Yes: Marijuana-related hunger is well documented; the effect is even used to increase appetite in cancer/hiv pts. Mj acts on the cb 1 receptors found in the brain, stomach, & intestines that deal with eating behavior.

Yes: Marijuana is used to treat poor appetite and cachexia (wt loss). The effect will be different depending on the THC/CBD ratio and the strain. https://www.sensibleseeds.com/medical-marijuana-strains-for-appetite-stimulation.html
