My new view on munchies

what? why would you want to overcome the munchies? food tastes divine when your high.

 

I'm gonna have to come back and read this when I'm sober.

And when my mouth stops yelling at my stomach "look out, here comes more FOOD!"

 

when your high, your not HUNGRY per say but your body is trying to get yout o eat. you know how when you first smoke, your heart beats fast? but once it starts to even out and your coming down, you feel really relaxed. this makes your body think theres a drastic drop of blood preasure. so it gives you an appitite for high sugery and salty things to bring your blood preasure back up. (keep in mind thoguh your blood presure is actualy fine, just due to the extream up and then extream down, your body THINKS your blood preasure has dropped)

 

IDk I just dont get munchies anymore. Which I love. I just stopped eating at all while high and now all I get is thirsty. But who dosnt.

 

Haven't had the munchies in awhile, I usually just eat before I smoke so I know it's my body playing a trick haha.

 

I thought it was a hormone which caused munchies

 

I eat when I'm hungry, not when I feel like it.

 

ive over come the munchies as well, i just think about how it would taste good but in the end be too much food, and i get this feeling or sensation of hunger in my stomach, but ive been able to mask the feeling of 'munchy hunger' for more of a pleasurable feeling to the body

 

Dude... that actually makes so much sense.

 

Does eating bring your high down? I think it may do that for me.

 

well i am stoned right now and I gotta say munchies are the shit man.. its all good i am more of a drink guy so i always have a coke by me

 

i have a personal rule of always eat before smoking. to me, eating dousent make me come down, it just makes me groggy cuz ill usualoy overstuff myself on munchies lol. and just like over stuffing yourself when your not high, it makes you sleepy. same thing for when you are high.

 

My tastebuds go when im high but only with food. If i ha drink it tastes divine so ill always keep lots of soft drinks around aswell

 

Hell yeah my brutha! Especially when you've had cotton mouth all night and then all of a sudden your drinking a chilled lemonade or w/e and it's one of the best feelings everR

 

It's got nothing to do with that. I wish people would stop making shit up.

The part of your brain that governs appetite is rich in cannabinoid receptors. When they get tickled by the THC it stimulates appetite.

A similar phenomenon causes red eyes and dry mouth, in that the part of the brain that governs tear and saliva production is also rich in CB1 receptors.

 

I thought red eyes were due to the decreased ocular pressure and added blood flow?

 

It decreases ocular pressure, which is why it helps glaucoma patients. It does cause the capillaries to expand some because it's a vasodialotor, but that only adds to the effect once the eyes dry out.
