    Cannabis its just a plant

    Marijuana enhances all sorts of things. Many people report that cannabis causes them to eat more.

    "endocannabinoids in the hypothalamus activate cannabinoid receptors that are responsible for maintaining food intake."

    Some studies have also found certain cannabinoids can have an appetite suppression effect. Clinical trials are currently being done.

    "THC activates parts of the brain (Cannabinoid receptors) which are linked to appetite. (It is believed that cannabinoid receptors are activated after birth to make an infant hungry until they can learn the daily routine of eating)"
