If you've ever smoked marijuana, there's a good chance that shortly afterwards you had a food craving. Known as the "munchies," this side-effect of getting high has been keeping Taco Bell in business for years. It also happens to be the THC's way of playing tricks on your brain and stomach.
But why the craving for junk food?
There's also a reason why when you get the munchies, it's normally for stuff like pizza, chips and cookies, instead of kale salad.
If your brain has tricked your body into thinking it's starving, your body is going to want high-calorie, fatty foods to boost energy. Your sense of smell is also amplified when you're high and the strong scent of something like french fries or popcorn is going to trigger cravings.

But what if I want to smoke, but not get the munchies and gain weight?

Leafy say
Different strains may give you the munchies more than others and some may even suppress appetite. It's best to do your research on various pot strains and see how they affect your body.

No problem, bro.
Also, keep some healthy snacks on hand just in case those munchies flare up. Yogurt popsicles, carrot sticks and hummus, etc.
