How does marijuana affect obesity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food craving: Thc, the active ingredient in cannabis, is well-known to increase food cravings. Many people eat a lot--especially junk food that lies ready at hand and requires no attention to prepare--while high. The increased caloric intake, especially of the most fat-inducing kind, can add weight.
