AI Overview



Approximately
16% of U.S. adults are current marijuana users (which contains THC), while about 51% report having tried it at least once in their lifetime, according to recent data from 2023 and 2024 sources.

Are you actually citing an AI overview?

I mean, really?

No, marijuana does not directly cause weight gain, and evidence suggests it may even correlate with lower body weight or reduced obesity risk in users. Here's a breakdown based on scientific studies and mechanisms:
Key Evidence from Studies

Population-Level Data: Large epidemiological studies consistently show cannabis users tend to have lower BMI (body mass index) and lower rates of obesity compared to non-users.
A 2011 analysis of two national surveys (NESARC and NCS-R, involving over 50,000 adults) found cannabis users had lower prevalence of obesity, even after adjusting for age, sex, and tobacco use.
A 2013 study in the American Journal of Medicine (using NHANES data from 2005–2010) reported that current cannabis users had 16–17% lower fasting insulin levels, smaller waist circumferences, and lower obesity rates than non-users.
A 2019 meta-analysis in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research reviewed 20+ studies and concluded regular cannabis use is associated with lower BMI and reduced obesity risk, though causation isn't proven.

Longitudinal Studies: Research tracking people over time shows similar patterns.
The CARDIA study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults, following participants for 15+ years) found cannabis use was linked to lower weight gain over time, independent of other factors.


Why the "Munchies" Myth Doesn't Lead to Weight Gain

Marijuana (especially THC-dominant strains) stimulates appetite via CB1 receptors in the brain and gut, often causing acute "munchies" and increased calorie intake in the short term.
However, this doesn't translate to net weight gain for most users:
Metabolic Effects: THC may increase metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote fat browning (converting white fat to energy-burning brown fat), counteracting calorie surplus.
Behavioral Factors: Users often choose high-calorie snacks during munchies, but overall daily intake may not exceed non-users due to compensatory reductions in other meals or increased activity.
Dose and Frequency: Occasional use might lead to temporary overeating, but chronic users show the inverse weight association.

Wait, what legal limits?

In Ohio, the current legal limit for delta-9 THC in the blood while driving is 2 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). It is also a "per se" offense to have a concentration of 50 ng/mL or more of a marijuana metabolite in your blood

So over government regulation is not a big deal?

Agreed. It's part of my fun on discussion forums to compare what people claim to what they demonstrate in their posts.

A smart person can play stupid, but it's very difficult for a stupid or poorly educated person to play smart and/or educated. Googling, like Perry PhD is famous for doing, and claiming it's an education just makes the person look desperate.

Which is why I never talk about what I did before I retired. It's completely irrelevant on an internet forum and no-one would believe me anyway, lol

Funny, isn't it, how the MAGA morons attack federal regulation when it's a Democrat pushing them but flip-flop when it's their Orange Jesus shredding the Constitution and imposing autocratic laws on the nation?

This is how I know all MAGAts are traitors. Especially those who have taken the oath.
