Munchies

so i've decided that munchies don't exist. last night as my friends were urging me to make a super one run i realized that munchies are just a figment of the imagination. people always hear about them, and assume that since they're smoking, they're going to have the munchies. this is similar to how people who haven't drank very much act their first time (yelling incessantly, stumbling around and what not) they just think that that is how they're suppposed to act.
if you really think about it, you aren't any more hungry than you normally would be. any thoughts?

my theory on drinking is that you just try to get attention and go to any measure to do it, thats why people yell really loud and do flips off shit and stuff, unless u drink alot and can just chill

drinking just gives people an excuse to act all crazy, and the next day they can just say "yeah dude i was just soooo drunk"

maybe munchies do exist, but i don't think they are extreme as many people say. i've been with people who raid the kitchen right after smoking and just eat everything in sight, only to have an aching stomach later. i think that is how they think they're supposed to act.

it's like if someone told you that something was hot, and you touched it, and retracted your hand quickly and said ouch. even though it wasn't hot you still acted as though it was...later to realize that it wasn't. (this happened to a friend of mine this weekend also)

I think its just that everything tastes so damn good. If Im not hungry before, as long as i dont start eating i wont have to, but if i take a bite i cant stop.

The reason you get the "munchies" is because smoking making your matabolism speed up. This causes you to digest any food in you much faster, hence making you hungery. Its a real thing.

well maybe it is real but i think that it is something that is easily controlled, even though people run through the stores grabbing random stuff like was mentioned above.

Once my family made a Roast Beast Dinner, I had happened to be at the peak of a wonderous sesh, I had work up a killer appitite playing squash. I just wolfed it down, smashed potatoes, a brilliant salad and Roast Beast and gravy. It was amazing. Probably the best meal ever.

but seriously that's not necessary. "munchies" give people an excuse to eat insane amounts of food, no matter how aching their stomach will be after. its basically like a contest. last time i was with someone right after smoking he's like ''oh shit i'm hungry now'' and i jus twanted to say, no, you're not

getting high just intensifies all your feelings including hunger. if you eat a big meal before you smoke you will not get the munchies. if you havent eaten for a while and would normally be a bit hungry, smoking will just intensify the hunger. its nothing caused by the weed itself

Munchies = totally real. You get hungry, and then for some reason you keep eating but you don't realize you're eating (because you're usually watching 1242 or something) and you polish off a whole gallon of ice cream or something... NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW... ;)

Munchies while blazed are a physical fact.

When you smoke cheebs, the THC temporarily lowers your blood sugar... thus you get mad hungry.

oh so is that why medical marijuana is prescribed to cancer people?

it is given to them because it stimulates the appetite, thus helping cancer paitents eat more and stay a good weight

you just proved my point i believe. i was saying that if you actually think about it there's no reason to eat gobs of food. it tastes better but there's not like a dying need to eat more.

and why would i make a thread on something i haven't experienced?....idiot

For me its just food is there, and once you start eating you don't realize your still eating.

no one said their is a dying need, you are just hungry. and its like when you eat your stomach is a bottomless pit. its not a fucking contest. you just eat cause you feel like eating. if you arent hungry anymore then you stop. but it never happens you are just still hungry.

actually, current research by drug companies to make an appetite stimulant for cancer patients is mostly based on emulating cannabinoids

so id say muchies have a pretty solid scientific background

and why the fuck do you think taco bell stays open till 1?
