A member asked:
I have always been a slim built male. since i started smoking marijuana daily i seem to have a better appetite and gaining healthy weight. is this ok?

Not really: There are many drugs/medications that have the side effect of weight gain . That doesn't mean you should be taking these either to improve your physique. I'm actually fairly liberal when it comes to medical uses for marijuana, but use for treatment of eating disorders is not one of them. You can increase your caloric intake without resorting to mind-altering drugs. And finally, what is legal?
