Question, about potheads?

Question

Why is it that pot heads are not fat? I mean maybe some are but all the ones i know are skinny, which confuses me because you eat so much when your high with like the munchies and all. I mean how can you smoke everyday and be constantly eating chips or something as the result of your munchies, but still not get fat? just wondering so if anybody knows, please answer.

Answer 7

Not all potheads get the munchies. Seasoned smokers usaully outgrow it,

Answer 8

This is not a true statement....Usually it,s because we are young when we go through this stage...I know of a few potheads that are middle age and man they are chunky!!!

Answer 9

Those of us that blaze on a regular basis spend all of our money on herb.  We don't have money for food, we'd rather give it to the collie man for some nice bud.

Answer 10

because normal stoners that smoke regularly are adapted to being high throught the course of the day and maintain a life.  (ie.  a job, a car .. blah.)  well the difference between a pothead and a stoner. a pot head is a waste of life piece of s**+ ... but a stoner casually smokes to calm the adgetations of day to day life.

Answer 11

you get hyper so u run around a lot and burn calories and stuff and ur heart beats fast which i guess has something to do with burning calories i think. and i know my friend gets munchies of salads and carrots and healthy food not just chips. it all depends on the type of high you have, u could have a lazy high or a hyper high or a healthy high or an unhealthy high. its confusing, i know.  

Answer 12

I know a lot of fat potheads! some people are just naturally skinny.

Answer 13

munchies only really happen to occasional, recreational pot smokers. if you smoke pot every day, munchies don't really happen all that much, unless you get some great stuff or get really high. uncontrollable giggles fall into the same category.  

Answer 14

It's all about the Metabolism.

Answer 17

Maybe because they have to go back to the same room 1000 times because they can't remember what they went for in the first place.  HUH?

Answer 18

I have often wondered the same thing!

Answer 19

High metabolism.

I know that my brother and I smoke insane amounts of trees, and he stays skinny and I, on the other hand, gained weight. He is the lucky one, and I am not. Now I just smoke and drink a lot of water to fill myself up so that I don't get the munchies and in turn save myself from gaining more weight.

Answer 20

People are people.  Some people are just fat, some people are just thin.

Answer 21

Its the same when you eat healthy, it raises your motabolisms and when you smoke pot (its a plant, and healthy) it burns off the stuff you eat faster?

i have no clue.  

Answer 22

Dont know but do know that it will kill you one day. My homie smokes and he is getting skinnier every day. Good thing i was abble to quit before getting addicted!

Answer 23

I'm 5'3 and 120. I don't know if that's fat but i definately walk around alot when i'm high. I get paranoid alot, so I'm constantly moving. Plus, when i'm not high i'm always caring about what i look like and caring about my weight. But that's just me.

Answer 24

MaryJ is a stimulant (believe it or not...or just look it up) so it speeds up your metabolism and whatnot.  

Answer 25

Answer 26

Since most of the potheads have no money for a car or they lost their license for substance abuse, they must walk everywhere....

Answer 27

The smoking burns calories

its a great way to burn calories but i will NEVER smoke EVER!

Answer 28

Smoking keeps you wired up, and the munchies are the least of the fat producing foods. It also screws with your metabolism, digestion etc, although it may help your eyesight.Except, it is hard to focus and keep your thoughts straight. Many pot heads also have other habits that may keep them slim, like using uppers and downers.  

Answer 29

Wow thats an awesome question...my guess is that the weed speeds up your metabolism or maybe cuz most hippies are vegetarians...I'm sure it has something to do with their lifestyle haha.

Answer 30

Some are fat haha, i guess it just depends what pothead your looking at ..

=]

Answer 31
