Does marijuana have an effect on the human metabolic rate? Does it slow metabolism? ?

Question

Does marijuana have an effect on metabolism? Can it slow the resting metabolic rate? Can it quicken the rate?

Answer 1

It quickens it up but only for a short period of time.

Answer 2

It doesn't slow it down, but I hear it also doesn't speed it up.

It does however affect your sense of hunger, hence the "munchies".

It also strengthens your ability to metabolise toxins, mainly the drug itself, hence a tolerance to cannabis is built up with increased usage.

Answer 3

why would you get the munchies if it slowed down your metabolism?

thc speeds up your metabolism...over time if you're a heavy smoker this won't happen as much, but nonetheless the answer to your question is SPEEDS IT UP

however, most people still gain weight, since no increase in metabolism can make up for the 12 donuts, 4 cheeseburgers, 9 cokes, 4 chocolate milks, and hot fudge sunday you ate during the last commercial break...lmao

fyi...bite-sized snack foods are dangerous when you're high...one minute your opening a new 1lbs bag of tortilla chips and next thing that is important enough to steal your attention from the tv is your hand hitting the bottom of the bag...and then you have to GET UP and  walk ALL THE WAY to the kitchen..soooo ****** annoying

now go grab your bong, take a nice big hit, and forget that you even asked this question to begin with...lol

oh...and watch grandma's boy too...BRILLIANT ******* movie

and people, PLEASE don't light the whole bowl at once...SUCH a waste...you know who you are....its like wiping your *** with an entire brand new roll of toilet paper without even unrolling it...stop it

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure it quickens it, which is why people get the munchies. I think it depends on the marijuana and person too.
