Hey Ketonians
I am a cannabis user. I have been for 48 years. Sometimes more, sometimes less and a five year period of none. I have had energy burn out recently and wondered if the amount that I use could be an issue slowing down my BMR. I did a search and found a couple of interesting things. I have more to read but I thought I should start this thread. I hope itās interesting to some of you.
Personally I used to get the cliche āmunchiesā sometimes when I used marijuana but I noticed after carb withdrawal it never happens anymore. From the second article, āEssentially what may be happening is this: Marijuana will generally promote appetite and binge eating when first using marijuana. Eventually, it has the opposite effect the cannabinoid receptors in your brain become desensitized or trained.ā
This one is about the endocannabinoid system and the reason there are claims that cannabis is helpful for so many medical problems. I think many claim the āmedicinal claimsā about cannabis are purely based on people wanting a drug legalised but cannabinoids are produced in our own bodies and are a key part of many bodily processes including the production of arachidonic acid, an important EFA that makes up a large percentage of brain tissue.
