteryMonkey@piefed.social · 12 pts · 192d
Fuck you for calling me out like this.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 192d
I try to keep that kind of food out of my home so I don't end up doing that, but yeah, sometimes it happens.

In the end there's just a massive mountain of empty wrappers on the couch, they stay there until the next morning.

Exactly, so it leads to eating multiple bags of chips instead.

If you're telling me that's never ended up in you ordering Doordash from like 3 places at once when you really shouldn't have, I don't believe you.

If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, you won't want to eat. I've had it twice and I lost weight. 🤷♂️

Swap codeine for a full bottle of 1990's robitussin.

The idea is to play a game. Not happening after a full bottle of robitussin.

Bro, if you think I'm gonna smoke weed and not eat 5000 calories of whatever looks good...

Eating ass, while low calorie, is not vegan.

Hungry after work? Too tired to make anything? Try 14 beers for dinner! You surely will not regret 14 beers for dinner

Is that a liter of soda?
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 191d
Litre.

I don't partake myself, but as I understand it doesn't weed give you the munchies?
Delphia@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 191d
It also makes healthy shit taste better.
You can absolutely fuck up a bag of baby carrots and cucumber sticks and a tub of hummus too.
Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 191d
Unfortunately it can also make unhealthy shit taste even better.

Many people yes, some folks no, inject yourself with cheap chinese GP1s and you'll be fine either way.
paultimate14@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 191d
There is some evidence that it depends on the yerpenes, which vary by strain.
Humulene (also found in stuff like ginger and hops) might be an appetite suppressant.
I hope weed gets re-scheduled or legalized in the US so it gets easier to actually research this stuff.

Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 192d
I'll take both, but I'd like to sub for star citizen and some edibles. And make it 2 beers.
