A question about marijuana

Question

Okay, my cousin has false knee caps and he's always in alot of pain so to take away the pain he sometimes smokes marijuana, i've noticed he's been loosing weight, can marijuana make you loose weight ?

Answer 1

Some people experience weight gain because they get the "munchies", but after a while this effect wears off and sometimes you crave less than before.  I don't know how much weight he's lost, but this could contribute to it.

The only way marijuana can make you lose weight is if your spending all your money on it and not on food.

Frequent marijuana users usually gain weight due to the increase of appetite while on the narcotic. This appetite increase is widely known as "the munchies."
